Banlieue enters 2022 with a bang courtesy of Mortimer Dubaton’s Athens VS Predator EP. Behind this monicker is Louis De La Gorce, an Athens-based French producer, notorious for his duo The Pilotwings and his solo project Eiger Drums Propaganda.

De La Gorce’s well-documented jocularity seeps through this release, right from its title to the track names and actual productions. This idea is approached through another angle with NEED FOR SPEED, a tune where car-related sounds are brilliantly used by the producer. Layering samples and building a tribal groove sprinkled with chopped up breaks, thick low-end bass, and a zest of vocal samples, this mutant track fit for a car chase in the eponymous video game finds its influence in modern hip hop vibes, but the spirit of rave music is never too far. The result is playful, forwarding thinking bass music that will elicit a response from listeners and dancers without fail.parallels with hard drum purveyors.

For the first release of 2023, @kindergartenrecords is thrilled to welcome to the label one of the most exciting young producers around. @tomsobolikmusic’s cuts on early reflex, Cloudcore, Woozy, and Martyn’s 3024 label gathered widespread respect in a short time. Focusing on rhythmic play and an embrace of freneticism, their release feels like classic Kindergarten, a hailstorm of maximalist invention wrought from the tumultuous highs and lows of the artist's first full year living in New York after lockdown.
