Anonymous engineer Man Power delivers the Kiloton EP for Correspondant's 26th release, available in both digital and vinyl formats on 14 April 2014. The producer's recent contributions to the label, including a track on Compilation 02, feature corrosive riffs and irreverent stylistic mixing. Kiloton presents a tighter sound complimenting label signatures of
acid-laced, dramaturgical warm-ups and off-kilter body workouts.
Man Power opens Kiloton with Balearic beats and chugging 303 acid, summoning a Soca-style saxophone intervention, then stirring discordant synths into a sonic whirlpool. All sound is momentarily sucked into a silent plateau, before plunging back down to ride out the track with new momentum. In his outerworld rework, Hardway Bros' Brit Sean Johnston pitches down the original, swerving into low-slung 80s styling and leaving behind galactic static.
"Parenthesis" is built around samples from a '71 conversation between critical philosophers Chomsky and Foucault on the need for creative freedom in human labor. Man Power creates urgency around the tempered delivery of Chomsky's words with escalating, acid-drenched pulses, distorted echoes, and distended synths to simultaneously soporific and provocative effect.
British producer and DJ Raudive turns out a cold-blooded, high-octane rework of "Parenthesis". His minimalist composition puts a driving kick drum at the core, and the narrative is compressed down around the directive matrix of "Work" and the encircling echoes of "Repression – Oppression – Destruction – Coercion". Raw electricity jolts bones.
