Debut 12” release from Hospital’s latest signing Krakota sees the Bournemouth based youngster flex his musical muscles with two contrasting tracks of quality nu-school d+b magic.
Instantly recognisable thanks to it’s infectious percussive riff (the clue’s in the title), Xylo is a syncopated stepper which drops hard thanks to a rugged rumbling off beat sub.
Irregular switches the story with stacato synth work and angry angular beats.
With early releases on Critical, Ingredients, Subtitles and the mighty Playaz label, not to mention two tracks on Hospitals epic ‘We Are 18’ compilation at the start of this year, Krakota can count Friction, Fabio and Crissy Criss as fans.
Ingested into Hospital’s sonic hit squad earlier this year, alongside the likes of Reso and Lynx, Krakota becomes the latest signing to the label to unveil his first solo 12”, as Hospitals ‘Class of 2014’ steps up the game and look to follow the likes of Fred V & Grafix, Metrik and Etherwood with huge debut releases.
As one of the new breed of producers making waves from the coast, it’s fair to say Bournemouth based Sebastian Inwood, aka Krakota, has made a strong and steady incline during his drum & bass career to date. To say the future is bright for this young budding producer would be a massive understatement. There will be no way of escaping Krakota’s bass heavy, break laden productions any time soon.
