The latest on Palto Flats is the Shakey debut, a project from Silvia Kastel and Lizzie Davis (Wilted Woman), both who migrated from noise and free improv to the jagged edges of the dance music scene. A syncretic meshing of both artists sensibilities, Shakey encompasses the duo's love of digi-dub, jungle, musique concrete, and the fusing of ambient textures with abstracted rhythms."
"The opener, 'Crayscandens,' is meant to chase the squares out of the room. The 140 BPM free-techno assault cycles, variously, through rave stabs, queasy trip-hop dynamics and jaunty piano. The rest of the five-track EP is more inviting. 'Slappy,' which takes its name from a slap-bass sample deep in the track, is sympatico with fellow murk merchants like Cru Servers. 'Dischidia' flips the 'Fairlights, mallets and bamboo' atmosphere of '80s Japan into something modern and thoroughly alien, while 'e ocean''s burbling, melodic house will appeal to fans of RAMZi." --Resident Advisor
