KIWI’s “Llama” is a much more straight up offering than the label’s first 12”, the epic “Heal” from label head Congreave (which received support from Radio 1 DJs Annie Mac, Heidi and Rob da Bank, as well as widespread club and blog recognition). The EP’s title track, a classic slice of italo-house, was a staple in Savidge’s Australian tour at the turn of the year – and seeing first-hand the overwhelming reactions it received from small basement clubs to festival main stages made it a no-brainer for him to snap up for the label. KIWI, meanwhile, has continued to win admirers as established as Erol Alkan and Andrew Weatherall (who both included his music in their recent BBC 6 Mixes), with further support coming from the likes of Ewan Pearson and Daniel Avery. All this has cemented itself with a booking at London’s prestigious Field Day festival, despite still having released no original material to date. “Llama” is backed with b-side “Jerboa” – a slower, all together more metallic offering – as well as remixes from Jack Savidge and fellow Durrr resident Rory Phillips.[info from wa]
