Following hot on the heels of strong, idiosyncratic releases from Raz Ohara and Einzelkind, Plan K’s Thunder EP is the latest offering from Get Physical’s experimental sister imprint, Kindisch. Plan K is Umberto Saba and David Love Calo, friends who learned the art of DJing in Italian clubs like Cocorico in Rimini and Firenze’s Tenax during the 1990s.

The EP closes with ‘Bid for Freedom’, another crackling broadcast of retro-futurist dancefloor funk.
