Sebastian Davidson & MidiDropMusic - 'The Truth About Kwango'
feat. Kris Wadsworth & Foolish Horse Remixes
Click Here To BUY on Traxsource‘The Truth’ punches a groove from the off; as its steady kick is punctuated with far off claps which sway your hips, you’re forced to day dream amongst the bouncing beats and rippling pads which swirl all around. A serene 4/4 track that build’s in stature, ‘The Truth’ is as innocent and simple, yet essential and rewarding, as its name suggests it should be.
‘Kwango’ is a clickier jam. It’s clipped, glitched percussion opens atop a pulsing, warped baseline, and is dark and consuming until it tumbles out on to a wider plane with concertinaed beats and twists of synth injecting a soul. Rolling along in fathom deep grooves, reverbed snippets of vocal and their alternation with the more ethereal machine made sounds keep the track moving along nicely. ‘Kwango’ is odds on to work its way into the musical journeys weaved by any of Berlin or Detroit’s finest deep jocks.
Remixing ‘The Truth’ is rising Detroit based star Kris Wadsworth and he certainly brings to the table his share of the quality for which Detroit is known. The raw and snappy kick which comes in early on is rough and ready with a blunt edge. The rasp of analogue crackle which punctuates, the flange effected booms which bounce, the man stating that ‘Detroit is alive’ all have a foot in the harder edged days of techno past, whilst the ‘melody through repetition’ element of modern minimal is still incorporated. Flicking twos at any zeitgeist, this Wandsworth remix switches the mood of the original with subtle grit and layered energy.
Finally, Foolish Horse reinterprets ‘Kwango’ as a swirling, thud propelled heads-down stomper. The circling siren cocoons your mind between walls of tight micro bongos and spaced keys. As your head nods, your feet shift accordingly. As the track breaks half way through you’re allowed to gather your thoughts briefly before the track implodes, shrinking into bristling ambience before bulging into rolling, percussion flecked 4/4. It thus completes a deep and emotive EP from a label you’ll be hearing a lot more of in coming times.
