- Jordan Peak caps off a busy 2013 with the launch of his new label, Rogue Society. Following solid work from Peak on Robsoul, Air London and Tsuba, S.O.O.N. is a confident start for the imprint. The title track shows many of the hallmarks that have gained Peak attention, but he further develops them through a definite techno edge, with a muscular kick and metallic percussion underpinning a murmuring sub and aggressive stabs. Soon into its stride, the male/female vocal and shiny pads contrast against the machine-gun acid notes and rhythmic shuffles.
Following a largely vocal-free dub that loses none of the original's punch is a remix from Mike Huckaby. Flipping the EP on its head with a glowing version that uses a trio of melodic patterns, it's an ever-changing workout from one of Detroit's finest. Greek producer Gala stays closer to home with an elemental rework that aims for 5 AM smoke-filled rooms via a rough-hewn percussive feel and brash leads.
