Detroit’s interdisciplinary artist Kesswa has stormed onto the scene with her reimagined EP, ‘Soften [Deluxe Edition]’. After gaining recognition on Theo Parrish’s DJ-Kicks mix, Kesswa’s original four tracks have been remastered and enhanced with three new additions, including a stellar remix by leading 313 producer 2Lanes. Fans of John FM, Theo Parrish, Sudan Archives, Goldie & Diane Charlemagne, and 4Hero will find this release a must-check.
The original EP’s standout track ‘Open’ captivates with its ambient soul vibes, while ‘To Find’ offers a mesmerizing blend of liquid drum and bass. The intense ‘Contemplate’ combines robust woodcut percussion and spine-tingling pads, creating a powerful composition. The new additions to the EP are equally impressive. Kesswa’s 2023 remix of ‘Contemplate’ infuses radiant pads and a proper Detroit techno step, giving the track a fresh perspective. The opening track, ‘WAV’, takes listeners on an exhilarating journey through Motor City’s broken beat scene. Additionally, 2Lanes, one of Detroit’s most promising talents, presents a mind-blowing remix of ‘Contemplate’, immersing it in a deep, darkroom acid mix. With its hi-tech jazz and inventive Detroit broken beats, ‘Soften [Deluxe Edition]’ is an essential release for fans of forward-thinking electronic music.
