Form001 presents a compilation of 4 transcendent cuts, that perfectly fit into the sound that Form and Function embodies, though with a different approach in mind.
On the A-side, Kafim starts the exploration with âKisinâ. The trancey bassline that dictates the pace of this track, combined with a variety of distinctive sounds, make it sound almost otherworldly. As it defies the ideas of a vast structure, this trip almost seems to continue to an infinite space before it fades out.
Kafim brings dark and ruff techno sets with a predilection for groove. Resident DJ at the well known Deep in House parties in Belgium, he shaped his particular style meticulously. The Brussels-based artist has a background in classical music, having played the piano and sung in a choir. During his teenage years, Kafim quickly became hooked on the electronic scene by firstly dabbling with drumânâbass before finally getting comfortable with techno.
The second track on the A-side, by the hand of the only non-Belgian artist of this compilation: Qindek. âTwo Birdsâ pushes the envelope with hard-hitting techno infused with dizzying noise and a joint-venture between high-pitched pads and repetitive low ends.
The B-side lifts off with modular madness by Siwei. Kickdrums decide the tempo in a tribal way on layers of ambient sounds and hi-hats in different forms.
Thomas Hayes finalizes the release with âNon Soloâ, which is partially slow burner: this track chooses to advance in a gradual manner, by appending elements, almost one by one. This progression continues until the climax, where you get some acid sounds that lastly continue to the end of the track.
FORM001 is out on June 15th and available for pre-order via Juno, Deejay and Bandcamp
