The ever-reliable Kuukou Records continues with stern and burly intent with an onslaught of releases ready for dance-floors as they continue to open up across the beginning of 2022. Simina Grigoriu’s label follows on Kuukou’s last EP with a fresh with a single featuring 2 feisty remixes from I AM BAM and Southampton based artist Melody’s Enemy.
It’s evident from the very first kick drum that ‘Instant Communication’ slots effortlessly into the Kuukou catalogue; the title track drives a heaving kick under flashing 909 hats before the whole recording opens up into a dark and cinematic breakdown. Rasping low-end rips under strings and vocal snips, swelling with tension before sparking the floor back up with powerful effect.
Thundering & menacing from the very first kick drum, I AM BAM’s remix of ‚Instant Communication’ takes the listener higher with pure, ruthless rave energy. The arps weave an infectious & hypnotic journey throughout the track blending seamlessly into the rhythm of the drums. Bam’s signature raw, energy shines through and delivers us a warehouse stomper destined to elevate any dancefloor instantly.
Melody’s Enemy then concludes things with his take – a slightly more stripped version which relies on deft sound design, a consistent sense of pressure and filtered vocals which round off another sterling addition to a catalogue of music going from strength to strength.
October the 1st meet USA based artist and producer – Juheun to deliver his two-tracks release titled “M87” followed by the remix from gorgeous Simina Grigoriu to Set About!
“M87 I named this track after a galaxy called Messier 87 which has a black hole in its center sitting about 53 million light years from Earth. M87 instantly brings us to the event horizon with razor sharp stabs sprinkled amidst a ruthless kick drum. The first drop in the track slaps you into space and prepares the listener for a wild ride as the drums progressively build into the next void.
In ‘Digital High’ I tried to capture the feeling and emotion of traveling through space and time, a fusion of unrelenting energy and ethereal synths. I wanted it to be an unpredictable journey for the listener, invoking feelings of clarity and wonder. The hypnotizing vibe pumps from start to finish with a sci-fi breakdown and drop that hits the dance floor with massive energy. “
