Too Far (DLR Remix)

Introducing some fresh talent to the CIA catalogue, we welcome Kublai for his first release on the label – the eclectic ‘Free Flow EP’. 
True to his city, the Manchester based producer draw inspirations from a diverse palette and his EP is a testament to this, showcasing his sound via four tracks representing four different styes. 
After pushing things forward during lockdown with releases on Goldfat and Vandal (alongside fellow CIA artist Minor Forms), the ‘Free Flow EP’ marks the next development for Kublai; which, with the guidance and encouragement of Total Science, has led him to explore new avenues in DnB. 
“Initially I didn't plan this as an EP, but after writing a lot of liquid, I wanted to try my hand at some heavier sounds... I've just always wanted to make music that I love to hear, that's got soul; whether it be the heavier side of things or the more liquid side of things.” 
Setting things off is ‘Free Flow’ as Kublai experiments with different types of percussion, atop of uplifting pads and vocals. A driving bassline carries throughout, leading neatly into ‘Emerald Funk’, where some tech funk influences come into play on a darker stepper that’s seeping with groove. 
Switching the vibe again, even to his own surprise, ‘Revelation’ sees Kublai impressively exploring on a jungle tip for the first time, with rolling breaks, vocal cuts and switching bass, before completing the EP with the piano strewn, sultry sounds of ‘Young Soul’ – a full circle back to his soulful roots.

Next up to dine at the CIA top table is none other than The Infuriator himself, the infamous T>I. Making serious waves over the last few years to say the least, T>I has become a name synonymous with stripped back and minimal trickery and his ‘Locksmith EP’ brings that trademark Norwich Colmans ping as standard, getting you more than ready to lob your Fray Bentos Chicken & Mushroom across the front room. 

We probably all know that anger that comes when you have to call out ‘The Locksmith’. My guy’s going to sting you for a chunk of cash to drill out your front door. This could be the soundtrack to either the drilling or the murder style the track suggests. 

Sounding possibly repentant for lobbing that pie, but probably not, as they definitely deserved it, ‘Bongolian Belt Roller’ rolls and chugs it’s way alongside its classic soul sample. 

And pies are flying all over the shop with ‘Let It Go’, it’s classic breaks teamed with new school drums and whopping bass stabs. And it sure would be a totally ‘Valid Statement’ to say this EP’s gonna pop off; V style samples and knocking bass taking you to some sweaty underground Bristol rave in 2045. 

T>I brings a true four-course meal to CIA with his Locksmith EP – it’s chewy, not chalky.
