Forward thinking club sounds from Slikback, remixed by Sarmacja and Sunun.
New tracks of forward thinking club music from Kenyan producer Slikback, continuing in rule shredding, genre melding form. Two new enigmatic originals, and two remixes - one from Sarmacja, natives of his current home, Poland, who give Quoios a dub workout, the other from Bristolian producer Sunun, spinning out Klout in a less pressured environment. On the A side, Quoios charts a looming, atmospheric build-up gives way to driving, chainsaw wielding industrial beats layered with vocalsand samples. Klout meshes dark tones and complex rhythms, with a very slight nod to acid on the sounds. Both tracks are warehouse-ready dancefloor weapons. On the B side, Sarmacja's dub pulses from the off, introducing a strand of keening vocals and cosmic flushes. Sunun's remix offers a slower, exploratory and haunting re-imagining of Klout.[info sheet from distr.]
