Review:

 

One of the most boring and repetitive production I have recently heard. Most of

the tracks is based on the same structure built with similiar samples. Because

of that, despite three tracks (1,7,10), the rest suffers lack of idea and is

just boring. In overall the tune is a psy-tech-trance with leading straight

kick and noisy, distorted samples. If you like such combination you may be

able to listen the whole album, I couldn't. 3/10

[Guest DJ Zen]

Well, nature harverest all tastes..I'm not on your side Daniel...

Here is a true killer album! It is totally part of the deliria's dancefloor!

Full-on to the bones, an ultimate bomb for all freaks! The production is

perfect and all traxs sounds great & fresh with a little GMS influence. I

think it's normal because Shanti who is part of this group was working with

GMS some time ago. If you want more info's see the whole story at

www.kagdilarecords.com.

 

1-SLIDERULER: What a great trax to start a dj set at 6 in the morning! The

bassline is hot & energetic.

It's surrounded by powerfull synth lines & noises. Stompy kick and great

twisted melodies. I give 9/10

 

2-RIDAMDICULOUS: Deeper side of their unique groovy style... After a slow

start, the psychedelic

sounds grows second by second and give to the listener a real good feeling at

the end.

Good trax to give a little "psychedelic break" to the people on the dancefloor

when the night

became too intense! I give 8/10

 

3-ONLINE GAMERLAND: It's groovy and full-on, the bassline is perfect for the

"gamy" style.

As i'm not a game fan i can't appreciate it to the max. If you like computer

games, you'll love

this one who contains samples alike electronic games but made by their own

synths.

It's totally original! I give 6/10 for the very nice groovy mood!

 

 

4-DRIP TECHNIQUE: Wow! A faster trax with plenty of energy! Killer bassline

again! ! !

a lot of psychedelic sounds who melts perfectly. It's a warrior trax! Play it

a 6 a.m to get

the people jumping and flying high! I give 9/10

 

5-BIG GAME HUNTING: Haaa...! After the precedent who is energetic, here is this

one who

will give to the listener another great bouncing feeling! ! More than a great

trax it's a psychedelic

groove so hard to find these days. Perfect kick, faster bassline, twisted

sounds melted together..

. Great! total success in creativity. To be played between 4 and 6 a.m depends

of the feeling you

have, but i can tell you it is the wicked trax on the album! I give 10/10!

 

6-K DILA: It's the calm after the storm of "Big Game Hunting". Here we go with

their unique

groovy style who separate them completely to the GMS style. Slower trax, good

to introduce.

A pearl to be listened around 8 to 10 a.m or to give a

funny-progressive-slower feeling between

6 and 7 a. m! Made in the name of Kagdila records! ! I give 10/10!

 

7-OUR DNA IS BETTER THAN YOURS: BIG kick and wicked bassline. Perfect in

progression.

Groovy & breathly to the bones. Play this one to see the people getting smiley!

Starts gently

and gets fire at 1:00mns. with a great opening. Here is the psychedelic sounds

who says indirectly:

"Our DNA is better than yours"... 'cuz we get higher and higher! ! . Stompy

trax. I give 10/10!

 

8-DARBIN KRUGER: We're diving more in GMS style. Surely different. If you're a

Deejay or

better if you make music you'll understand me. Yes it's close to GMS! But

listen well! . . . :

The introduction with his unique synths, the little melody, the different

cutted-edge bass

sound of the bassline... i'm sure you can hear now... the twisted sounds are

enginereed differently,

the mood is different. This trax try to say something to you..! Play around 6

a.m and see the freaky

people starting to tell you "more like this, more...! " (real dj-life

experience at Earthdance! )I give 10/10! !

 

9-SCI DEPT: Like trax 10 as you may know was released on Agriglyph records in

"Reality of Liberation" in 2001. This one have especially have a power intro

. Still the "Darbin Kruger" style but more twisted! The bassline is very

interresting,

changing all the time... I like it! Very creative... To be played between 5

and 6 a. m for bes

t psychedelic effects! I give it 9/10.

 

10-BRAINWASH: More energetic, faster, chaotic after an

"i-don't-know-what-will-happen-now"

nice intro! I love it, it's a great job and about the title i'm not

disapointed this "brainwash' is clear

and enjoyable! It's not as the other "brainwash" songs i heard before who was

terribly ugly & dark!

I promise you a "great brainwash" good for your spiritual health!!!!!!!

 

In one word, this album is more than worth to buy. The music is really creative

and not

"copyed-pasted". The people on the dancefloor will bless you a lot if you play

almost all this album!

Wicked killer full-on!!! All traxs are not containing a lot of voices samples,

you won't be disapointed

with a lot of unnecessary "bla-bla-bla"... Total success in mastering and

production it sounds perfect!

More like this, Kagdila records, please!

Kagdila Records in Los Angeles is out with their second album, this time by a

group called Frequency Deluxe. This is three guys. Shanti Matking, known as a

member of Growling Mad Scientists (GMS), Ken Small from California, a dj since

1989, also bin living in Japan for a few years working as a model and Alex

Cornfield making films in Hollywood.The first track is a full on stomper

influenced by the GMS sound, but more minimal and just rolling all the way

through. It has a few careful melodies coming in and out of the track. Track 2

is a little bit more varied, with more psychedelic sounds and breaks. Track 3

is a groovy track with even more psychedelic sounds. This track will probably

make people jump. You get a lot of GMS influenced sounds with this one. Track

4 goes the same style, but a little bit faster. Track 5 is really fast and

totally full on! After a few minutes you get a nice morning melody too. Track

6 is a pumping track. It goes slower, but isn`t very varied for the first

couple of minutes. Then you get a nice funky melody that saves the track.

Track 7 is more full on again, with a lot of twisted psychedelic sounds.

Pretty cool track. Track 8 goes the same direction. This sounds a lot like

GMS. I`m not a big fan of this style, but if you like GMS stuff, you will like

this one. Track 9 is very stompy. GMS sound, but lesser varied. They finish

their album with a really fast full on track. Noisy sounds and rolling rhythms

all the way.

 

With this album I missed some more variation and maybe a chilled track at the

end. But if you like the full on sounds like GMS, this might be the right

choice for you.
