KaySoul – Click EP.
Johannesburg-based house producer KaySoul is up next on Rotterdam’s Fluid Funk. He’s been gaining notoriety in the scene through releases on Shall Not Fade and Dirt Crew. His sound is a unique blend of afro-futuristic motifs and no-nonsense jacking house vibrations. The “Click EP” is a perfect example of this, with elements of muscular bass music and torrid backroom ambiences.
Click & Of Yore.
Gristly, ovoid subs maintaining a steady pressure are the perfect foundation for the lead-single “Click” feat. LYMA. The vocals are processed with pizzazz and yet remain soulful, thanks to LYMA’s seamless integration of vocal swagger. “Of Yore” is a more jagged slice of future-facing house music, with a seriously fiery mix of blazing basslines and trampling kick-snare combo that goes straight for the jugular. Combined, these tracks show the true potential of the Afro-house genre, injecting it with a healthy dose of playfulness.
Of Yore (Uzu Moon Remix)
His spin on the latter with a laid-back, escapistic impersonation, Uzu Moon has us floating in an ethereal yet dynamic haze of pastel-brushed synth tapestries and LA beat/UK liquid jungle-informed rhythmic salvos, woven along mangled vocal stabs straight out a Sepalcure-esque, breaks-fuelled dream sequence.
Gershwin.
KaySoul joins forces with Kurtx on the jolting “Gershwin”, fusing P-funk-ian keyboard oddity with an emphatically lurching cosmo-bop kind of swing that promises to have everyone on their knees. Topping off that bumpy sonic hike, they both bring us back down to earth with a resounding thump.
Final words.
KaySoul has delivered with his Click EP. This EP has something for everyone, with a blend of funky afro house and contemporary house music that is sure to get your groove on. If you’re looking for Chigago styled afro “broken” house music with a Lo-Fi twist that will have you moving all night long, look no further than SA’s KaySoul and his Click EP!
