Review:
Well established US label Muti Music's latest signing, Knight Riderz, mark their debut on the imprint with a nicely varied six track EP. With four stand-out tracks, namely "Mind Riddim", "More Fire", "Six 2 Midnight" and "Mind Riddim Dub", Knight Riderz have certainly delivered on this one. While Juakali's vocal on the atmospheric dancehall influenced "Mind Riddim" jacks up the energy, "Mind Riddim Dub's" tantalizing sparse use of the vocal elevates the track to new heights. With finger clicks and water droplets, "More Fire" is intensely deep and atmospheric, intricately bubbling along and seemingly drawing influences from old 8-bit video games. With more 8-bit bleeps and melodic arpeggios, "Six 2 Midnight" captures a slice of nostalgia for the 80s generation without alienating the kids that will inevitably be shocking out to this one. A great release!
