PREMIERE: Shaka - Four Flowers [Quintessentials]

quintessentials 86: shaka - i can take that

Cologne’s resident conjurer Hodini steps up for his second solo EP on WOLF Music Recordings. Bringing elements from his hip hop background into this unique five tracker, Hodini dusts off long forgotten cuts, sampled with that MPC chopped graininess, blending lo-fi vocal sound bites with deft jazz loops, all adding a distinct, textured edge to his work.

‘Velved Groove’ and ‘Special Shoutout’ kick things off, snapping in funk fills and skipping guitar riffs behind a concoction of hazy spirals that transfix from the off. The former is an uptempo, twisted, jazz club house jam and the latter a bubbling voyage through the afterhours, bourbons flowing and faces flying from every corner.

A master of misdirection, Hodini also moonlights as one of Germany’s leading underground hip hop producers HulkHodn, proving he can flip styles and meld genres with ease. Featuring his alter ego, ‘Doggo Content’ is his nod to this - a crackling slo-mo trip through the intoxicated mind, soundtracked by stretched vocal snippets, wading bass notes and a crunching snare. 

Two of the harder-hitting club tracks close out the EP, both focused around hypnotic bassline carousels and looping layers. ‘Where’s The Wine’ interjects Rhodes flickers with bongo rhythms and unsettling laughes, as ‘One4Fries’ marries off-kilter, piano stabs alongside jazzy flourishes and fizzing percussion.

For those keeping watch, Melbourne-based producer Cassettes for Kids has steadily been making a name for himself in the underground house scene the past couple of years. Having already released records on labels such as Feedasoul, Moment Cinetique, and Haws, the young artist has decided to make his debut on Swedish imprint Honey Butter Records with a new 4-track EP!

Titled "Rest/Relief," this record exemplifies the ethos of the Cassettes for Kids project itself - which often sees the DJ combining unadulterated house with soulful bits and rhythms that make his sound both accessible and remarkably lethal on the dancefloor. Take the lead track for instance. From the jump, Cassettes for Kids sets the tone with a hard-hitting assortment of hi-hats and breaks. However, to make the intensity slightly more palatable, he masterfully loops in a soothing array of R&B vocals and jazz-laden melodies to balance things out. This gives his listeners something to hold onto while their bodies become overwhelmed with the insatiable urge to groove. In 'Growing Frustration,' Cassettes for Kids continues to show that he's quite talented at performing this sort of balancing act. Throughout the piece, the producer chooses to combine traditional elements of peak-time house with an angelic array of otherworldly synths that pierce the ear and manage to make a 130 bpm tune sound almost tranquil. Not an easy feat to say the least. 

The B-side of "Rest/Relief" acts as a much-needed respite from the high-energy exuded in its first half. Leading the way is arguably our favorite tune from the EP 'You're Leaving But I'll Still Love You.' Here, we see a different side of Cassettes for Kids - one that is noticeably more sentimental and pop-oriented in its aesthetic. A true love song at the end of the day, there is a lot to like here. From it's sullen, downtrodden synths that resemble the moans of someone with a broken heart, to the mesmerizing vocals in its chorus, 'You're Leaving But I'll Still Love You' is easily the catchiest tune we've heard from Cassettes for Kids yet and something repeat buttons were made for.

If this wasn't enough, Finland's finest Saine rounds out the record with his own rework of Cassettes' tasty, original. Honestly, what more can one want from a release?

"Rest/Relief" is set to hit stores on September 18th. Use the link above to pre-order.
