Kaya Project 'Seed E.P.' Review

 


Artist:

Kaya Project


Title:

Seed E.P.


Label:

Self Release


Released:

30th of October


'Seed' is the brand new single from Kaya Project, featuring Six fresh remixes by Somatoast, Mindex, Tribone & Liquid Bloom, Pan Electric, Chaos By Design & Digitalis.


The original piece is a quirky number comprised of traditional middle eastern rhythms and instrumentation counterbalanced with low-frequency bass, ethnic vocals and the inclusion of the clarinet adds a touch of jazz swing to the proceedings. Somatoast takes an ambient approach and strips the piece back, bringing the ethereal backing vocals to the forefront of his version. Tribone & Liquid Bloom create a dark brooding atmosphere initally, but they soon beef up the percussion and bass, whilst applying fx to the ethnic vocals. Mindex takes a very similar approach with a dark bass heavy version juxtaposed with the clarinet, flutes and those ethereal tones.


Seb puts on his Chaos by Design hat and teams up with Tribone & Liquid Bloom for a two-step breakz affair, that switches back and forth between the light and harmonious and the dark and heavy. Pan Electric on the other hand utilises the ethereal vocals and melodic strings, adding a funky bass and organ which takes the piece into a completely different direction than his predecessors. Seb changes hats once again this time under his Digitalis pseudonym he slowly drifts through the clarinet and begins to twist the FX moving to dark and dirty territories. To conclude there’s a continuous mix for those who mind the gaps.
