Sales Information:

Black Sand is a new collaboration combining techno sounds old and new.

The duo consists of Max Durante (who produced the first Kynant record) and fellow-Italian, DJ Datch. Their ‘Desert Island EP’ is heavy on drum machines and classic styling but produced with modern design.

'Abyss' and 'Black Sea' begin the record with restraint, building a groove out of tense layers of underwater atmosphere and a tough low-end. The B-Side pushes the sound harder; the creeping drone of 'Dead Sea' is tailored for DJs to gradually build a room's energy, whilst 'High Tide' is peak-time material noticeably inspired by the 90s.

Mastered by Neel (EnissLab Studio, Rome). Pressed onto 180g, 12” vinyl at Optimal Media, Germany. Packaged in a house sleeve. All artwork designed by Christopher Honeywell.

Kynant Records is of UK background and currently run from Berlin. Its records explore and invert rhythm in techno.[txt from ]
