Last month was fire! To keep the ball rolling we've secured Djauni Mantey-Worrall, the Wellington, New Zealand producer, DJ and visual artist better known in international bass music circles as Kakapo (named after a native New Zealand bird).
Over the last four years, Djauni has been publicly working towards this goal. Along the way, he's DJing around New Zealand and Australia, sharing bills with Kutmah, Zacky Force Funk, and Lunice and released music with leftfield labels Cosmic Compositions, Yusoul Records, Forward Thinking Sounds, in the process fine-tuning his sound and approach.
In late March, Djauni gave us a clear read on where things were at with the release of his The Prevoke EP. Made up of four precise short songs, The Prevoke hangs around a collision between pitch-manipulated vocal samples, woozy post-dubstep basslines, chattering jazz and 2-step style rhythms and lush dub production techniques.
