Deep Relaxation

NEED TO KNOW

[日本語は下記]
For our 17th release, House Not House bring you something seriously darkside from one of our absolute favourite producers in UK house - ravers, from KG3 it’s the Amnesty EP.

KG3 is best known as one the founding members and leading producers on London’s Strange Static label where he’s been pushing a unique and deadly take on deep tech since 2013. Fusing moody atmospherics with a rave-destorying sensibility, the sound is unmistakably made-in-London and his EP with us bares all the hallmarks of the drum and bass, garage and grime music he grew up listening to.

Title track ‘Amnesty’ is a darkside stomper aimed straight at the dancefloor. Centred around a sample of a police announcing a public safety initiative, the sample is mischievously flipped to chilling effect with the emphasis on how ‘it’s frightening to think what could be on our streets’… Musically too, the tune’s dark to its core, with a jittery half-step rhythm and a massive and squelchy bassline oozing with echo. Not for the easily scared.

On the second track KG3 comes altogether more techy with ‘Let Go’. A space-aged roller, the track builds up around an arpeggiated synth-line and hypnotically swirling pads before dropping into cavernous one-note bassline replete with alien bleeps and sweeps. The tune picks up even more energy when the whip-lash open high hat comes in, creating a groovy swing perfect for the shape-cutting massive. Then on the second build, things get spacey as it cuts back to just the spine-tingling synths and then the thudding kick drum, creating an eery energy before the second drop. 

Finally KG3 brings the swing with the high octane ‘Krazy’. The most upbeat track of the bunch, but still strange and alien, the drums skip along with an old-skool garage infliction while the bassline competes with the fluttering acid synth and the cold-blooded Predator sample - ’ this is not about money… it’s about power’ - creating a vibe both spooky and bouncy. Something different!

If you’re talking about the darker side of UK house, then KG3’s one of the dons. When we first started talking about working together, we were hoping he’d cook us up some fire and our man did not disappoint. Handle this one with caution!

House Not Houseが長い間憧れてきたトラックメーカーKG3からダークサイド極まるEPをHNH0017にてリリース。

KG3はロンドンにて活躍するレーベルStrange Staticの共同創設者であり、同レーベルのスタートラックメーカーとして知られている。2013からダンスフロアー向けの極端にダーク、ユニークなスタイルを磨いてきた。ロンドン郊外の深夜を連想させる陰気な音景に、軍隊行進曲のようなドラムトラックとダンスフロアーを揺るがせるディープなベース：KG3の作る音は最先端でありながらDrum'n'BassやGrimeなどの影響が強く伝わる。

火器大赦のアナウンスをサンプリングするタイトルトラック「Amnesty」は悪意に満ちている。スイングのかかったハーフステップリズムとベースラインのエコーが絡み合い展開する。

「Let Go」は彼ならではのアープシンセのモーチフに、飛び回るパッドシンセや飛び散る宇宙的効果音。太いワンショットベースラインとトラップ系ハイハットを加えることで、Shuffler向けのグルーブが完成。ビルドは、鳴り響くシンセやディープなキックだけ残し、徐々ましてくる緊張感が極に達すると、ベースがすごい勢いで戻り、セコンドドロップで再びぶっ飛ばす。

このEPでは最もアップビートな「Krazy」はオールドスクールGarageっぽいリズムに、アシッドシンセと重いベースラインから成り立つ。しかしこのアンセムを完成させる最後の一仕上げはPredatorのサンプル：「お金ではなく、威力だ！」。

UK Houseのダークサイドときたら、KG3は屈指のトラックメーカーに違いない。危険物なので、要注意
