London outfit Kassian continue their broadly-evolving yet highly detailed journey through and beyond sound towards something ever more expansive. Their second release for !K7 Records comes in the wake of creating a dedicated hardware-forward studio in a Northeast London container complex, where they have the freedom to interlink their machines. This renewed focus brought them to Supercontinent EP, named for the ancient geological era when Africa and South America were joined as Pangea.

A reformulation of rhythmic ideas inspired by South African Amapiano and South American Baile Funk governs the two hemispheres of the record. The pair examine and deconstruct dancefloor material, eschewing 4/4 for interlocking shaker patterns, searing acid lines, cracking breakbeats, and vocal samples in Zulu and Brazil Portuguese.

The immediacy of the restless rhythm and bass-led funk of “Yena” forms a sweet spot where double-time and half-time can coexist. The word Yena translates to ‘he / him / man’, and the punchy male vocal loop punctuates the track’s deep swing, enhanced by amapiano log drums sped-up to a glassy pitch.

“Yami” (‘mine’ in Zulu) is a slinkier proposition which sheds prominent percussion in favour of a weighty, fluid, acid-informed bassline undulating from below. Contrasted against its jutting female vocals and sharp synth pads, the track cultivates dancefloor anticipation, accented by skittering percussion and time-stretched acid disintegration.

An ascending percussive riff marks the arrival of “Pulgueiro Baile”, followed closely by break beats and the nostalgia of distinctly British acid electro. While pulguero translates as ‘flea market’ there is nothing random to be found; it is an intentionally future-forward retelling of a vintage sound, replete with a mind-melt breakdown of rave pads.

A dubbed-out groove dominates the bottom-heavy “Sistema Baile”, established by a leading Roland System 1 synth line. It is a groovy, steady roller that chugs and propels and chugs with head-nod hypnotism through an intricately minimalistic approach.

PREMIERE: Kassian - Yena

We actually wanted to release this last year but hey some things need time. Ready for summer? Berlins Reggae Dub man Oliver Frost gives Jazzanova's track "What Do You Want" feat. Joe Dukie his dubby remix treatment. The orginal track was released on the Jazzanova album "Of All The Things" from 2008. Joe Dukie (Dallas Tamaira) is also known as the voice of our favorite band from New Zealand: Fat Freddy's Drop. Link: https://orcd.co/edajwa9

What Do You Want?

What Do You Want (Oliver Frost Remix) [feat. Joe Dukie]

Exploring the limits between UK Rave, Hardcore continuum, Bass Music and Jungle.Two sides, two artists each. On the A Side we have Denham Audio: the Sheffield Trio and Exploris, Durkle Disco and Nineteen Ninety Four affiliate debuts on BMRec with two post-rave tracks, “Lift Off” and “Who Started Jungle”, which will you remember the ol’good times. Dancefloor smashers, for sure!
The A Side is completed then by a remix of “Who Started Jungle” made by Coco Bryce: the legendary dutch producer twists the original vibes in a proper Modern Jungle anthem full of heavy basses, amen breaks and ambient landscapes. 

Then, on The B Side we’ve the pleasure to welcome Mani Festo: after releasing materials on Swamp81, Durkle Disco and Corrupt Data the London producer drops two tracks at high voltage, “All Potential Badboy” and “Ruffneck”.

Low frequencies, rave culture reminiscences: you’ll go crazy.
released November 29, 2018

Drawing from his wider music taste as well as club-rooted sounds, K-LONE journeys freely through hazy R&B, tinkering electronic warmth and ambient house.

The scientist's need to use apparently distant languages to successfully describe everyone's everyday material reality coincides here with the electronic musician's need to narrate through the beautiful journey of a digital composition…

LCAO (Linear Combination of Atomic Orbitals) is loosely inspired by the writer Primo Levi and, above all, by his work “The Periodic Table”.
