Is another EP from D.K. about to land on Antinote while the first one has been announced only a month ago Well, this looks very much like a series and - spoiler alert - Riding For A Fall EP is the second installment in a trilogy. With a BPM crossing the 120 line on 2 out of 3 tracks, there's little doubt that this second 12' is also meant to be played in a club environment. The 9:37 min long Voices sprawls over the whole A-side. Like many productions stamped 'D.K.', the structure is linear only in appearance: it winds up and down between fantasized exotic landscapes, digital plug-ins mimicking 'far east' instruments that are barely recognizable. It gets even snakier with the Samurai Showdown-inspired Shoubuari (Battle): pixel swords brushing past our ears, martial drumming and menacing synths (D.K., were you the kind of kid who owned a Neo Geo) - it's pretty obvious that we're in the world of SNK's legendary fighting game. Things calm down with Riding For A Fall: less button-mashing, more concentration as we're witnessing the sacred martial art known as Street Fighter's quarter circles... But enough with these video game metaphors! No need to be a pro-gamer to enjoy this piece of music. It's sad & slow house music with a cinematographic quality - and, perhaps, the most moving moment in this series of 12'. To be continued...
