Kowton unleashes a pair of devastating dance floor weapons to rattle your ribcage.
* 'Pea Soup' gets wavey in a fog of old rave stylings and jagged rhythms, while b-side 'Iodine' rolls with a
deeper shuffle, putting a UK spin on the classic Detroit sound. More

First salvo of a family affair between the Bristol label Happy Skull and the London-Athens nexus Berceuse Heroique. The slamming, futuristic, widescreen willies of classic Kowton — megaton drums, bass-up-the-walls — landing a massive spaceship just across from Ray Keith, in a landscape from Europe After The Rain. Plus collaborations between Billebob — best-kept secret of Underground Resistance — and Marshallito, boss of the mighty Subbass Sound System imprint, crossing freakin’ P-Funk and Detroit electro. The family that slays together, stays together, as Phil Ochs put it. More

Bristol's local hero Kowton contributes to TEALs fourth release - the slowly grooving house gem that is "DIRTY LITTLE BOMB" slowly evolves through cold, industrial soundscapes yielding one of the more introvert yet danceable tracks seen on TEAL so far. The mysterious player RIVET reworks KOWTONs gem on the flipside - cranking up the tempo; layering lush synth hits and shifty groove - Power moves! Early support from: Midland, Shifted, Blawan, Pariah, XI, DJ Donga, WNCL" More

Taking the low end tradition of Bristol music and marrying it to a murky, swung 4/4 aesthetic, Kowton returns to Idle Hands after the claustrophobic paranoia of his ‘Basic Music Knowledge’ / ‘Hunger’ set. She Don't Jack creeps into life with industrial textures before crisp, rigidclaps and shuffled hits skip energetically around a bassline malevolent in its simplicity. Drunk On Sunday works drum machine grooves from the off, heading down a stripped-bare corridor of pitch-black house. Fearsome bass swells enter the mix while metallic hits bolster the percussion. Fast becoming one of the leading lights in the wilder realms of UK house and techno, Kowton once again demonstrates his arcane production skills with devastating results.
