EA Review: Levrige - Sickness EP [CKRA031]

Read Full Review: Levrige return to Chikara in effortless style with their second EP for the label, “Sickness”. 

The EP fuses the duo’s influences of footwork, dub and old-school drum & bass, all wrapped up with the undeniably tight, modern production that Levrige have been recognized for. From the choppy swagger of the title track, the pulsing sub drops and perfectly distorted 808’s of “Snapback”, and the off-kilter beat skips of “Think You Are”, the EP marks another solid gem from the Vancouver Island-based pair in the Chikara back catalogue. We even recruited the remixing skills of wonderboy @captivatebeats to flip the title track into an angry, halftime monster that has been doing the rounds in clubs from here to the States.

FKOF Promo!

2023 marks FKOF Records’ 10th year as an imprint, and we’re pretty proud of our track record over the last decade. We’ve seen some of 140bpm’s rising stars – Chokez, Argo, Causa, Kodama, Ourman, 11th Hour, WZ to name a few – announce their talents to the genre and then go on to establish themselves as world-recognised talent. Not to rest (too much) on our laurels, but we think the artist behind FKOFd059’s EP might just follow that trajectory…

FKOFd059 is available to pre-order and drops via our bandcamp 02/12/22. It's then available at Beatport the Friday after, and on general release two weeks after that.

1. Darkai - Ox
2. Darkai - Deus
3. Darkai - Danger
4. Darkai - Swamps
5. Darkai - Loud Voices [FKOFd059 Free Download]

‘If you’ve caught the FKOF Sessions show on SWU FM (RIP) or Subtle Radio throughout 2022, you’ll have heard a track played on an almost month basis. For those that know their classical music, you’ll maybe have recognised a nifty flip of Allegri’s 'Miserere' – taking the goosebump-inducing material down a darker path. The genius behind that tune, 'Deus', is Matt Darkai. At this point, we can’t not give uncle N-Type a shout out, because it was through Wheel & Deal and Darkai’s 'Immortal' EP we discovered Matt’s talents. We talked tunes at the start of this year, Matt sent us some dubs, and the rest is history. 

‘FKOFd059 kicks off with 'Ox' (suitably visualised on the EP cover by the wonderful Lal Yetki), all cavernous atmospherics and sub pressure. The second inclusion is the aforementioned 'Deus', which you’ll either have heard already or you’ll very quickly understand why it’s one of this year’s tunes for us. Next up we have the suitably-named 'Danger', all wobbly synths and main-room 2am madness. It’s a lot. Last, but definitely not least, we end with 'Swamps'. It settles things down into a deeper groove, all growls and crisp percussion. The second drop’s a lot, as well. To round things out, because it’s the end of the year and we like celebrating, we’ve also included a FKOF Free Download alongside the EP – Matt’s 'Loud Voices' bootleg, reworking another classic with his signature brooding twist.  

‘We think Matt Darkai’s a perfect addition to the FKOF Records family and sound –  beats, bass and space through and through. He’s released on a bunch of decent labels to date, so we’re delighted to welcome him to ours, and we know this track record will continue. Watch this space.’

CDMUSIC009 - the next instalment in our electro VA series.

This eclectic collection of tracks showcases the talents of both emerging and established artists, drawing heavy inspiration from the legendary Detroit and Chicago electro scenes.

Our previous release was designed around peak time music and this new pack lends itself to the more experimental and heady side of the genre. If CDMUSIC008 was the party, this is the after-party.

CDMUSIC009 captures the pulsating energy and innovative soundscapes that have defined the genre for decades. Each artist on the compilation brings their unique perspective, blending classic electro elements with contemporary production techniques to create a sonic experience that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

With tracks by Greazus, Footclan, label boss Sharkki and a handful of new comers, listeners can expect a journey through the rich tapestry of Detroit & Chicago electro history, paying tribute to the visionaries who paved the way while introducing exciting new voices to the genre.

@captivatebeats

After spending the better part of a decade honing in on his sound, the veil is slowly peeling back on a very crafty beat-smith. 

Trained in the deadly arts of sound design and engineering, the young man known as Captivate delivers an uncompromising body of work in the form of this debut EP “Kailash” on Deviant Audio. 

Taking a beautiful approach to space and time, Captivate opens the listener up to a world of matte-glamorous half-time jungle with nods to the roots as well as a piercing glare into the future... 

If you’re still reading this, it’s not too late; turn this EP on and feel it for yourself. The future is now and Captivate has just delivered it to us all on an intangible yet visceral platter, get it.

Title Track available now with preorder on Bandcamp.
