Master Peace has released a second single with producer Dan Carey – listen to deep bass grooves of ‘Shake Me Down’ below.

The South East London artist recently announced that ‘Harley’, an indie sleaze-flavoured track, was to be released via Speedy Wunderground, the label run by the renowned alternative producer Carey (Wet Leg, Squid, Kae Tempest).

Now, Master Peace has shared the second half of that double A-side single in the form of ‘Shake Me Down’, a more expansive, indie dance track that writhes with wiry guitars and jumping synth lines.

The 7” single, released as part of the Speedy Single Series, is available to buy here, and you can listen to ‘Shake Me Down’ here:

Master Peace has had a number of standout moments in recent months, including guesting with Franz Ferdinand at Glastonbury on their collaboration ‘Hooked’ and appearing on the new AJ Tracey album ‘Don’t Die Before You’re Dead’.

Master Peace released his debut album ‘How To Make A Master Peace’ last year, earning an Ivor Novello Rising Star award. Since then, he has recorded the Franz Ferdinand collaboration, which was released on the Glasgow band’s album ‘The Human Fear’ earlier this year.

As he told NME backstage at Glastonbury, his guest spot on the Other Stage at this year’s festival came as a surprise even to him. “I’m just shocked that I’m sat here with Alex Kapranos and Peter Capaldi!” he said. “What the fuck? My street cred – everyone’s gotta talk to me nice after this. This is crazy.”

He also explained that he has been a fan of Franz Ferdinand for many years. “Big fan, from the get-go,” he said. “Even when I first started making indie music, I was like, ‘I wanna get in the studio and make something with Franz Ferdinand’. I just begged my manager.”

Last year, Master Peace told NME that he plans for his second album to be “wild”, saying he wanted to “go crazy” and explore the sound of indie sleaze much deeper. “I think to make a masterpiece you need to be authentically yourself and not caring too much about what people think too much,” he explained. “I’m bringing indie back, 100 per cent!”
