03. Stave 'Relearn/Forget' (Karkossyn Subject 1 Mix)

05. Stave ‘Relearn/Forget’ (Karkossyn Subject 2 Mix)

Standards & Practices is thrilled to announce an exciting new release from veteran producer and label owner Jonathan Krohn, otherwise known as Stave, and Bristol-based producer Tavis Hitchcock, who writes and releases music under the name Karkossyn. Karkossyn's superb debut EP ("Troubled Youth") for the like-minded and consistently excellent UVB-76 imprint led to a conversation about a possible collaboration, which has resulted in "New Values" - a 12-track split cassette which highlights and showcases both artists approaches to blackened, scorched-earth electronics.

Stave's contribution is a solid summation of his craft and acts as a potent reminder of his range and abilities as a producer: from the cacophonous, arrhythmic "62523" to the simmering, coiled tension of "Relearn / Forget", there's ample evidence here of an artist operating at the height of his powers; the expansive, surprisingly moving "Rolyy" ends the first half on a powerfully lyrical note.

On the flip side, Karkossyn begins with the bleak atmospherics of "Hidden Heart", which soon gives way to "Break The Fall", a heavy dose of Scorn-esque breakbeat-driven bass weight. "For The Floor" ratchets up the tension to an almost unbearable degree, and the droning, cinematic ambience of "Memento" and the dense, pulverizing "Ruins" finishes the split EP in an elegantly brutal fashion.

𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒆: POD - Horizon [KV005]

The fifth installment on Kinetic Vision is a solo EP by POD in a similar vein to the much lauded
SQZR EP by POD and Edward Richards. The release explores the territory between Hypnotic
Techno, Jungle and Dubstep.
POD leans into deep Techno sound design with syncopated rhythms overlaid with psychedelic
textures. The EP starts off with a slower tempo before moving into the faster Dubstep and
Jungle BPM’s. The unifying flavour throughout is a dreamy and dub like half time feel with an
emphasis on hardware drum and synth recording. Breaks and other samples are used more
sparingly.

We’re excited to welcome Reeko back to Samurai Music to follow up his perfect debut EP for us ‘Confront The Serpent’. The new EP is a deeper collection of tunes, with its narrative based on the gift of living in the moment

“The future doesn’t exist, there is only the present, from there everyone co-creates their reality which becomes what we call “future” but the possibilities in the present moment are infinite” Reeko

About this release:
Standards & Practices is proud to present "Stave Interpretations” — remixes of original material by Stave @stavesoundsystem, featuring Israel Vines @israel-vines, Patrick Russell @ptrckrssll, Ken Meier @ken-meier, Karkossyn @karkossyn, and YŌKA @yokatechno.

The first interpretation comes courtesy of Patrick Russell — who, in addition to being a visionary DJ, has proven himself to be a terrific remixer and producer in his own right — contributes a version of "Drum Four" that is arguably one of his best to date: a sinuous, grimy excursion into unknown waters brimming with atmosphere and menace.

Following Russell, Krohn himself brings us a disintegrated, alternative take on "Drum Three."

Karkossyn, aka Bristol native Tavis Hitchcock, is easily one of the most thrilling discoveries we've made as of late. His split EP with Stave ("New Values" on S&P) is only his second release to date, and both devastating interpretations of “Relearn/Forget” on display here, two juddering, broken beat behemoths, hint at even greater things to come.

Newcomers YŌKA contribute a suitably monstrous, industrial-tinged version of "Drum Two."

Veteran DJ and producer Israel Vines, who recently released a pair of brilliant EPs on Tresor — including a superb collaboration with Camille Altay as CAIV — uses a fast-paced, halftime approach to rethink “005", full of energy and an almost unbearable, nerve-jangling tension.

And finally, S&P co-founder Ken Meier, who recently completed a triumphant solo venture on our sublabel Double Standards ("Imitable Behaviors”), delivers an 85 bpm version of “002" that turns the original on its ear — all terse, clipped sonics, stripped to the bone with lush pads that add cinematic sweep and grandeur.
