this ep combines the veteran talents of kniteforce label owner dj luna-c, with the debut release of kniteforce radio owner, the lowercase, and comes up with something quite unique. a love for heavy beats and inspired by some of the toughest old skool around, the ep delves into the underground in a big way, throwing caution to the wind and layering multiple breakbeats and aggressive stabs together to make a wall of hard sound, just like it was back in the day.
the two label runners combine forces for the deeply old skool ep. saiyan and luna-c bring the simple joy of the old rave sound to their ep, with two tracks cut in the style of the early breakbeat scene of 1992, and one track that stems from a little later, when things got more 4x4 and slightly tougher. all the tracks on the ep are made with a majority of hardware rather than the standard software of today, and the result is a warm, analogue, and absolutely true to its era ep of rolling breaks, deep basslines and uplifting vibes!
the legacy series is a showcase for artists that have been with the label for a long time or are a significant or part of our history. each legacy release has new remixes, unreleased material, remasters and will be either a single or double vinyl with a single or double cd. alk-e-d’s legacy ep is a thing of beauty, both musically and visually. the record comes shrinkwrapped, and the sleeve has a spine. all 4 remixes on the vinyl are superb, pushing the boundaries of hardcore and displaying the qualities of alk-e-d’s original tunes while maintaining their integrity and bringing them to a whole new level.
* after nearly 10 years, kfa returns to vinyl. as a label, kfa was widely loved for its ability to shift styles and genres, always hitting slightly off center, to produce such off kileter classics as the original “truffle shuffle”, a jungle anthem that gets a much deserved remix on this ep. new signee scartat brings the pain with monstrously heavy beats in “role model”, which kf digital man of the moment bucksta keeps it slightly mellower with “killer sound”, leaving luna-c & mr arthur to bring the dancehall vibes with “judgement”.
