Kokeshi 004 Review in Phuturelabs
click the image to jump to the full review..cheers lads : D
…….
If this is a taster of what we can expect from Kryptic Minds’ forthcoming new album then we’re in for a treat. Perfectly combining the important elements of the original but adding their unique touch to create an eerie chunk of top quality dubstep.
You can pick this badboy up on limited edition black and white marble vinyl and also at the usual digital outlets. Pre-order is available now at Kaizen……

Alley Cat over at Kokeshi slipped us a preview of their newest release the other day: Kokeshi 004: Lung – The Remix 12″.
Lung released his debut record back in December of last year on Kokeshi to warm reviews. A deep, sexy, atmospheric journey into dubstep, it was compared to the music of Burial and his emotional take on the genre. Now Kryptic Minds have managed to take the star track, Afterlife, and make it even sexier.
Kryptic Minds have been featured heavily in the world of dubstep in the last few months, and their newest album “Can’t Sleep” is set to drop sometime next spring. Here, their talent for deep and brooding bass-heavy music really shines, and melds perfectly with Lung’s like-minded style. It’s a great track, a perfect lead-in to something aggressive, yet strong enough to stand on its own. The B-Side remix of Lung’s “Broken” by Irrelevant is also no sleeper, and continues the deep melodic theme of this record.
limited edition vinyl, and digitally at fine retailers everywhere. Recommended!

love part 2
Also thanks to True To Sound who’ve made a really honest and supportive review of the KM remix. There’s been a couple haters on youtube but the music speaks for itself ! Click image to visit the original review.
from True to Sound
“Yeah I’ve waited too long on this one. Hailing from Cardiff, Lung. is highly-talented dubstep/drum & bass producer. One of his most popular tracks to date is entitled, ‘Afterlife‘ and putting any remix of it aside, the original is simply brilliant. Dark, intricate, and to some extent enigmatic the beat is effortlessly abstract.
I stumbled across a remix from none other than Kryptic Minds around early July and i’ve been waiting for a better version to drop before I unleashed it on you guys but fuck it. Bearing in mind my love for the duo may make my views slightly biased, this remix is incredible.
One thing that is starting to piss me off ever so slightly is how some people are comparing the track to the work Burial and then have the nerve to say the duo are just copying his style. Hmmm… OK two things. Firstly, although Burial’s work is some of the best i’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to, you can’t just give him this entire sub-genre of dubstep. Secondly, other artists are and indeed should be trying to make something of a similar nature as opposed to slapping a few drops and wobbles here and there in their music. It really is a shame how some artists can just repeat the same trick in every track of theirs and get away with it.”

more Lung Reviews
here’s a cool one in french..
rough translation using some online ting..
thanks for the hyperdub comparison..
view online here
edit they have translated it to english now..better than my online translator..thanks ……
English translation:
We very recently mentioned the tremendous contribution that Hyperdub has made to the dubstep scene, by bringing this genre from the clubs to the comfort of our home. A few years after Hyperdub’s debut, followers are starting to break into the music business, inspired by the label’s flagship: Burial.
Lung, a young Welsh artist who has just released his first record with the brand new, London-based record label Kokeshi, can be considered a direct descendant of Burial. His Afterlife/Time EP is directly inspired by the deep, ethereal and vocal atmospheres of Burial. There are so many similarities that some would call him a copycat. However, as this is his first record, it would probably be fairer to praise his ability to synthetise, as his record is well executed and very promising.
Just like his spiritual father, Lung produces listening dubstep: a very round sound filled with pitched voices, deep bass and slow staccato rhythms. What mainly differentiates him from Burial is the clarity of rhythms: when Burial had rather filter in order to get an extremely diffuse and spatialized sound, Lung deploys clear, powerful and more centred rhythms. The atmosphere thus created is more real and probably more accessible to those who still consider Burial too abstract.
As Kokeshi’s second release, Afterlife/Time EP is a real achievement. It is available on 12″, but a digital version can also be bought from various online shops. To get a first taste of the record, visit Lung’s MySpace or Kokeshi’s website where you can find a few excerpts. In any case, we strongly advise you to keep an eye on these two pages to find more about the current releases or the following ones!
