Bunjy & Kickback feat. Kayla

RELEASE DATE: 28th AUG 2020

Press Release
XAMNT001 

Both titans of the local music scene in their own right, long-standing Bristol DJs Bunjy and Kickback make for a heavyweight production duo. While most renowned for co-founding acclaimed reggae band Laid Blak – who have extensively toured the world and have even been covered by Ed Sheeran – Bunjy is also equally adept in producing jungle. Kickback, meanwhile, has played at Glastonbury and Westfest, and recently debuted on AFT Records with the sinewy, Keeno-approved “We Roll”. The first offering from the pair’s new label, X-AMNT, comes courtesy of its two founders. “Boundaries” features soothing vocals from Kayla and is accompanied by two radical reinterpretations of the track.

A breezy summer roller laced with an underlying bite, “Boundaries” opens with soulful, pop-tinged lyrics and vibrant flourishes of acoustic guitar before erupting into coarse, bass-heavy drops, punctuated by bouncy 808s and skittering hi-hats. Drastically transforming the song into an altogether softer number on its first remix, Bunjy pares back the arrangement, dropping out the brutal basslines in favour of a lighter, more commercial approach centred on the song’s exquisite topline. On the remix’s final verse, in steps special guest Chavez of Bristol collective Free Culture, who provides a slick, sweet-talking sixteen bars directly addressing his other half.

Closing proceedings is a remix by Chris Gould, a fellow West Country production whizz and a long-time affiliate of Bunjy’s, having served as one of his colleagues in the ‘90s house outfit Bristol Exposure. Gould flips the track into a tropical, R&B-leaning pop piece, retaining Chavez’s rap verse and decorating it with delicate, reverberating plucks to make for yet another unique spin on the song.

With an initial offering as versatile as this, it’s clear that the newly minted X-AMNT has a long future ahead, with plenty of surprises around the corner. Get to know.
