Our last EP of the year is a special one as it marks one year of releasing records for Keep It Zen so we called on Ian Blevins along with remixes from Amsterdam's Frits Wentink and Berlin's Nick Beringer to end our year on a high. Ian Blevins is an influential name in the underground house scene and was mentioned by Resident Advisor as one of Ibiza's most talented residents. Years of passionately listening to and searching for music, both new and old, has seen Ian's style mature which has helped shape his own productions and his mysterious duo Al Gobi. Blevins kicks off the EP with 'NEXT'. Lots of rugged percussion keeps the track driving against glitched vocal lines and melodic synthesizers. ‘STABBATHA' tried and tested by Blevins at his residency for 'We Love... Space, Ibiza' comes at us instrumentally with a short stubby bass sound, hearty progressive stabs and a teasing arrangement that keeps the track moving. Frits Wentink has been killing it recently with releases on WOLF Music and Heist Recordings. His sound is somewhat special and unique which is clearly portrayed through his remix of 'NEXT'. Nick Beringer ends the record nicely giving 'NEXT' some real house love by incorporating his familiar deep sound. Nick has produced for a list of labels including Skytrax, Morris Audio and Deso Records. We're truly honoured to have these artists join the KIZ family. “The owls are not what they seem..."
