BASS/IDM/BREAKS. A 12-inch release on Berlin's Awkwardly Social from dadan karambolo, a producer based in Wrocław in southwestern Poland.

The vinyl debut EP from dadan karambolo, who has been turning heads with experimental sounds spanning dubstep, breaks, jungle and techno out of Poland, and has been active on the party/label SPOLT as well as UK and EU radio including NTS and Rinse FM. Supported and played by Pinch, Om Unit, Peder Mannerfelt and Toumba. (Original Japanese text by Saito)

It’s been a hot moment, so we can’t wait to finally announce the next EP on our Awkwardly label, “a hack is a foul“ by dadan karambolo.

Safe to say he’s been on our radar for a while, so we’re mighty excited to welcome the Wroclaw-based producer on AWK005. After a strong debut release on his co-owned SPLOT imprint, an equally solid LP on Regime Brigade as well as contributions to various compilations, dadan is back with his signature moody, bass-bin shaking sound.

Hitting the sweet spot somewhere between dubstep, grime, breaks and ambient techno, these 4 tracks provide a somber yet seductive quality that invite the listener to get lost in a hazy amalgamation of stylistic elements. Rest assured, this combination of low end and rhythm heavy explorations contains the right formula to cause some damage on the dance floor.

DJ picks ups and plays by: DJ Voices, EMA, Ehua, Kassian, HAAi, Ila Brugal, Jaye Ward, Mani Festo, mi-el, Nala Brown, Om Unit, Peder Mannerfelt, Pinch, Stenny, Sybil, Tom Ravenscroft, Toumba et al.

AWK005 is set for release on Friday, October 20th 2023. As always, many thanks and much love for everyone’s support and feedback!
