Bleep

To celebrate the release of last year's Kiran Nous'klaer presents four fantastic takes on originals from Konduku's debut album. Forest Drive West and DB1, who happen to be close friends in real life, remixed Gunes and Yesil Agac on side one. Two labelmates Tammo and upsammy adapted Kizilirmak and Pembe Alan on the flip. Four trance inducing transformations for different hours of the night, blending their styles with Konduku's polyrhythmic grooves - one to keep in the bag. Forest Drive West, DB1 and Tammo all opt for an evocative soundsystem techno vibe with their entries - the former balances tough kicks with airy atmospherics on ‘Gunes’, DB1’s ‘82 Remix’ of ‘Yeşil Ağaç’ has a faintly Jan Jelinek-esque roll to it, and Tammo’s take on ‘Kizilirmak’ is busy in the vein of BFTT. The outlier is upsammy’s ‘Pembe Alan’ rework, a downtempo number that’s always threatening to break into something quicker.
