Ku.Bo – Let’s Go EP – Bastardo Electrico Recordings (BE003)
Posted: February 7, 2013 Filed under: Releases | Tags: bastardo electrico recordings, ku.bo Leave a comment »Ku.Bo is a new collaboration project between two producers with plenty of pedigree. Englishman James Kumo comes from a string of releases on Curle, Autoreplay and Metamorhpic records amongst others and Italian producer Roberto Bosco from Orlando Voorn’s Night Vision label, Wave Music and Seventh Sign. This new pairing has resulted in a trio of high-quality techno-slanted tracks.
‘Let’s Go’ is a crackly, slightly wonky groove with hints of dub techno that starts out one thing and ends as another. The oddball, big-room synth which comes in from midway through screams of Carl Cox festival sets. Its combination of madness and acid synths manages to avoid getting too obvious as many synthy tracks tend to.
‘Sweaty Palms’ begins with pulsing sub-bass that will push the lower limits of many stereos. A track of metallic stabs, jingles and atmospheric samples fades in slowly from nothing – forging a hypnotic groove out of thin air which would knock a few IQ points off the dance floor if played at the right moment. Most DJs won’t ‘get’ this track but, in the right hands, it would shred.
‘Detox’ is the most conventional track on offer here. It’s new-school dub techno with superbly layered elements that have so much space between them you’ll feel like you’re in a cavern. The muddy beats are offset by the spacial delays on the other elements, combining for a pretty massive track. Lots of people attempt this sound but few manage it this well. Wickedness.
