Assi - Diamond (Kamikaze Space Prgramme Dub)

Razor-sharp drum 'n' bass, cutting-edge jungle and extraterrestrial machine sounds.

Kamikaze Space Programme and Cocktail Party Effect step in with four meticulously designed mind-bending tracks, offering unbelievable exhibits of their dexterity in crafting futuristic jungle and razor-sharp drum ‘n’ bass.

Spiced up with a devastating array of extraterrestrial machine sounds and wicked sinister ambience, Food for Thought is for all those who continue to feed their minds with criticisms, refusing to adhere to a system that wants us technological adults but spiritual and emotional infants.

“...But you survived!” Cit.

Stobe The Hobo

Luke Slater’s Mote-Evolver reach the big 4-0 with the help of Chris Jarman, the commanding officer behind the Kamikaze Space Programme. Looking to redefine the concept of uncompromising from bass culture’s traditional Bristol HQ, ‘Concrete Musique’ is four tracks of loud, hard-nosed, techno-taunting speaker pressure.

Both ‘The Bailiff’ and ‘Network Rail’ power off boxy kick drums: such is their statement of intimidation, not much else is needed to accompany this campaign of haymaking through the arena.With percussion veering between tub-thumping and machine gunned tribalism, the pair set about a session of straight up and down ear-bashing. ‘The Bailiff’ carries the thinnest and daintiest of supernatural airs, while ‘Network Rail’ and its spearing loops demand to be housed in a hangar reaching breaking point.

Dancing on the live rail and taking a buzzsaw to its bottom end is the blackened electro breakbeat of ‘Radio’, laying down body-popping lino before the techno undertone turns it into a bed of nails. KSP’s palette is again sparse, watching the sparks fly while cowbells ring in the distance, making a date with the Deathstar for all poppers and lockers brave enough to face its wrath.

‘Death to the Valley’ is a versatile beast. Thanks to its explosive bass foundation, it can be found sweeping grime and trap before it, hanging out in the deepest techno recesses, and stomping its breakbeat feet. Another seethingly bare backdrop, punctuated by lab squiggles and signals vainly trying to keep a leash on the marauder it has let loose, means you should wear protection: contents are white hot.

The Bailiff (MOTE40)

Veteran Bristol-based producer Chris Jarman a.k.a. Kamikaze Space Programme joins the TRUST family with a blistering EP of hard-edged bass music. Hot on the heels of his 'Concrete Musique' EP for Luke Slater's Mote Evolver imprint, 'Stokes Croft' showcases the bassier side of Jarman's distinct production style.

'Stokes Croft' opens with none other than prolific Ninja Tune artist Emika as a guest, whose haunting vocals turn 'Choke' into an ear-catching hybrid of industrial bass electro and gothic pop. 'Clapper' follows this up with a percussive banger, perfectly encapsulating Jarman's artistic vision of crafting futuristic beats entirely from found and self-recorded sounds rather than worn and tired presets. It's a philosophy that does not rule out sublime melodic moments either, as 'Cel's drifting string and melancholic bleeps aptly demonstrate, while 'HSBC' closes the EP with a nod to the old-school, complementing jacking electro rhythms with squelchy acid lines and ghostly pads.

Released parallel to TRUST's three-part 15-year anniversary series, TRUST XV, Kamikaze Space Programme's 'Stokes Croft' represents the rougher side of the TRUST sound - head-strong, futuristic, and ready to obliterate stylistic stagnation with sonic innovation.

Emika - Battles (Kamikaze Space Programme Remix)

The track titles on Kamikaze Space Programme’s latest offering for Mote Evolver are taken from the chilling techno-criticism and dystopian visions of the late J.G. Ballard’s fiction, a thinker whose work has always lent itself well to music on the razor’s edge of modernity. Keep in mind, though, that this is no simple tribute to that mastermind of speculative fiction, but a translation of his highwire suspense and hyper-modern aesthetics into rhythmic and incisive electronic music.

The closing “Day of Creation” dials down the tempo, but certainly not the creativity and the drama, as deceptively delicate bell tones and tranquil synth pads compete with a uniquely springy industrial rhythm and floor-shaking low-end frequencies.

For those who are curious to hear the sounds of urban overload and dark dreams compressed into one coherent and captivating release, Kamikaze Space Programme has delivered in a big way with this EP. Fueled by the sensibility that the here-and-now is as strange and unpredictable as any science fiction, this music won’t disappoint anyone who still looks to techno as the music of new ideas.

Keep in mind, though, that this is no simple tribute to that mastermind of speculative fiction, but a translation of his highwire suspense and hyper-modern aesthetics into rhythmic and incisive electronic music.

“Concrete Island” maintains the intensity level and dense urban atmosphere of the A-side, pooling together numerous snatches of white noise, audio grit and alarm buzzes to form a demanding sound environment in which some distant ethereal touches are the only respite from the well-organized attack.

The leadoff track “High Rise” is an adrenalized and twitchy creation built around a shuddering bass riff and a cleverly corroded set of intense percussive hits, aided by elevator shaft ambience and what seem like eerily obscured vocal samples. In short, it’s the perfect backing music for a very cautious trudge through a tower block presided over by unnamed and ominous forces.

High Rise

On the remix tip, the one and only Kamikaze Space Programme coaxes sound into steel and concrete, as he reshapes the original into a frenetic, incessant electro roller with ample, DJ-friendly structure and frequent nods to techstep and neurofunk. Most notably, KSP subverts the original’s reese’s utility as mere textural and melodic backdrop – here, it takes center stage, carrying most of the bass weight, and morphing across the spectra in ways that are so novel they seem almost peerless. Indeed, as it seamlessly moves through warping metal, chthonic rumbling, bursts of white noise and everything in between, it all but unearths the brutalist underpinnings of “Sidewinder”.

Vanta Series is the new series for Killekill's dancefloor music. The releases come in series, every series comes with a theme and one artwork which is being split in several parts to go with each release. The first series is called "THE END IS NEAR" and features four records. It comes with an artwork by French visual artist Elzo Durt.

The second record is coming from KAMIKAZE SPACE PROGRAMME, who delivers three types of tracks:

Type 1 – a nervous piece of bells, percussion and bass 
Type 2 – a minimalistic techno night drive 
Type 3 – a spacious futuristic soundscape

Type 3 comes with a remix by JoeFarr, who added some drama to the original and therewith created a proper hit for the darker hours.

Type 3

Having already unleashed a considerable amount of collaborative magic with the "Planetary Funk: 22 Light Years" series of remix EPs, Luke Slater has now upped the ante with six full sides' worth of material, all of them injecting the spirit of classic P.A.S. into new sonic organisms. Using motifs from past P.A.S. successes, Luke Slater and his cohorts join here to make something radical and revitalizing: too cohesive for a "compilation album" and with too much autonomy granted to the guest remixers to be a simple "tribute," this new LP is the boldest statement in the series yet. 

KSP's version of "Function 6" gradually builds a cyborg leitmotif from an overdriven martial beat and epileptic machine breakdowns - a fascinating audio case study of perfect discipline disintegrating into something rather unexpected.

The third installment from this rapidly developing producer Factory Floor EP introduces a tougher, mechanical timbre; machine sounds echo noisily about a vast, rusted factory amidst KSP’s signature heavyweight bass and organic percussion, a combination that balances electronic with human appeal and dancefloor attraction.

Metallic clangs and steaming bursts of percussive noise feature strongly in Anvil and Cascade alongside tireless bass grooves. Further sonic destruction is found in the splintering shards of Green House; the sample source of all drum sounds in this track was smashing glass, this builds a unique and chaotic palette spliced with electric screams and pulsing sub. The final track Gears lives up to its name with pure kinetic energy; flexing metallic tones build an irresistible groove overlaid with superbly crafted beats.

Kamikaze Space Programme - Leyland Daf 45 (WNCL15) Out July 1st

If there’s an artist to successfully traverse the treacherous divide between drum and bass, breakbeat and techno it’s Christopher Jarman’s prevailing alias, Kamikaze Space Programme. With roots indebted to the music he released on labels like Renegade Hardware under his Raiden alias, his abstract, field recorded, industrial and broken admission into the annals of electronica has seen his music backed, supported and released by the heaviest of renowned labels - namely Luke Slater's Mote Evolver, Mord to Osiris Music, Mord and Mote Evolver, WNCL, to the freshly minted Eomac’s Eotrax and further afield on Trust via Kamikaze Space Programme’s electro-minded wares. 

Having proved himself a razor-sharp edge of meticulous drum and bass production when rising up through the ranks of the genre’s definitive platforms, Kamikaze Space Programme’s hybrid sound, has joined the dots through a constellation of labels inhibiting a grey zone between UK club music and steely brutalist industrial textures. 

An accomplished session musician and avid field recording artist, Jarman’s music by and large is made up of foley sound design and sonic experimentation using bespoke apparatus and homemade microphones. Capturing internal resonances and electromagnetic radiation of objects, re-amplified or organic, classic hardware dub mixing completes the Kamikaze Space Programme aesthetic. Having worked with BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Rotterdam’s Re:Vive initiative too, there’s no denying Jarman of his credentials, with his repute as a formidable DJ and live act backed by his place in heavy weight line ups across the globe, be they at Berghain, Kompass Klub or Dommune to performing at festivals like Atonal, Krake and Kiev’s Next Sound.

Other collaborative projects, furthermore, have found their way through Simon Shreeve (aka Mønic, of Downwards and Kryptic Minds fame) to his Osiris Musik collaboration with Adam Winchester (Appleblips) under the moniker, Dot Product. He’s also proved a deft hand in the remix by taking on productions by Planetary Assault Systems, Emika and The Exaltics to NY’s The Horrorist.

Encompassing the most brutal of industrial sound design alongside intrinsic field recordings and the sleeker, low tempos and frenetic energy of jungle, breakbeats and drum and bass, Jarman’s ability to maneuver between genre and style sees the music of Kamikaze Space Programme defy classification while spiralling from one nether-spectrum of sound to the next.
