Moritz Graßinger and Martin Schneider, known collectively as KIDSØ, are renowned for the live aspect of their artistic blueprint, centering around synthesisers, drums, kalimbas and percussive instrumentality. With releases on esc/ctrl, Embassy Of Music, Springstoff, and several other well-respected imprints, the Munich-based duo now bring their undeniably unique sonic palate to The Gardens of Babylon. Joining KIDSØ across three awe-inspiring Deep House cuts on their collaborative 'What If I' EP is Swiss producer & singer-songwriter Natascha Polké, whose work is championed by the likes of Anjunadeep, This Never Happened, and Definition:Music, amongst others.

The first single to drop on the 13th January will be 'What if I'. A track that plunges you deep into a pool of emotive melodic components that orbit the first appearance of Natascha's sirenic vocals. Deftly driving drum grooves and a crisp percussive cadence steer the track forwards amidst a sea of modulating frequencies and sweeping introspective notes, resulting in a captivating opener. A truly special release to kick start the new year off for the artists and label.

Its soon followed by 'Seven Nations' released as a single on the 27th January. A head-turning sense of nostalgia with the uniquely re-sung rendition of The White Stripes' iconic hit. More delightfully deepened flavours are on offer here, with a pleasantly melancholic vibe born from endless layers of intricately woven chords and stabs. A truly standout record, it brings an extraordinary close to this complete masterclass from three of Europe's most talented electronic artists.

Finally, on February 10 we are closing out the whole EP with the track 'Bloom In The Cold', delivering harmony-rich electronic prowess from the outset. An enchanting vocal topliner adds a tangible personality to the track whilst its analogue-focused musicality runs masterful contrast of soft and gritty, carving out a touching ebb and flow from start to finish.
