PREMIERE: Kaap - Dead On Arrival [De Lichting]

Amsterdam-based collective and imprint De Lichting releases the first solo EP from one of its members, Kaap. Known for his passion for analog gear and a signature dubby take on House and Techno, Kaap delivers three original cuts highlighting his masterclass in the studio.

'Dead On Arrival' is a multi-dimensional and skillfully executed trip that, for ten minutes, slowly unfolds each element and builds a rolling tour de force that blurs the lines between Micro House and Dub Techno. 
At first, every layer seems repetitive, but if you carefully listen to them, you'll hear a whole micro-universe happening in the background tweaked just enough never to get dull.
The main driver of the track is a rumbling bassline. However the real magic happens in the background of cosmic and drone pads that build a foundation for distant bell melody, which creates an atmosphere of well known, and here at Delayed beloved, German Micro House (think labels like Dial, Smallville, Giegling, Kann).
We are well familiar with Kaap's brilliance in the studio, and this EP proves that this incredibly talented artist has a lot to give in the coming years.

'Omen' EP is coming out in June via De Lichting
