Defrostatica Electronic & Dance 7 Artikel

This is Detroit's Filthiest second appearance on Defrostatica Records after his joint with Sinistarr "Yo Speakerz" which received praise by legends DJ Shadow and Jon1st in 2017. The Baghdad-born, Detroit-made musician and ghettotech innovator returns to the label with three no-frills banging 160 BPM tracks. Honor Among Thieves EP bristles with content of an artist and dj who knows a thing about making you move. The release is topped off with a glowing remix by BSN Posse from Malaga, Spain: smokey halftempo hangout melting into an amen break explosion.

Maltin Worf is a B-boy at heart with roots in HipHop and Rap. Inspired by Madlib and J Dilla he started flexing his production skills in online beat battles, exploring glitch and wonky beats. Four years ago he won the annual Laptop Battle in Dresden where he started experimenting with jungle breakbeats after a mind-expanding trip on mushrooms and Amon Tobin.

For Rogue Style 2 EP we continue the mission for a global b-boy homage with artists from England (Digital), USA (6Blocc, Calculon, Shamanga), Finland (Fanu) and Iceland (Agzilla).

Rogue Style 1 EP is an international homage to b-boy culture, where the worlds of breakbeat music and breakdance collide. Sinistarr (USA), Kiat (Singapore), Kabuki (Germany) and HomeSick (Canada) are connected in many ways, now they lay bare their hip-hop roots and give something back with a fresh take through the eyes of drum & bass and juke/footwork.

This time it's our friend Kiat (Syndicate collective) from Singapore with three tunes that are impeccable in style and substance. From the soothing yet purposeful Brooklyn to the acute manifesto that is „Procession“ and the final but cathartic „Slider“ this EP offers a unique perspective on drum and bass music. The 160 bpm Five Boroughs Remix by Kabuki (V Rec.) is reflecting exactly the aesthetics of his regular night in Berlin called "New Forms" which he runs in collaboration with no other than D:Bridge. The title "Leipzig EP" reflects on the special relationship between the label owner’s (Booga) homebase in Germany with Kiat. It goes back to 2007 and kicked off with an interesting story involving dubplates and people still meeting on AIM.

"It's good to see that the number of artists and labels that are determined to blur the boundaries between Jungle, Juke and Autonomic Sound is growing. Kator's "Getstacked EP" on Defrostatica is a fine example of futuristic Footwork with British hardcore DNA. This is the sound of now." - KABUKI
