Hyperdub welcomes back Heavee for his first full length EP, after appearances on our ‘Nextlife’ and Tenth Anniversary collections. Heavee is a queer producer from Chicago who has released an LP on Teklife, collaborated with Sinjin Hawke and Zora Jones for Fractal Fantasy, had his co-production with DJ Rashad, ‘It’s Wack’, featured on Grand Theft Auto, and remixed Kelela alongside DJ Spinn. His carefully developed a mutant strain of VGM-influenced, wavy synthesizer-heavy footwork shines on 'Audio Assault', an energetic collection with moody, gliding synth melodies, confident swagger and moments of relaxed harmony, laced with trippy, unexpected production details. Made with the idea of a VGM soundtrack in mind, the EP uses each track to score a series of moments in battle; the calm before the storm, the showdown, the battle, and the aftermath, switching mood and pace, sparring with dancers and listener to keep them on their toes.
