Death, Rebirth, Life

The 90’s rave scene embodied a sense of freedom, defiance, energy, and diversity. Konvic’s track, ‘Dove Days’ celebrated that with a hard techno edge and spoken vocals by DeepDownDirty label boss and founder Maya Stone.

Fast forward seven years from the release of ‘Dove Days’ (and as DeepDownDirty fast approaches its tenth year of existence) and Konvic has put together a full album’s worth of eclectic new music to complement the original track, bringing it bang up-to-date with hiphop-edged techno in ‘Escape Key’ featuring Melee; a drum and bass duo of tracks in ‘We Need Love' & ‘Aura’, which both feature TiaSun; and 'Gaia’, with its hard neuro-influenced riff.

Amongst the techno you can also find the bouncy ‘Moroccon Nights’, with its North African-influenced vibe; an acid techno collaboration with Alf E James, ‘Rhythm is in my Mind’; the pulsating groove of ‘Dance’, the third track to feature TiaSun; the vibrant chords of ‘Keep Walking By’; the underground feel of ‘Exit Light'; and the subversive ‘Don’t Be Afraid’, a collaboration with Coqui.

This is music that celebrates the liberating, hedonistic 90’s rave scene with a futuristic edge. Its euphoric, rebellious and wild. It embodies great dance music in its all its glorious variety across the eleven tracks. As Maya says on ‘Dove Days’, “It didn’t matter who you were or what you did, we were united by the music,”.

'Dove Days’ the LP stands as a reminder and testament of how true that still is.

Trust Image - Doing You Wrong

UK music of the early 2010s was heavily dominated by a select modicum of names – of which Wayne Goodlitt (also known as Roska) was intrinsically one. Collaborating with the likes of Swindle and Funtcase, a long-running residency with and releases on Rinse, as well as Hotflush (whose 2011 label showcase for BR incidentally featured Roska on the bill), Numbers and Tectonic all staked Roska's claim in the rapidly shifting food chain of British dance and bass music.

Since 2009, Roska's own Kicks & Snares imprint has been housing his prolific discography as well as various other trustee, paving the way in both old and new UK Funky-based music, as well as beyond. Though, much like his own music, genres are becoming less of a thing in dance music. If anything, variety of output is equally as authentic as orthodoxy to one given genre. Man like Roska is a true testament to the former. RKS now reopens shop with Roska's new Askin 4 It EP. All six cuts pay homage to the dance music sound that is quintessentially British. Our highlight "Make Way" whirs underneath with sub-levels bass, permeated by a heavily percussive rhythm throughout that demands to be danced to. All with that unmistakeable "Roska" vocal ident taking us way back. A welcome return to a seasoned pro of UK dance music.

Catch Askin 4 It dropping in full on 8th April.
