AUS 194PT2-EP
|
Wisdom Teeth co-founder K-Lone presents a deep, broken techno vibe on this EP, Catching Wild Pt. 2. Opener "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah" is a deep and bubbly cut with dubbed-out rhythms and a one-vocal refrain that's looped, panned about the mix and doused in reverb to serve as a trippy hook. Further stabs, deft synth details, whirring pads and neon colors all add detail to this warm, dynamic sound. The fantastic "Elastick" is a tight and kinetic minimal kicker with gorgeously smeared pads. Fresh sound designs bring it to life next to lush background chords that layer in plenty of signature K-Lone color. "Shook" is a dubby and bouncy rhythm with rubbery bass and glitchy hits that hook you into a world of gloopy pads and heady cosmic ambience. Last of all, "Brake Root" keeps the good vibes coming, this time with a tumbling broken beat that makes you shake your body loose amidst balmy pads and beautiful melodic curlicues that ooze late-night soul. UK trailblazer K-Lone heads up the label Wisdom Teeth with fellow producer Facta and has released everything from club-primed garage to innovative home listening records. Whether cooking up kinetic beats and bouncy bass or soundtracking a lazy summer's afternoon with synthesized bird calls and lush marimbas, the London-bred artist is a proven studio wizard. Critical acclaim has come for both his Swells and Cape Cira albums, and now his Catching Wild EPs for Aus Music offer yet another portal into the colorful world of his idiosyncratic, signature sound.

AUS 194PT1-EP
|
Wisdom Teeth co-founder K-Lone is dropping two EPs on Aus Music: the first instalment nods to UKG and house flavors, while the second offers a deeper, broken techno vibe. "Give It Up" opens Part 1 with a bubbly rhythm and bassline that percolates through the woody, organic percussion. Lush pads and neon lines swirl skyward to silky and seductive effect as various other samples and daubs of color bring the groove to life. The heady "Wait 4 U" is a textbook K-Lone house cut with low swinging bass, sultry sax stabs and molten R&B samples that get the juices going next to warm, diffused synth lines. On the flip, "What I Want" ups the pace but keeps it deep and smooth with rubbery kicks and gooey bass overlaid with soft-edged chord stabs that will pump the floor. Lastly, "Own Way" closes down with a tumbling bassline that takes you deeper as muted vocal sounds and glowing chords hook you into an infectious groove suited to the most intimate dancefloors.

WSDM 001LP
|
Cape Cira is the lush, hypnotic debut album by acclaimed British producer K-LONE. In contrast to his clubbier productions, Cape Cira sees the producer explore the full melodic and textural potentials of his sound, drawing influence from ambient, fourth world, and modern classical music to create a work more closely related to the outputs of SND, Jon Hassell, Burnt Friedman, or -- more recently -- Don't DJ and Visible Cloaks. The result of a short creative burst during a grim British winter, the record explores music as escapism, comprising a series of lush, warm vignettes that demonstrate music's unique transportive power. Cape Cira takes place in a sensuous sonic world between the natural and digital realms: FM synthesizers mimic acoustic instruments, tuned percussion, and bird song; and found sounds and field recordings are processed with a hyperreal sheen. The gift for composition only hinted at in K-LONE's work to date is on full display here. The artful and intuitive simplicity of the record's melodies belies the complexity of their composition, where looping polyrhythms create shifting, unresolved patterns and ever-changing counterpoints. Cape Cira marks the first full length release on Wisdom Teeth -- the label K-LONE runs with friend and collaborator, Facta. The album stands as an exciting next step for both the producer and the label itself, furthering their reputation as key young voices in contemporary electronic music.

Wisdom Teeth co-founder K-LONE is back on home turf with a four-track EP of broken beats for big rigs. The Sine Language EP sees him handling a range of styles and tempos, moving from paranoiac electro ("Sine Language") and low-slung percussive house ("Batucada") through to tripping, bleeping techno ("Missed Calls") and, finally, early hours dubbed-out house ("Bells").

WYCH 002EP
|
The young Londoner explores his formative roots in dubstep and grime -- albeit from a startlingly fresh, forward-facing perspective. The tracks loosely recall the off-kilter rhythms of early James Blake and Joe, but their psychedelic melodies have as much in common with the contemporary experiments of Leif, Peverelist, and Duckett. Hotly tipped by dubstep heads Commodo, V.I.V.E.K, and Boofy & Kursk.

SMNCHR 008EP
|
Helmed by Wisdom Teeth label head K-Lone, the three track release also features a remix from Bristolian duo O$VMV$M. A labor of love which has, according to Soundman Chronicles head honcho Parris, taken "a year to complete", as both he and Josiah Gladwell, aka K-Lone, searched hard for a safe pair of remixing hands. "Old Fashioned" breathes new life into the Basic Channel pioneered dub techno sound. "In The Dust Of This Planet", characterized by a weighty kick and hard-hitting drums, hits before O$VMV$M lend the title track a more atmospheric feel, with a fuzzy lo-fi clap and dainty hi-hats.
