Fresh from laying down a killer remix of KiNK on Running Back, 17 Steps bosses Dusky offer up their first EP of 2018. The EP's title and opening track, "Amongst The Gods" - a wonderfully sweaty, retro-futurist peak-time anthem full of poignant chords, beautiful synthesizer melodies, bustling breakbeats and ethereal vocal samples - were named in honour of their late friend Jan Francis, promoter of London's infamous ATG Warehouse parties. Much of the rest of the EP sounds like it was tailor made for Francis' old events, too, from the restless piano stabs and fluid chords of "Angles", and the trance-inducing, arpeggio-driven chug of "The Captain", to the sweat-soaked, acid-powered techno intensity of mind-altering smasher "The Ace". There's no doubt their old friend would approve.
