After the phenomenal success of his previous "Elder Spirit" EP, label boss K2T unleashes the second sampler EP, "Mvua", to prepare us for his debut LP to come. Four new tracks are included in this package - two solo tracks, as well as collaborations with frequent studio partner Option, and newcomer Echo Motion.
Gliding in with mysterious pads, the title track, 'Mvua', showcases deep piano chords that pave the way for a choppy, melodic roller. Crispy percussive fills accentuate the track, allowing K2T to effortlessly shuffle the rhythm and flow of the music, keeping listeners on their toes.
'When Breath Becomes Air' sees K2T team up with Option after their "Restrained Light" single on Riddim Records. Eerie atmospherics envelope the track, developing into a monstrous halftime tune with glitchy vocals performed by K2T himself. This is one track that will catch any fan of K2T & Option's signature collaborative sound by surprise.
Following this, we have the fusion of two label bosses, K2T alongside Echo Motion of Bay 6 Recordings. 'Arctotis' features a beautifully delicate piano melody with ethereal atmospherics, evoking a Winter-like vibe. By constantly switching up the drum work in the track, we're left with a tune which rolls, bounces and flows smoothly in every direction.
K2T travels alone on the final track, leaving 'Footsteps' to close the EP. Uplifting pads and a smooth saxophone line give rise to an easy, jazzy, Drum & Bass tune. Live basslines, rhodes and pianos add to the organic aesthetic of the track, showcasing K2T's style of demonstrating that less can be more.
With his debut LP imminent, K2T has once again displayed his versatility both as a solo artist, as well as in collaboration with friends, with four distinct tracks ready to get all sorts of different crowds moving.
