Ifume
Concrete Land EP
Master-H's Komplex De Deep imprint continue in their mission to bring us fresh, forward thinking and always unique electronic music. At almost a year to the day since we first introduced him to the world, KDD welcomes back the hugely talented, Ifume.
Having blown us away with last years "Polaroid Love" ep, his first ever official release, he returns with another stunning selection of music. Born in Japan and raised Brazil, Ifume has always been surrounded by an exotic variety of music. Whilst his aptitude was apparent at an early age, learning piano and guitar, Ifume never really exhibited a desire to pursue a career in music. However, upon graduating from school and through his friends, Ifume discovered the joys of the local club scene. Here his passion was ignited.
Whilst his sound is far from obvious, it does mirror his love for the New York, Detroit and Chicago scenes. He may well have been too young to experience at first hand, the early sounds coming out of those cities. But his love of the gritty, unpolished and brutally honest sounds of the 80's and early 90's, can be heard in his own intricate productions.
The twelve month wait for our second helping of Ifume, pales upon hearing this timeless piece of work. Lead track "Concrete Land" sees the young producer stripping things to the core. Glitchy melody, kick drum and single-kick bass are all thats needed here. On the somewhat strangely named 'Dub' version, Ifume treats us to a glistening shower of textured synths, warm bass and perfect percussion. A beautiful trip. From the darkened dancefloors to the sun-drenched beaches with "Jam At Haystack." Recreating the finest of 70's Latin sounds this Santana'esque number is the perfect beach party soundtrack.
