KH* – The Track I've Been Playing That People Keep Asking About And That Joy Used In His RA Mix And Daphni Played On Boiler Room

I usually like Four Tet but this is pretty awful. Kieran probably made this track in less time than it actually takes to listen it. Proof that people will buy anything in their droves if it's a limited release and played by the right people.

I think this is a fantastic record, and give props to Kieran for putting it out there in such a mystifyingly quick, small white label run. It's not the kind of record that will garner huge club play results the way something like FCL's "It's You" might, but it does have an unshakably powerful vocal line running through the core of it - the sheer power of the human voice is the focus of this track, and the vocals are all at once hypnotizing and movement-inducing; the skeletal backing percussion only adds to it.

Also notable is how un-Four-Tetty this is. Afro house is nothing particularly new in itself, but Hebden carries it out with head high and convictions showing, and the power of the sample comes through.

Listen to it on mp3 first, and if you've been entranced with it since it debuted in Joy O's RA mix like I have, take the time/effort/$$$ to pick up a copy. Dancefloors will thank you.
