>> 01. mental tsp - "control implications"
Tee Parham is not wholly unfamiliar to visitors of Kikapu; he is also
one of the men behind the Karl Zeiss project, which was one of our
first releases nearly a year ago. mental tsp is Mr. Parham's solo
project, and he has decided to offer an exclusive release through the
Kikapu site. He states that "the idea behind 'control implications' is
that of social systems as machines and the concept of the individual
within those machines, while at the same time being motivated by global
tension and personal isolation." mental tsp explores the more
experimental side to his music in this release, with fully digitized
slices of dub breaks and glitchy microbeats hovering over a bed of
droning synths.

>> 02. Rokoa - "Music For Breakfast"
Tom Ka has been releasing .mod and .xm files for years from his humble
abode in Wroclaw City in Poland, but this time he has decided to step
out from the shadow of his Amiga and produce his first-ever mp3 release
as Rokoa. These two tracks really are the perfect soundtrack to one's
early morning wake-up, with beautiful melodies that float over some
soft glitchy beats, all while putting a big smile on your face.

>> 03. Gustav Björklind - "Bök"
The Swedish takeover of Kikapu continues with our latest release from
Gustav Björklind. This release is in a bit of a different direction
from what you might call a past discernable "Kikapu sound" with a
definite microsound influence. Gustav claims Miles Davis, Kompakt, and
coffee as an influence for these tracks, and it shows. Abstract
techno with minimal clicks and cuts for breaks, these tracks are a
great example of Gustav's style and a very welcome addition to the
Kikapu catalogue.
