Every week, we bring you a must-hear track from the Le Guess Who? 2018 line-up. This week, it's one of Chicago’s finest producers and "the unsung godfather" of footwork RP Boo, who – once again – delivers cutting edge beats which float between abstraction and precision.
Delivering groundbreaking work in the Chicago footwork scene for several decades already, RP Boo's approach is still as innovative as ever. The footwork pioneer recently released his new album 'I’ll Tell You What!' via iconic electronic music label Planet Mu.
'Back From The Future, which was the first single to emerge from the record, starts off as a dark, noise-infested track, but quickly shifts pace when the industrial synth tones move to the background and shuffling beats take over. To complement the acrobatic drum lines and droning synthesizers, RP Boo adds some brisk, hushed vocals; bringing back some infectious footwork from the future. Listen in below:
