It’s all too easy to say that an artist has created a ‘soundscape’, when the label can often function as simple shorthand for ‘disjointed’ or ‘aimless’. There’s no worry of the term being misused with regard to NYC electronic duo Gatekeeper, however – when they set their hearts upon creating soundscapes, they really create soundscapes. Aaron David Ross and Matthew Arkell have an innate ability to mould noises and genres to their whim – be it big beat, acid house, experimental electronica or just full-on hands in the air DANCE.

That’s why – with the weekend just peeking round the corner like a tantalizing burlesque tease – it couldn’t be a better time to strap on some headphones and check these guys out. Their brand new album ‘Exo’ – due for release next Tuesday, the 17th July – fuses together the best of both worlds, enjoying both the accolade of being a genuinely innovative and bold musical odyssey and also the honor of being one of the best party records of the year so far.

Don’t believe us? Just check out the stream below for proof. Yep – that’s ‘Exo’ in its entirety, available for you to check out in advance. If you’re an electro-head, you’re gonna love this one …
