How can one person be so busy?  Intuitively, there's one person that can tell you the answer, Razor-N-Tape's JKriv as he releases another must-have EP.

Founded in 2012 by DJ's & producers JKriv and Aaron Dae, Razor-N-Tape can't keep up wiith all the JKriv releases, remixes and edits.  He's so prolific but don't think that means there's any less thought goes into them as he's so focused on the dancefloor.

'Intuition' consists of the instrumental 'Zone 1',  'Blueprint', 'Paula's Dance' featuring Pahua, 'Blueprint' and the title track featuring Megatronic (who is soon to .
feature on Freerange Records - talk about timing).

The EP is crammed full of warm dancefloor sounds as Mexican singer Pahua adds her vocals to a 'tribute' to Larry Heard, ‘Zone 1’ its an ode to David Morales’ Red Zone 90s remix catalog with its deep acid synths and a Italo-piano-acid-jazz-gospel house party that's 'Blueprint'. 

But if you think vocoder vocals have had their day, you need to get under 'Sparky's Magic Piano' and the Grace Jones like spoken word walking groover on 'Intuition' that's way too good and way too short.

When you know that this was completed at the end of last year when JKriv was undergoing chemotherapy it's even more impressive and this will help a speedy recovery.
