D-Node 152: Harvey McKay | Drumcode + Soma

DJ/producer Harvey McKay spent years in the Glasgow underground until he became known internationally for some explosive tracks.

Being situated in Sweden and having released two records, ASAYITA and GIZAW in 2011 on his own imprint, Abdulla Rashim Records, Abdulla keeps both his sound and himself below the surface." We're also allowed this visual to the left. Need we say more? His dark, psychedelic tracks have been making t...
