The best thing about electronic music is that it never stops expanding, advances in technology and improved accessibility have made it easy for anyone with a musical ability to make records from their bedroom. Kevin Blake is a man who's played in experimental rock bands since he was 15 and Electric Underground's live resident has released a six-track debut gem, an EP called You Are What You Hear.

Electric Underground, purveyors of cutting edge techno, dubstep and electronica live in the southwest have chosen their first release as a record label wisely. Experimental rocker and Warp-influenced Blake has played or toured with and the likes of 65Daysofstatic, Ten Past Seven, Altern-8, Giveamanakick, Max Tundra and Donal Dineen.

The EP opens with an eerily catchy Holy Smoke as Blake's experimental influences take hold as the song moves with snare fills and synth bass riffs with minimalist sensibilities.
