MM / KM VELOURS

MM/KM is German producers Kassem Mosse and Mix Mup, and they make experimental house and techno fusions that are frayed and rough, lo-fi but high class. It has been quite some time since we heard from the pair how join the dots between Chicago and Liepzig, so this is a treat. 'Ford Sierra In Dub' is a flickering late-night dub with loosely outlined rhythms and melancholic sine waves tumbling through the mix. 'Gedanken' is a lone, rugged synth that sounds lost and curious, then 'Velours is perfectly weighted, well swung dub minimalism for heady backrooms. 'Delphinpanik' pairs jazzy cymbals and scattered synth daubs to make for a sparse ambient sound. Typically unique from this duo.[info sheet from distr.]
