About this item

Radioactive Man (Keith Tenniswood) presents his 6th album ‘Jam Out The Kicks’ released on self-operated label Asking For Trouble. Written while immersed in the throes of touring over the last four years - the album showcases Tenniswood’s singular sound, honed for the international dancefloors that he is charged with. 'Jam Out The Kicks' is released on a triple 12” vinyl package with artwork by renowned artist Lung.

Working together UK rave, jungle, breakbeat and Detroit electro and techno the album plays between these different genres and styles. It brings the grit, joy, grime and funk but also with a big lot of heart in its sensitive softer elements and moments. Opening track ‘Under The Counter’ has been the lead to his live performances - soft and gleaming and with deep warm bass tones it’s his reset track to set the tone for the set. We then move into slap bass funk on ‘See Above’ and through the many sounds on the release - from dense textured and kicking techno to bass heavy rave. Curveball on the release is ‘Sinkhole’ starting out as a collaboration with Suade Bergemann, vocallists Ali Love and Chloe Raunet (C.A.R) both put their touch on it. It’s just one example of Radioactive Man’s desire not to want to be held down to any one sound and to always be developing and moving forward.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Obviously, we knew Keith's bleeps, beats and boings were gonna be top notch. But, would it be all worth it? - splitting it across three discs for maximum soundsystem damage (for ze DJs!) but resulting in a rather undigestable price tag. Thankfully IT DOES! The warmth, fidelity and bass pressure is second to none; whilst Keith's outboard (both modular and analogue) hums like a well oiled engine! One of those releases its worth shelling out for. Treat it like £5 a tune, imagine each one is a separate 12" and you'll get in board ;)
