Kaiju

Stepping up to the plate are a freshly signed act considered by many to be a driving force behind the underground sound. Kaiju’s arrival on Lion Charge is a testament to their versatile value and engineering expertise within sub-bass constructs. Echoing the offbeat aesthetics of soundsystem music, Lionch003 is a hypnotic roller of dubwise riddims and dread-line melodies. Unity Dub progresses under syncopated piano chords, and scattered horn riffs effortlessly mixed with accentuated guitar licks. Exercising dub fundamentals, Kaiju place prominence on the drive of the bass skank groove and one-drop rhythm drumbeat. One for the steppers. Rudebwoi, an extension of the dubbed out formula, opens with a classic reggae organ-shuffle before a vocal signals a vibrant flow of staccato style piano chords, King Tubby guitar licks, and reverb-soaked horns sealed in a swirl of invigorating drum patterns.
