KNLB

While the resurgent Vibraphone may be known for its silky smooth deep house confections, the Italian label also has other interests guiding its musical policy. The seemingly unknown KNLB steps up to prove this on Initialize by serving up a rich and engrossing broth of tracks loaded with depth and detail. Second Wind takes on a slow breakbeat trip with lingering piano sprinkled on top, while Apollo comes on like a warm and energised twist on dub techno motion. Initialize heads for a more introverted kind of house, which Minimono then infect with a bouncy energy on their remix.
