Khz Presents ‘Various Artists Vol.2’

We are back with the second edition of the Various Artist's series alongside 8 of our very own Aotearoa producers each bringing their own unique sound to the table.

Combining modern club & bass genres this compilation was born in balance between a twisted maze of rhythms, blending the underground’s secrets into a wise book of musical wisdom. Spanning over a range of sub-genres and sounds, KHZVA002 is curated to bring a listening experience like no other, by filtering through dubbed out soundscapes to dark, sub-heavy tones this VA is our most vibrant release to date.

Greedoe - Tattered & Torn (KHZVA002)

Reach for the geiger counter - Park End comes shelling in the direction of Sneaker Social Club with some plutonium-plated, 2-stepping swelterweight gear for the grubbiest of dancehalls. All we can ascertain about the shadowy figure on the buttons for this latest release is that they’re clearly schooled in the lineage of UK hardcore, pirate radio culture and the sympathetic tenets of UKG, jungle and dubstep.

Opening up the A side, ’Same Dream’ is a claustrophobic, gnarly creeper with razor-sharp snares, growling low end and enough heads-down malaise to turn the most blissful sunrise set ice-cold. ‘The Immortality Of The Crab’ pays tribute to the fine tradition of illegal radio broadcasting and its importance for the development of rave, leaning on a staggered, mucky garage beat that smacks hard just how we like it.

On the flip, Park End turns attention to the synergy between RnB and garage with a refix of BBL Sound’s ‘BBS’, pairing the sweetest vocal chops with plenty of bitter b-line pressure, while ‘Rekt’ draws on an unnamed voice for another fission between human sensitivity and mechanised intensity. This parting shot borders on anti-anthemic by the time it reaches its peak while holding true to the pitch-black vibe creeping out around the edges of this rough diamond of an EP.

As Dim Fumes, bass duo Thrived and score composer No Bloom Now come together to create an exquisite blend of club sound and pop-influenced storytelling.
With numerous releases on Voitax, Club Qu and others, Thrived have proven their ability to produce fresh yet seasoned tunes, making them an integral part of Berlin's underground scene for years. No Bloom Now's work as a composer for film, theatre and games over the past few years has given him experience in writing strong themes and emotionally complex melodies.

As a band, Dim Fumes bring together the vocal points of both projects to create danceable, melancholic melodies full of euphoria. No Bloom Now's intimate vocals take centre stage,
Thrived's dense drum aesthetic builds the fundament in which the three create a melange best described as ambient bass-pop.

Their very first single, Bright Spots, can be seen as a North Star for the sonic direction the three are heading. The gnarled yet clear drum work and angelic lead vocal feel like they are embedded in a sea of lush, warm pads and atmospheres, pulling you into deep excitement. The grip and pull of this poppy but underground track won't let you go until the very end, leaving you wanting to dive right back in. With bright spots, the trio prove their ability to grab attention in private, club and/or festival contexts, presenting a combination we'll hopefully see out and about soon. Keep an eye out: Dim Fumes!

Oh yes, it's always a great day when there's new Dunman music on the horizon. We've been treated to so many top-drawer, sick sneak-peeks recently, whether it's through tight-lipped teases on his socials or through outlets like his slick, 100% own productions mix (apart from primed cuts by Kozzie and Gallah) for the don Oblig on Rinse FM, there's a tonne of Dunman material still yet to come. Thankfully, we're getting a big ol' chunk of that here, and to maximum effect and ferocity. This time, he's linked up with 140 tastemakers Simply Deep for his debut on the acclaimed imprint, after memorable appearances on the likes of Southpoint, Siege Collective, In:flux, Reloaded and more, as well as his own, excelling esc_ imprint. We premiere the lead track from the project, a lick that clocks in at an aggressive 145pm and one that's already received support from Ternion Sound, providing a suave insight into Dunman's expert production. What a corker.
