Strange System (CD)

Krakota ist ein junger Produzent aus dem britischen Bournemouth und debütierte mit seinen 12" bei Hospital Records. Es handelt sich um deepe Roller mit perkussiven Sounds und hohem Wiedererkennungswert, die eigentlich immer und überall funktionieren. "Strange System" als Sammlung von 14 Tracks enthält ebenso unaufgeregte wie brachiale technoider Roller mit netten Elektrosounds den man eher auf dem Schwesterlabel Med School erwartet hätte. Sehr frisches Ding - von Krakota wird man sicher noch so einiges hören. Following a string of successful releases Krakota is back with a massive 14-track collection. 'Strange System' marries heavy distortion with razor-sharp clarity, crossing and colouring the black and white lines of drum & bass with his versatile style and slick production. His debut album stands tall and proud shouting his individual sound. Never underestimate Krakota, he's full of surprises! In 'Colour Of The Past' Krakota simultaneously tugs at the heartstrings and hits hard in the face with vocals brought by new finding Karina Ramage. The French-Scottish-English songwriter was a surprise find by label boss Chris Goss as he discovered her busking on London's South Bank. Another clear highlight is his partnering with our second label boss for 'Powder Coated' - the perfect mix of London Elektricity soul and Krakota power. 'Half Life' is a reminder back to the massive dancefloor damage caused by 'Ice Hands', 'Ghosts' and 'Xylo' last year. Its gritty split of siren calls and deep bouncing bass hits in all the right places. Krakota's musical edge shows in 'Elastic' with funk flare and horns hailing. 'North Winds' and 'Turn of Fate' blend arcade style synth work with crackles of white noise.
