BSC004: Polaris EP (OUT NOW)

Polaris

Kahter - Polaris EP SHOWREEL

The words 'No Entry' always seemed to have the adverse effect. For as long as they'd inhabited this space, those words had been emblazoned over the cellar. No one dared ask what lay beyond the padlocked door, though they'd come close on several occasions, but they couldn't quite get the words out. Some said they'd heard muffled screams coming from beneath the floorboards, others swore they'd seen people come and go in the dead of night, but these were all rumours... What really happened down in the basement nobody knew. 

Kahter returns to Basilica for his first solo release since contributing a track to the label's inaugural VA compilation a few years back. With EPs under his belt on Circular Jaw, Manuka and Swamp 81, Kahter now takes care of Basilica's fourth release, building on his exploration into heavy bass frequencies. Over the four tracks on Polaris, he shares the more hard-hitting side of his production, which also includes a collaboration with Infinite Machine producer Yilan that matches polyrhythmic drums with crisp percussion and driving subs.

PREMIERE: Kahter & Yilan - Rugs [Basilica]

The Polaris EP explores the heavier sound of Kahter's productions. Tell Me has spacious, rolling percussion with a slamming kick and deep bass.

OS Premiere: Kahter - Tell Me [Basilica]

Basilica’s fourth submission comes courtesy of one it’s earliest roster holders, the newest sculptor of the both historic and ever changing ‘Bristol Bass’ sound - Kahter.

Kahters sound has always been a juxtaposition between spacious subtlety combined and contrasted with huge drum presence and swollen bass. Making his early debuts on labels such as Glome Sound, Manuka, Circular Jaw and, most recently, his enormous Swamp 81 debut release, Kahter has consistently released club based beats that cut through a mix with laser precision. 

The Polaris EP explores the heavier hitting side of Kahters production, with huge and heavy impacting basses and kicks, a barrage of razor sharp hats and lasers brought together under a rolling bop of distant and textured ambiences and pads.

PREMIERE: Kahter - Outside Out [Basilica]

@WaltonMCR - Taiko EP (Clips)

A1 Tensions
A2 Taiko
B1 Black Hole
B2 Zen

Early support from Loefah, Paleman & Mary Anne Hobbs
Having made it into Mixmag’s Top 20 Labels of 2016 chart, Kaizen looks set to start 2017 with an almighty bang. 

The third release on Madam X’s burgeoning imprint comes from Manchester based Walton. After several releases via Kode9’s Hyperdub he released his debut album ‘Beyond’ to critical acclaim and once you add to that a trio of fine EPs on Tectonic, we see an artist with seemingly unlimited potential. 

Walton is no stranger when it comes to dark frequencies and the superb ‘Taiko’ EP takes influence from Far Eastern sounds with a wealth of space and subtle percussive grooves. 

The A-side features two fierce and stark club cuts, with ‘Tension’ setting the tone for the murkiness inside. You may recognise the track from Madam X’s wildly hyped Boiler Room set and it’s found it’s way into Loefah’s bag too. Title track ‘Taiko’ hinges on a groove that bounces and slams its way through the runtime with Mary Ann Hobbs a fan of “the dark, tribal textures”

On the flipside the pace is kept up with two more dense, atmospheric tracks, with ‘Black Hole’ employing a heavy set, feverish use of percussion and ‘Zen’ acting as a more cinematic cut, almost like a weightless, demonic lullaby.

The EP has been on the club circuit for at least a year before seeing release, but the wait is now over and it’s time for Madam X to take Kaizen to the next level. 

Out February 17
