There are electronic music artists who simply have no genre to slot into easily, or at all. Artist’s whose music sounds truly unique and impossible to define according to any one genre. The likes of Four Tet, Flume, Burial, Aphex Twin, all need a whole paragraph just to describe the music they make.
Gauteng producer and DJ, Kimetsu, is that kind of artist. Within his songs, one can faintly hear the influence of genres like techno, house, lo-fi, jazz and even world music, but these are revealed like far-off figures, almost hidden in a landscape of hypnotic, sometimes melancholy, sounds and broken rhythms.
Host of the show, Richard Rumney, breaks down the elements of Amapiano as an example of how music genres follow certain unspoken rules and then goes on to chat to Kimetsu about his artistic travels that have lead him to this point and his remix of Jinji's '6PM in Daveyton' the track featured in the previous episode of Ear To The Sound.
Other music used in the show includes:
kimetsu - hair (flipped)
kimetsu - isqedasebroccoli (edit)
MHMMD - Motions (feat. kimetsu) [take1]
All recording, editing, mixing, mastering and artwork by Richard Rumney.
