Houndstooth

Houndstooth is a UK independent record label that has been making waves in the music industry since 2013. Based at fabric EC1 in East London, this label is known for its innovative and diverse range of artists and performers. The label is run by *a2554693*, who is also responsible for the popular *l229559* podcast series, as well as *Rob Butterworth*, who curates the fabric and FABRICLIVE mix series. With their finger on the pulse of cutting-edge music, Houndstooth continues to push boundaries and deliver groundbreaking sounds to music lovers worldwide.

The Keep is the solo project of Gothenburg-based Oliver Knowles, who combines his Indonesian heritage with a love for drones. Primer is a collection of drones, noise and rhythms influenced by the vibrancy and excitement of Spanish and Catalonian street festivals that take place in Barcelona each year, where the record was written.

Although the tracks on the release are instrumental, Knowles as a means to express intense personal feelings of anxiety or sadness created them. He used the tracks on Primer to manifest these ideas in a positive way, allowing a sort of personal catharsis. Born in Singapore, Knowles then lived in Indonesia until he was six and pays heritage to his Indonesian heritage on this EP by using samples of traditional Indonesian instruments, including a small Indonesian hand drum that his mother gave him years ago.
