London outfit Kassian continue their broadly-evolving yet highly detailed journey through and beyond sound towards something ever more expansive. Their second release for !K7 Records comes in the wake of creating a dedicated hardware-forward studio in a Northeast London container complex, where they have the freedom to interlink their machines. This renewed focus brought them to Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

The immediacy of the restless rhythm and bass-led funk of “Yena” forms a sweet spot where double-time and half-time can coexist. The word Yena translates to ‘he / him / man’, and the punchy male vocal loop punctuates the track’s deep swing, enhanced by amapiano log drums sped-up to a glassy pitch.

“Yami” (‘mine’ in Zulu) is a slinkier proposition which sheds prominent percussion in favour of a weighty, fluid, acid-informed bassline undulating from below. Contrasted against its jutting female vocals and sharp synth pads, the track cultivates dancefloor anticipation, accented by skittering percussion and time-stretched acid disintegration.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

A dubbed-out groove dominates the bottom-heavy “Sistema Baile”, established by a leading Roland System 1 synth line. It is a groovy, steady roller that chugs and propels and chugs with head-nod hypnotism through an intricately minimalistic approach.

XO-5 – Summer Love [clipp.art]

Отправляемся в лесной трип вместе с Makabr под часовой микс полностью состоящий из его 16-ти треков.

Makabr — диджей и саунд-артист с корнями с Дальнего Востока, где началась его карьера и первые выступления. В треках его авторства можно услышать трансовые гармоники, переплетающиеся витееватыми трайбл-ритмиками с брейкбитом, необычными экспериментами и ритуальными вокальными вставками.

ALLOY is a DJ, music producer, and event curator, as well as a resident of the Moscow collective KISLO.

with five years of experience and an extensive touring geography, Sasha has arrived at a clear sense of her own sound. today, she no longer views music through the prism of genres: her sets and tracks are born from fleeting moments of the “here and now,” unfolding as cohesive, living stories.

for her, versatility is more than just a stylistic choice — it is a path of growth, where the listener evolves alongside the artist.

this mix is built on basslines, pulsing percussion, and wild sonic textures — like a soundtrack to a solitary walk through an autumn forest. that is exactly the mood I find myself in now.

ALLOY — диджей, музыкальный продюсер и организатор, резидентка московского объединения KISLO.

пять лет опыта и широкая география выступлений привели Сашу к чёткому пониманию собственного стиля. сегодня она перестала воспринимать музыку через призму жанров: её сеты и треки рождаются из мгновений, звучащих «здесь и сейчас», и складываются в цельные живые истории. 

для неё многожанровость — это не просто стиль, а путь роста, в котором вместе с артистом меняется и слушатель.

микс построен на басах, пульсирующей перкуссии и безумных звуках — он звучит как саундтрек к одинокой прогулке по осеннему лесу, сейчас я именно в этом настроении.

KISLO DANCE! 27: ALLOY

UPDATE august 2019:

Pleased to say the repress of BA050 will be hitting stores soon. The first in the Transhumanism series went down a storm and has been out of stock for ages. The original pressing was on orange vinyl. This time it’s on black with an orange sticker to match the second in the series and the 3rd which will be released in September.

There are no plans to sell this on Bandcamp. So check the decent stores out there - some taking preorders already.

This one has been spun by Dave Clarke, Helena Hauff, Stingray and Juan Atkins - and many more.
