Off World Synthetics [12" Ep]

Mike Shannon - Off World Synthetics [12" Ep]

Canadian DJ and producer Mike Shannon kicks off the year on Radio Slave's Rekids with the 'Off World Synthetics' EP, marking his first appearance on the label since 2023's 'Shadow Moves' for sub-label RSPX. A long-standing force in Minimal and House with a discography stretching two decades, collaborations on Richie Hawtin's Plus 8, and his own Cynosure and Haunt Recordings labels, Shannon has carved out a reputation as a respected staple in the booth and the studio.
Inspired by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Mobius' "INCAL" graphic novels, Mike Shannon's 'Off World Synthetics' EP opens with 'Synthetic Salsateca', where a static groove drives a playful, squelching synthline. 'Back To The Hood' follows with rattling, mechanical energy before the fl ip reveals 'Off World Sparkle', its wonky sequences bending around rubbery low-end. Closing cut 'Only Noodles' pushes deeper into warped clicks, scratches, and subtly shifting textures, rounding off an EP that's raw, restrained, and devastating in the right hands and on the right system.
