TT/Dok is Kenton Slash Demon's third EP on Future Classic, and it has drawn the same amount of anticipation and support as the Danish duo's previous offerings. This release reaffirms the strength of Kenton Slash Demon's organic, futuristic sound, and their obvious skills take their productions further than the typical frame and dramaturgy of a club track. They want to create soundtracks for clubs as well as music that one can listen to on a home stereo, thus blurring the space between the public and private experience.

Single-sided 12" with silk-screened B-side. Silas Moldenhawer and Jonas Kenton grew up together Copenhagen, spinning records and producing tracks, and later formed the indie-electro quartet When Saints Go Machine, while also building Kenton Slash Demon. The duo now follows its 2011 EP The Schwarzschild Solution Part III (TART 016EP) with Skydancer I & II. The haunting "Skydancer I" features pitched vocals, industrial hats, and a sinister bassline. The sunnier "Skydancer II" nods to UK rave with its broken drum patterns. This release represents the birth of WAA Industry, an imprint helmed by KSD and visual artist The Emperor of Antarctica.

This EP finds Jeremy Malvin, head of Chrome Sparks, mining the depths of bass music, synth pop, ambient hip-hop, and everything in between. "Goddess" builds around a wordless vocal sample, pitched and manipulated to blend in with the surrounding melodies. "Star Step" ebbs and flows, with the song's synth melody rooted firmly in Chrome Sparks' typically intricate and ornate percussion. "Enter the Chrome Forest" and "Lost in the Chrome Forest" are two cavernous songs that play with the space of the mix as much as they do the song's melody. "ZzzzzZ" recalls the West Coast beat scene-style hip-hop purveyed by the likes of Teebs and Salva.

The innocence of Christine Hoberg's vocal on "Clair De Lune" slowly but quietly crept its way into a lot of people's lives. The Claude Debussy-inspired track could only demand equally tasteful remixes. Starting with Norwegian disco god Prins Thomas; the seemingly quiet tastemaker goes about his work with effortless ease, and puts his sophisticated take on the Flight Facilities eight-minute journey. Crazy P, known for their fun stage shows and infectious original music, apply the combined skills of Hot Toddy and Ron Basejam. It's a slow-burning ear-worm that becomes more addictive with each listen.

Inspired by a background in classical percussion and an obsession with synthesizers, Jeremy Malvin creates music under the name Chrome Sparks. The project kicked off in mid-2012 with the release of "Marijuana," a thumping, fluttering piece of electronica that set the internet alight. "Marijuana" finally sees official release as part of Chrome Sparks' debut EP Sparks, a 6-track exhibition of future-funk. From contemplative opener "Your Planets" to the anthemic "Send the Pain On," this EP demonstrates Malvin's affinity for synthesizers, unusual sound combinations and sample manipulation.
