[LVL-12] Kaitaro a.k.a. Kai - Minority EP

Kaitaro | Minority EP | LVL-12

Level Records twelth release is the most minimalistic one in the label’s history so far. The first track on the EP, which has nearly 30 minutes of running time, is „Narcotic“ - a track, that starts very percussive with a driving one-note bassline, that reminds us in the best way of what some people call the new school of Minimal. But then Kaitaro opens the track and lets outlines of moody melodies in, that fit with the label’s older releases. „March“ is a very reduced house-track. With very warm sounds and a few deep scapes, Kaitaro creates a minimal track as atmospheric as it could be. „Cosmo“ has a funk-infected bassline and a slice of more experimental harmonies and sounds. The track takes much time to build up until the listener notices himself nodding his head. „Washer“, the final track, is the most minimalistic but at the same time the most danceable track. Its rolling percussive elements make it a fine DJ-Tool, that will make every crowd move.

tracklist:

A1 Narcotic
A2 March
B1 Cosmo
B2 Washer

Picked this up a while ago. Good release. Kai has been on point as of late. I also recommend his stellar release on Revolver.

I wasn't on the mnml forum for some while thats why the post for this release is not brandnew anymore, but still worth knowing about i think.
Yes, but the Revolver is only digital, i want vinyl :)
