KAP 016EP
|
Bristol, England-based duo Asa & Sorrow open their Knights of Ren EP with "Island Wave," which uses a sonic palette reminiscent of vintage-era Joker productions. The undulating riddim displays the duo's ability to evoke emotions of childlike hope and wonder as they explore a genre dominated by a macho aesthetic. Crafted more pointedly as dancefloor weapons, "Barbaric" is a screwface-engager and "Knights of Ren" could come straight out of Plasticman set before Richie Hawtin had him change his name to Plastician. Lemz and Hi5Ghost's remix of "Knights of Ren" turns the riddim into a proud grime banger.

KAP 014EP
|
Asa & Sorrow join forces once again to feature on Kapsize in their own right with the Legendary EP -- a grime four-tracker which has already been on hot rotation with the genre's most respected DJs including Slmizee and Spryo, with the mic man-of-the-moment using it on shows including Rinse FM, as well as Wiley, Meridian Dan and Skepta jumping on board. Opening track "Untitled" is a take on Tinie Tempah's 2006 underground hit "Wifey." Asa has recently collaborated with Koan Sound for the Sanctuary EP on Skrillex's imprint, OWSLA.
