::Kiki – Tentacles::
BBC Radio 1 Premiere by Pete Tong for ‘Tentacles’.
‘Tentacles’ premiered in Dancing Astronaut:
“At this point, it’s certainly not breaking news that Berlin label Exploited is a global powerhouse in electronic music: Everything the label touches seems to turn into dance music gold. The label continues to push ahead in 2016 with no signs of slowing down, presenting two huge collaborative tracks from Berlin-via-Helsinki producer Kiki.”
‘Paradise’ premiered in Earmilk:
“ ‘Paradise’ has this ominous but intriguing build up that introduces a hypnotic array of sounds, complimented by looping vocals to give it that extra flair to catch your attention. With the help of Boot Slap to provide his own style, creating this concoction of a track that has this heavy yet soothing buildups that work will for any dazed dance floor in need of a getaway.”
First spin by Anja Schneider in her Dance Under The Blue Moon Radioshow.
