NYC producer Slam Skillet first appeared on our radar late last month, when the budding talent offered up his club-minded “Impala” production for free download. Now, Slam Skillet returns to XLR8R with “Keratin,” a sci-fi cut from his upcoming Linear Motif EP (artwork above), which drops on July 28 via the Ounce. digital label. Bolstered by space-age percussion, “Keratin” offers a bevy of futuristic synth tones, which come lined with just a touch of funk, helping the tune find an intriguing balance between dancefloor readiness and adventurous sonic exploration.
