Kiat and Alley Cat make their first release on the Kokeshi imprint, delivering two undoubtedly bass laced dittys for us to grind our hips to.    
    Starting with A side "Purple Clouds", the two combine to produce a wonderfully distorted electro-come-2-step beat, that drives the euphoric, glistening pads forward with ferocious aplomb. Swathing with sub bass and stylised glitch, the track's grit underpins the very clean over head melodies, and helps create a glaring contrast but one that ultimately works.

    The AA side is a solo outing from Singaporean, Kiat. "The Missing Channel" actually sounds like it has its roots firmly in 05/06 dubstep, with a delicious sub gliding at first beneath some arpeggiation, before being effortlessly guided by a pounding half step beat. Make no mistake, on a system of any note this one would be some "eyes down" business, at least until the glissando on the sub has smacked your head through the roof. Big beat.
    Overall, it's a tasty release. If you're previous musical journey's have taken in stalwarts such as Radioactive Man, Luke Vibert, or maybe more recently people like Tech Itch, then this ones a must for your bag.
