#91 Feat. Staff Picks in Electro (Classic / Detroit / Modern)

Radioactive Man (Keith Tenniswood) presents his 6th album Jam Out The Kicks released on self-operated label Asking For Trouble this November 28th. Written while immersed in the throes of touring over the last four years - the album showcases Tenniswoods singular sound, honed for the international dance floors that he is charged with. Jam Out The Kicks will be 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 its 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. Its just one example of Radioactive Mans desire not to want to be held down to any one sound and to always be developing and moving forward. 2024 also saw the UK producer put out I Dont Want This Sort Of Thing in My House EP with Ben Pest on Asking For Trouble and the release of a long lost Two Lone Swordsmen album Still My World on Rotters Golf Club for Record Store Day in April. Jam Out The Kicks is the UK producers first solo LP since 2017s Luxury Sky Garden, which also saw the launch and beginnings of Asking For Trouble. Since he has nearly exclusively released his own productions on AFT and that of his close and respected friends and peers having full creative control. Live sets in 2024 have seen him take in South America, Sydneys Royal Opera House, Bonanza Festival, in the jungle of Colombia, to Dimensions in Tisno, Croatia to Craig Richards Houghton Hall, which saw him debut his first Live / AV set of his career. 2025 will see him tour the A/V show in the UK and Europe (to be announced). 2024 - More traveling and playing live around the planet than ever before, the time has come to stop deliberating and actually release some of this music. The album has been made in reverse, live jams and sequences are then taken into the studio and developed into trax. An interesting if long way to go around crafting these mostly dancefloor tunes. Hence this album has taken 4 years to develop and finally nail. I wanted it to keep the feel of a live set - rough, raw and constantly changing - Radioactive Man
