KM Editions Vinilo y CD

Review: The first "KM Editions" EP of the year, it's another essential addition to the collection as the London editor lays down three very distinct chapters. "Kendo Rocks" pays homage to UK wrestling OG Kendo Nagasaki with feint Oriental motifs over a steady chugging, dubby groove while "Bernie's Boogie" takes us on a hazy, balmy Gainsbourg style trip. Finally we hit "Getting Spacey Again" with a juicy synth-laced, slap-bassed disco groove looped up with raw majesty. Get mashed.

Review: Another round of superb KM Editions edits from the Keyboard Masher - last seen turning out for Resista - and this fourth volume might be the best so far. The work of Todd the God is praised on the languid "Synthesize" with the famous singer's voice woozily sat deep beneath the luxuriant, saturated grove treated with all manner of echo and reverb FX by the Keyboard Masher. Those that know will bask in the subtle yet effective methods employed to transform the source, while those who don't should feel compelled to investigate further. Complementing this "Spaghetti Voodoo" is a moog heavy disco dub delight that contains the best cymbal break from recent memory, while "Cabin Cruising" might just be the best version of "For Your Love" thus far (and there's been plenty mate).
