Artist:	ALCE, KAI
Title:	The Polyester Static EP
Label:	REAL SOON (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	RSOON 019EP

"Kai Alcé returns to Real Soon with a new 3-track EP -- his third release on the label following Corner Manuvers (2006) and Broken Headlights (2007). Polyester Static features two tracks at either end of Kai's stylistic spectrum plus a driving remix by house music legend Chez Damier. The title track is a classic mix of jacking synth bassline, Rhodes piano chords, pitched up cowbells and scat vocals. At the other end of the spectrum, 'Born A Day After' is another great example of Kai's deep, drowsy, beautifully constructed minimalism. On the flip, Chez Damier remixes 'Polyester Static,' heading straight for the dancefloor with a rolling bassline, stabbing chords and submerged vocal -- irresistible pure house music in the best tradition! Kai Alcé is an Atlanta-based DJ and producer with roots in Detroit and New York. He has previous releases on Track Mode, Late Night Essentials, Real Soon & Moodymann's Mahogani Music and in 2008 launched his own label NDATL Muzik."

Title:	Broken Headlights
Label:	REAL SOON (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	RSOON 014EP

"Atlanta-based DJ and producer Kai Alcé returns to Real Soon for his second release on the label following Corner Manuvers in 2006. The Broken Headlights EP features three cuts of the purest, rough & ready, deep, abstract house music from one of music's up & coming producers. On the A-side, Kai demonstrates his subtle production skills as he creates a beautiful balance of chopped beats and floating chords. The title track 'Broken Headlights' combines stuttering, broken drum parts, deep sub-bass and warm emotional chords, woven with a light vocoder-like synth part and crunchy percussion. 'Gravity' is a dreamy, live-sounding arrangement of grainy beats, modulated chords and chiming keyboard notes. On the flip, 'Hi-Lee Teched Off' is a raw, looped piece of deep Detroit house, soaked in gradually building and shifting Rhodes chords; a great DJ tool in the right hands."
