KSEL - Kontrast - KEY vinyl
Swedish duo KSEL is made up of Kim Stockblom and Elias Landberg who you will probably best know as the man behind Skudge. This is their debut offering on the Key Vinyl label and it is couched in Jeff Mills style Detroit techno minimalism. Opener 'Kontrast' is all chattery claps, hurried drum loops and subtly evolving synth melodies, 'Dash' is edgy and keeps you in suspense, while 'Reformed' gets even more manic with its pinging drums and silvery hi hats overlaid with restless and warped synths lines. 'Codex' closes out with searching sonar blips and supple drums designed to take you deep down a rabbit hole.
