Led by “In The Grips Of It”—which blends IDM, progressive, and trance elements with an updated take on the experimental UK sound of the ’90s—the lineup features Evenkick’s deep trance and industrial breakbeats, with contributions from Peryl, who has also collaborated with Rødhåd, as well as Berlin x301C;Leipzig duo Kinzua. This release is absolutely fantastic.

CINTH’s new installment, Kinzua‘s 5-track EP Never Fret, Never Fail, presents a focused examination of UK-inflected memory, immersing the listener in dissolving traces of IDM, Breakbeat, Jungle and Trance. While the archival recollection of 90s Britain provides an almost hauntological emotional frame of reference, each track maintains its autonomy, allowing Kinzua’s particular approach to sonic and rhythmic detail to emerge clearly. The meditative thread that marked their earlier releases runs through the EP once again, counterbalanced by a nearly industrial rhythmic energy, that keeps it suitable for the more attentive and considered dancefloors.

Kinzua is a live duo consisting of Marvin Uhde—a DJ and producer who also releases music under the name Qnete—and Lucas Brell, founder of Sun Sad Records. Having released tracks on Vladimir Ivkovic’s label Offen Music and Elena Colombi’s Osàre! Editions, they now present their second release on their own label, Confusion is next to happiness.
