Our take
by Angus
Willaris. K’s Alchemy has to be one of the most essential pieces of electronic music to spring from our shores in the past decade. We struggle to recall an EP so viscerally embedded with gripping emotion, one so carefully composed of minute details that creep in and out of the mix.
It kicks off with the anxious arpeggios of ‘Catch Phrase’, a song that sounds as if it’s been reworked from Vangelis’ ‘Blade Runner’ soundtrack, until a throbbing, stuttering beat drops in halfway through. There’s the video game synths and propulsive techno of ‘Risen’, the brief ambient interlude ‘River Song’, and the club ready bass synths and four to the floor kick drum of finale ‘Dour Night’. It all adds up to an unmissable, sparkling work of techno that leaves us wanting more.
