chaos in the CBD

Amadeus sees it’s catalog graced yet again by New Zealand outfit Chaos In The CBD. The kiwi brothers, birthed Ben & Louis Helliker-Hales, are no new faces to the label, or the wide variety of genre-bending acronyms they encompass. Having recently relocated from tropical Auckland to damp London earlier this year, the two take their productions along with them in their latest efforts, 816 To Nunhead.

Title track and aside, “816 To Nunhead,” is tinged with what’s left of summer. A nostalgic tune built for the sun and soaked in funk. It’s a track reminiscent of early french disco, almost as if built for the two robots themselves. Guitar plucks and hi hats flow seamlessly throughout the tune, aided by a glorifying vocal, “I would like to think of my music as just an extension, an extension of me of today or whatever.” 

What emotion of freedom and escape evoked on the Aside can be contrasted on the flip, “78 To Stanley Bay,” a tune built behind the ever looming theme of loneliness. Accompanied by a live trumpet courtesy of Isaac Aesili, ’78 To Stanley Bay’ tells us a story, or rather a journey, built behind dirty hats and delayed keys. This is a track fashioned for everywhere but the club, and we absolutely love that.

 Rhythm Section International proudly presents it’s 8th offering from local boys Chaos in the CBD. Born in New Zealand, but based in Peckham for the last few years (literally just around the corner from Henry Wu and Bradley Zero), these brothers have made a real mark on the scene here in London town and with their latest set of productions are set to take this message further afield. 
Having already released internationally on labels such as ClekClekBoom (Paris), Hot Haus (London) and Amadeus (Montreal), the duo’s approach to production has matured immeasurably in the last year, as is evident in the restrained potency and poetic subtlety on the 4 tracks across this accomplished EP, Midnight in Peckham. 
Taking it’s title from the locale the boys have come to know as home, the record channels a delicate late night energy - equally indebted to the hypnotic incantations of Ron Trent as it is to the hazy suburban atmospheres of Burial. These 4 classic cuts pay homage to deep house in it’s truest sense - at once sublime, melancholy and meditative . Chaos in the CBD have clearly taken their cue from the mid-west masters of the genre but have not been afraid to let their own influences and environ creep in, and in doing so have created something that is unmistakablely London and infact, timeless.

L.G.F.U. (Chaos In The CBD Remix)

It was the stark silence that jolted me into consciousness. Reality had been screaming at me, her voice drowned out by the choir of chaos emitted from the city. From the depths, it’s impossible to discern the screams of pain from the shrieks of delight. Even after lockout, the city makes itself heard, speaking with the distant sirens and sound of money changing hands. 

My forehead collided with the dash board before I heard the tires screech. In an instant, my brain-waves expanded outwards with the energy of a universe rushing into existence. I was awake.

Deep Within

Hearts On Fire

Acaddamy & Double Agent (ft. Quails) - Hearts On Fire (Double Agent VIP Mix)

I go and flex on a high 
I stress on my lows 
I won’t say goodbye
 I don’t wanna go

I smoke and get high 
Cause I feel alone 
I go and flex on a high 
I stress on my lows 

Go and spend my rent like oh why not
But another round like oh why not
Know I prolly shouldn’t like oh why not
But ima keep it going like oh why not

Shit be too complicated 
Shit be to complicated 
Ima just go and fake it
Cause I don’t wanna say it
Shit be too complicated 

Demons they come out at night 
I’m losing control
The worst kinda ride
I hate how it goes 

I smoke and get high 
Cause I feel alone
I go and flex on a high 
I stress on my lows 

I go I go I go way up
I can’t feel anything I’m way numb
Don’t tell me shit I’m tryna play dumb 
I’m tryna play dumb 

Shit be too complicated 
Shit be to complicated 
Ima just go and fake it
Cause I don’t wanna say it
Shit be too complicated 

I go and flex on a high 
I stress on my lows 
I won’t say goodbye
I don’t wanna go

I smoke and get high 
Cause I feel alone 
I go and flex on a high 
I stress on my lows 

Go and spend my rent like oh why not
But another round like oh why not
Know I prolly shouldn’t like oh why not
But ima keep it going like oh why not

Shit be too complicated 
Shit be to complicated 
Ima just go and fake it
Cause I don’t wanna say it
Shit be too complicated
