Kevin McHugh gets 2017 started on the front foot after a busy 2016 that included Ambivalent singles for Cocoon, Kompakt and Ovum, plus a collaboration with Matrixxman on the first in Valence’s Multivalence V/A 12″ series, which also featured contributions from Avalon Emerson and Physical Therapy.

Meanwhile, under his LA-4A alias, McHugh still managed to find time for a debut album on his Delft label, an EP for Unknown To The Unknown and a Sepalcure remix for Hotflush.

VAL 007 is comprised of two Detroit-influenced techno cuts with the subtle melodic touch of the genre’s heyday, packed with a remix from Skudge which fashions ‘Cyclone’ into a dubbed-out roller.
