Crash Test

We are happy to welcome Canadian producer So Durand to the Choki Biki Family! The Ottawa native has supplied us with a 4 track EP comprised of Breakbeat, Jungle and Rave sounds that ends with an epic half-time Bonobo-esque masterpiece.

‘This Unruly Kingdom’ is the perfect transitional tool for both your Breaks and Drum & Bass DJ, blending the two genres together and sitting at around 160bpm.

The opening track Disons Que is reminiscent of early liquid Drum & Bass producers such as Bailey, Artificial Intelligence and Squarepusher. It combines melodic sounds with a deep bass and relentless breakbeat!

Following up is Take Me Back There, an early 90’s sounding Rave track with it’s Piano Stabs, Amen Breaks, Dub samples and 4 to the Floor drop.

Next is the titular TUK (This Unruly Kingdom). TUK is definitely one for the Drum & Bass and Jungle heads. So Durand’s North American heritage comes through clearly here with his use of high pitch vocal samples. However, it’s heavy Drum & Bass drop would definitely be heard in a Bristol basement.

Finally, So Durand ends his EP with LIES, an atmospheric hip-hop style track similar to acts such as Hudson Mohawk, Kanye West, Bonobo or Clap! Clap! thanks to his use of brass samples, broken vocal stings and wonky percussion. Wait for the second drop on this before you write this piece of genius off.

This Unruly Kingdom is out on Choki Biki Records on the 18th of February.

This Unruly Kingdom

PREMIERE : So Durand - Disons Que

Just Saw Johnny

Pedal to the metal, he raced down the street, gathering as much speed as he possibly could. Why did he leave it to last minute? He'd had so many opportunities to tell her how he really felt and so far he'd scuppered them all. This was his last chance, he'd already heard from friends about her plans to embark on a new chapter, but he hoped that he could be part of that. Pulling up to her place, he noticed the darkened windows and the empty driveway, was it too little too late? All the signs pointed to one answer: she'd already left.

We always admire the passion and determination that goes into label work, even more so when that hard work translates to a huge milestone. Dutch imprint Atomnation have reached their 100th release, and to commemorate the occasion they've invited London-based producers Blomfelt & Narby to take charge with what marks the pair's debut album. Though both grew up in Switzerland, they met on the dance floor of Peckham pool hall Canavans whilst studying at university, and quickly found common ground in their love of electronic music. 

Fast-forward a few years and, after moving in together and visiting Blomfelt's birthplace of Finland, they began embarking on a musical path together. Some of the tracks written during that visit to Finland are housed on this immersive LP, Peter, Barbara, Beth & Friends, which draws from electronica, breakbeat, garage and ambient, marrying synthetic and organic sounds with field recordings, intricate, skittering drums and celestial pads.

PREMIERE: Blomfelt & Narby - Barbara Just Left [Atomnation]
