New release out on Real Soon Records
Thursday, May 24, 2007
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 the 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. Kai Alcé was born in New York and after spending his early years on the Caribbean island of St. Croix has moved between NY, Detroit and Atlanta. Kai’s previous releases have been on Track Mode, Late Night Essentials, Real Soon and Moodymann’s Mahogani Music. Recent works include a re-edit of Edwin Birdsong’s ‘Lollipop’ for Editions Disco and, in collaboration with Glenn Underground & Brett Dancer, a remix of Larry Heard’s ‘Changes’ for Track Mode. Kai is a busy DJ, playing regularly in the US and now making increasingly frequent missions to spread the word around Europe.
