This is the second EP of singles lifted from BK’s critically acclaimed ‘Under The Influence’ album and it’s an action-packed ace in the hole for discerning hard dance DJs, with no fewer than three new tracks all worthy of A side status.

Arguably pick of the bunch is ‘We Come Alive’ that sees BK reforming a hugely popular partnership with Nick Sentience that ignited the Nukleuz boom era many moons ago.

Needless to say that the spark is still there between this gifted duo and we’re treated to an inspiring fusion of harder edged styles as Nick’s psy trance bassline and fills are blended with BK’s rugged tech-edged rhythms.

It’s topped off with a crowd-hyping MC who gives the track a hardcore, almost old skool Prodigy vibe about it.

The next big hitter on this EP is a rare studio appearance from the world’s biggest hard dance DJ, Lisa Lashes, who partners with BK for some ‘New Age Rave’ and delivers a big, purposeful lead riff.

There’s also nagging stabs over power packed rhythms.

Ali Wilson completes the trio of collaborators on this release in the tech-edged ‘London Rock’ that eases back on the BPMs but features a big, buzzy electro lead to deliver a very in vogue sound.

Three dancefloor killers and no fillers.
