Dublin-based artist Kormac returns with his new album Doorsteps released on Bodytonic Records on October 20th.
The origins of DJ Kormac’s recorded output can be found in dusty second-hand stores and junk shops where he spent countless hours unearthing archaic and forgotten music.
Fascinated with the recordings and movies of another era, he amassed a collection full of vintage instrumentals, jazz drum solos and spoken-word pieces which would go on to form the basis of his sound.
This forgotten material was twisted, morphed and shaped into the instantly recognisable and idiosyncratic style heard on his first two EPs and debut LP, Word Play.
Are you ready for dust-coated scratchy-needle vintage sounds featuring Micah P. Hinson, Irvine Welsh, Speech Debelle, MC Little Tree and many more?
Well, new album Doorsteps is full of them…
It is all wonderfully nostalgic. With icy drops of rain hitting stained glass windows. And great big blousey horn notes that stretch-out, yawn, and blurt.
Fanfaring big-band sounds and ska-snorting rhythms also reign supreme here – but there is also some elegantly beautiful piano keys – cold lurking near the higher ends of the tracks.
And, ofcourse, there’s the synth-rap-beats that will help you work your heinie off.
If you like quirky rhythms and intriguing inventions between your pulsars of twinkling light – then you have come to the right place!
