Press Info:
Next up on Nuremberg label Kias is an accomplished and subtle recording from Tripeo who follows up releases on Ben Sims’ label and Clone with his ‘Robber Barons’ EP.

‘Detached From Our Surroundings’ sets an intoxicating tone from the get-go. Moody, deep-set chords creep through minor keys while a staccato riff circles overhead. Drums are cleverly balanced against the heady melodies making it equally as effective in a warm-up set or as part of a memorable after-hours trip.

‘Robber Barons’ then builds a nice contrast between organic sonics and raw, 808 drums. A stripped, primal groove unfurls as parameters are gently manipulated, building tension throughout a brooding and dynamic piece of analog-heavy Techno.

Answer Code Request Remix then weighs in and offers up a free-flowing interpretation of Robber Barons. Here, a master at work allows his machines to breathe as the track gradually renders a dreamy but rugged landscape.

Press Info:
Kias is the label off-shoot of Kiss Klub – an ever-consistent club night at Die Rakete and the cream of Nürnberg’s Techno scene. Having made considerable headway with their inaugural release from Ostgut’s Fiedel – the bourgeoning project present the 2nd record in their catalogue; a VA from 4 certified producers: Amotik, Tripeo, Nørbak and Distant Echoes.

Berlin based Amotik kicks things off with a lesson in simplicity. ‘Taar’ works to firmly substantiate the notion that less is indeed more as it gently unfurls behind rich, swooning synth sweeps and a rugged kick drum.

Nørbak then follows up with the aptly titled ‘Hats Going Nuts’ which sets closed and open hats flickering and interweaving over a sturdy, mechanical groove. The low end stays stead while the high end generates the focal point of the track across another cleverly refined production.

Dutch producer Tripeo then follows up with the beautifully jarring ‘Eye Of The Beholder’. Trippy, flexible melodies and luscious chords are propelled by tight, sharpened drums and a deftly arranged structure.

Distant Echoes then concludes the VA with an aquatic sub- heavy jam titled ‘Sommo Carattere’. Raw, metallic tones fall like rocks on to a throbbing kick as melodies slowly but surely gather colour as they unfold. The mood remains moody and stern throughout – the perfect way to cap off the 2nd release from a label proceeding with robust intent.

Press Info:
Novel German Techno label KIAS is the label of Kiss Klub, a long standing club night at Nürnberg club Die Rakete. For the debut EP, KIAS counts with a 4 tracker by Ostgut´s FIEDEL.

This first release is aptly titled ‘Transference’ in reference to the discombobulated personal journey experienced by many artists & creatives since March 2020.

‘Transference’ manages to create a highly danceable, yet slightly dystopian dance narrative, fiercely roaming through a colorful techno spectrum.

The EP comes with extra digital goodies in the form of two carefully crafted bonus loops.
