The Endless Never

KESS15 'The Endless Never' by Adore

A fish dreams in a drum machine. Hidden Operator surfaces, soaked in fog and radio hiss. The fever escapes. Kontra-Musik and Kess Kill hold hands in a burning telephone booth—two labels dancing backwards through a mirror, cackling.

This is a record made of riddles and ruin. Dub coughs in the corner. Proto techno slips on oil. UK hardcore gurgles something unspeakable before melting into a slo-mo house groove with a hangover. Lo-fi? No-fi. High-why. Slightly wrong but utterly intentional.

Basslines stagger like drunks in a maze. Snares in existential crisis. Synths whispering conspiracy theories. This is an apparition. Half dungeon, half dancefloor, half pigeon coop.

Understanding is colonialism. Twitch instead.

KONTRAKESS01. Carved in vinyl. Released into the ether. Confuse your neighbours. Alarm your pets. Send postcards from the inside.

Artist: Vanligt Folk
Title: Hambo
Label: Kess Kill/Kontra-Musik
Catnr: KESS09/KM052
Format: 12" LP
Release: 24 sept 2018
Distributed by: Clone

What would have become of D.A.F. if they had been signed to Trojan instead of Mute back in the day? Add a good pinch of absurdism and social realism in the vein of prized film director Roy Andersson and Vanligt Folk might just be the answer. The Gothenburg group’s name can be translated to ’common people’ and they make use of primitive electronics, drums and skewed vocals - ranging from harsh social commentary to the purely nonsensical - to create their own
take on body music. ’Hambo’ is the name of a traditional Swedish folk dance that was highly popular among the common people at the turn of the last century. With this album, Vanligt Folk juxtaposes the working class dance phenomena of Hambo with modern day rave culture. This is done in the most blasphemous manner thinkable, as is the way of Vanligt Folk. Concepts like nationalism, race and tradition are all treated with the same merry lack of reverence. The only thing that needs to be respected is The Dance and those who take part in it, whether
accompanied by accordions or drum machines. Or both. 
This album is a collaboration between Kontra-Musik and DJ veteran Rivet’s label Kess Kill.

Title: ALLT E’NTE
Label: Kess Kill/Kontra-Musik
Catnr: KESS12/KM056
Format: 12" LP
Release: 23 mar 2020
Distributed by: Clone

"ALLT E'NTE" IS A REACTION TO THE EMERGING EXPECTATION ON POLITICISATION OF MUSIC. A RESPONSE TO THE DEMAND AND IMPLICIT CONDITION TO BE CURRENT, RELEVANT AND TAKE A STAND. ALLT ’ENTE REPUDIATES ALL RESPONSIBILITY, CONVEYS HARDLY ANYTHING, BUT HOPEFULLY OCCUPIES SPACE. ALLT E'NTE CELEBRATES SYNTHESIS AND REJECTS BINARIES. OUR HOPE IS THAT ALLT E'NTE IS AS OUT-OF-DATE IN 200 YEARS AS IT IS TODAY. NO NEED TO POINT OUT THE PARADOX."
