Benga / Fis T -Rhythm of the Night Hunter (L-VIS 1990 Edit)

Is anyone in France keyed into the sound of UK funky as sharply as Kaval? Sneaker sets out a strong case with this four-tracker of cool and deadly shufflers which take that insistent groove and give it a different lick.

Kaval has got plenty going on in Toulouse, where he’s riding the online airwaves with the Egregore Collective and got his name all over the Riddim Supplies series 12”s. Those with their sticky fingers on all the best bits of wax the past few years might have stumbled across those records in the racks. Elsewhere, he’s also locked in with the Ruff Club crew who are bringing the DIY free party vibe to Toulouse under railway lines, in abandoned buildings and anywhere they can sneak a genny, a system, some lights and a vibe. All this is to say Kaval is the real deal, doing things the proper way, and it shows in his tunes.

The cuts on this record are absolutely built for the dance, functional like a DJ record should be but not at the expense of the flair. ‘Combo II’ has fun slipping snatches of MCs around utopian synth licks, while ‘Pistolaser’ is spilling over with crafty micro edits and snappy samples that bring the limber groove to life. The crooked beat and rounded square wave bass is a given, and Kaval wields the rhythm section with poise, but it’s the playful energy he brings to the top end which really lifts his gear. It’s no wonder his tracks have been bumped by the likes of Nick Léon, perfectly bridging the gap from funky into the deft Latin-tinged zones explored by the Miami heavyweight.

It’s records like this that prove exploration of UK funky, like so many club genres, has so much more to give to the dance.

Cause nothing beats the energy of an intimate club! »

I’m excited to share my very first compilation, Intimate Club Vol. 1, coming out on December 6th!  

This 10 tracks collection will take you on a musical journey blending club, bass, breaks, global sounds, and even some emo vibes. It’s a mix that ranges from light, uplifting atmospheres to darker tones, all crafted to create a heartfelt and emotive experience.

The idea behind Intimate Club V/A Vol. 1 is to bring together all my inspirations in one space. By celebrating club culture and electronic music, I aim to break down the walls of purism and let everyone experience something truly authentic. This compilation honors human connections, the diversity of gender identities and cultural backgrounds in music. Each sound and rhythm enriche our musical landscape, offering unique perspectives and overflowing creativity.

You’ll discover tracks from amazing artists around the globe, including Neana, Gaszia, Lisa More, Miss Jay, Burna, a-rot, Cardozo, XQZ ME, Submarine FM, Girl Tool, Frog Chaser, and Casement. Each artist adds their unique flair, creating a diverse collection that looks towards the future.

Get ready to vibe!
