“Kante EP” brings out this well known producer's emotive, high energy style in a means that could be
pointed to as his best work to date.
We welcome to the Kompakt family one of our local Cologne heroes, Jonathan Kaspar. We’ve
appreciated him from afar for some time now thanks to his releases on Crosstown Rebels, Pets
Recordings, Ouie and of course our own KX imprint. His single “Renard” was a highlight of our
recently released TOTAL 19 collection, so it was time to make our relationship official with a 4 track
EP.
Opener “Kern” leads with layers of melodic synths power charged around a playful house rhythm. For
the digital release he offers up a Percussion Edit that is intended to bring more depth to the charge.
“Zentrum” is for that peak time pace…elevating melodies caress a swelling mid-tempo beat. Not to
mention one of the biggest breakdown’s we’ve had the pleasure to release in some time. We move to
“Licht” which literally sounds like it soars, then back to earth comes “Kante” – the most techno
inspired track of the EP – an oscillating synth rips through solid low end bass frequencies – with
Jonathan Kaspar skillfully demonstrating prime time, peak and valley production.
“Kante EP” brings out his emotive, high energy style of writing and producing in a means that could be
pointed to as his best work to date.
