Review: Nkisi - Initiation


Nkisi started releasing music in 2014 and quickly became known for her tracks which combined hard-hitting, dancefloor pumping beats with dark and introspective moods, sounds, feelings.
Later output by her was more following along lines of experimental Techno, Ambient, and generally obscure and twisted rhythms - which was very interesting and inspiring, too.
But with this 12" on the new label Initiation Records she definitely digs up her own "Hardcore / Doomcore" roots again.
Frantic, crazy, wicked structures, an advance of distorted drums, sounds and FX, and general sonic brutality.

Not in the sense of "mindless" Gabber / Speedcore, of course! This is infinitely deep, soulful music at its core. Just that is a carried by an extra serving of noise and belligerence this time.

On a special note, fans of tracks in the vein of Fischkopf, Anticore or Sans Pitie might especially enjoy this release.

Available as a 12" vinyl and digital EP.
