Primitive Groove by Kiwa has been featured on The Crystal Method‘s radio show this December. Ever since Kiwa started producing breaks over a decade ago, Crystal Method was one of the artists for us to get inspired on this style of music. Goes without saying this really means a lot to us. Big up you guys!
Since our previous release ‘Feed The Static EP’ we are returning from uplifting and melodic breaks into the world of epic moods and rough baselines. ‘The Boomstick EP’ takes us from 110 bpm beats to psychedelic electro house and drum & bass tunes.
Our journey starts off with ‘Boomstick’, built on cinematic funk atmospheres and legendary samples from Bruce Campbell. Next up are two electro house tunes, ‘Don’t Get Dumb’ with a Prodigy type of rave vibe, followed by a booty shaking remix for Tom Cosm. We are also introducing the first official remix for the Omen Sisters taken from their debut album ‘Combine Combust’. For the past year this d’n’b tune has proven to be a total dancefloor filler. Last but not least we’re diving into subwoofer rocking, atmospheric and glitchy grooves with ‘Relativity Theory’.
Released by Adapted Records, ‘Boomstick EP’ is out on Beatport and other digital stores October 14th!
‘Feed The Static EP’ takes a nostalgic look a few years back to the times of energetic and uplifting party breaks. This EP features 3 remastered breaks tunes we have played in our live sets since 2010 always receiving a massive response on the dancefloor. To top it all we’ve added a raw and kicking electro house remix of Flash Forward into the set.
We are happy to let you know that we have signed 2 new EPs which will be coming out during the fall 2013. The tracks are currently in the final mixing and mastering stage. It has been a demanding process but we simply want to make sure the outcome will sound as fat, polished and high end as possible.
‘Feed The Static EP‘ will be released September 16th by the Spanish breaks label Elektroshok Records. These guys have been making it big in Beatport for quite some time now. The release features breaks and electro house styles followed by a remix of ‘Feed The Static’ from the American breaks producer Bella.
The second one will follow shortly after on the almighty Australian label Adapted Records. Know as the Beatport chart topping and #1 glitch hop label at the moment, we are super excited about this collaboration. ‘The Boomstick EP‘ is a versatile release featuring 110 bpm club tracks, electro house and drum ‘n’ bass tunes. Pretty much all the styles we are into right now!
Kiwa’s live set was featured in the Finnish bass music media Kehto Magazine. The review is only in Finnish but the live seemed to have hit the spot since according to the author it was the highlight of the evening. Lahti’s notorious d’n’b club Rumble was celebrating the 5 year anniversary.
Evacuate The Soul is a statement. The EP steps outside Kiwa’s usual electro and dancefloor style and takes the listener on an intense, gritty and futuristic journey. The release features 4 tunes starting with a moombahcore style track and continuing with 3 drumstep bangers.
For years now Kiwa’s live sets have been featuring drum and bass and broken beat tunes so it was about time to dedicate a release for this type of sound. For fans of massive basslines, epic melody structures and intense beats this release is sure to make an impact.
Support from FAR TOO LOUD, TOM COSM, TWEQ, KRIS KYLVEN, BIG MISTAKE, PALEFACE and many more…
