New Kanada enters the summer season with a hot three-tracker from Toronto's XI (Orca, Hotflush). Fusing techno, house and \''what-ever that sound is coming out of London\'' these days, Christian Anderson (aka XI) brings the futuristic party to the shaking subs of the nation. \''Joy / Fear\'' is a monster bass killer dropping somewhere between Sheffield and Chicago. Aggressive, powerful drops, splintering swing, and a melody that will stick in your head until the early morning. \''Nitelif\'' is the gentle bass jewel sweating in the corner of the room. Delicate, rushed and heavy - this one breathes space and suffocates the bins. The closing cut, \''Antikythera\'', pulses with night moves and summer heat. Tricky, twisting basslines give way to blacked out campfire anthem. Pure tension.
