Astrum

Next up on Kuukou is a snapshot of unbridled dance floor ecstasy courtesy of a cross- continental collaboration between 3 glowing talents: Japan's SUDO, USA's KRYOMAN and Eastern European maestro Horatio. Operating from sundered soils - the trio manage to offer shades of their own unique characters, bringing them together into one, cohesive and explosive recording. Horatio was the flint that formed the fire...having seen KRYOMAN's live performances in Las Vegas being aware of SUDO's meticulous approach to audio production, he envisioned a joining of forces and - through the power of the Internet - was able to meld some magic. Astrum truly captures something special. A searing, major-key step sequence courses through the core of the track, carrying a huge amount of energy with it while stony drums rattle off the surface of a dense sub bass. The sequencing gives 'final tune' energy as it contracts and swells towards electrifying drops that are certain to send clubs, festival floors and stadiums into a jubilant frenzy. Label head Simina Grigoriu then rounds the package off - doing what she does best in dialling back the vibe slightly, stripping things down and locking in a twisted, heady DJ tool playable at any time of the night.
