Review

Kai Alcé returns to Real Soon with a new 3-track EP - his third release on the label following ‘Corner Manuvers’ (2006) and ‘Broken Headlights’ (2007). ‘Polyester Static’ features two tracks at either end of Kai’s stylistic spectrum plus a driving remix by House music legend Chez Damier. The title track is a classic mix of jacking synth bassline, Rhodes piano chords, pitched up cowbells and scat vocals. At the other end of the spectrum, ‘Born A Day After’ is another great example of Kai’s deep, drowsy, beautifully constructed minimalism. On the flip, Chez Damier remixes ‘Polyester Static’, heading straight for the dancefloor with a rolling bassline, stabbing chords and submerged vocal - irresistible pure House music in the best tradition! Kai Alcé is an Atlanta-based DJ and producer with roots in Detroit and New York. He has previous releases on Track Mode, Late Night Essentials, Real Soon & Moodymann’s Mahogani Music and in 2008 launched his own label NDATL Muzik.

RS019 in the media

Gerd Janson (Running Back): “Good one. Nice to see Chez Damier back on track and producing/remixing again...when he feels it, so do I!”

Giles Smith (secretsundaze): “Loving the moody, live, jazzy "Born A Day After". Super nice, will play early on in sets. Was not sure about CD remix at the beginning as one of my fave producers ever but think its a grower... ”
