Acid Pauli (@acidpauli) and Nico Stojan’s (@nicostojan) Ouïe label acts as a home for left-of-centre music from disparate sources – somehow connected by a thread of hedonism with a melancholic edge. Welcoming Kerala Dust (@keraladust) to the imprint, this four tracker showcases the different dance floor shades the label always reaches.
Kerala Dust is a London based trio that owes as much to Tom Waits as they do to Four Tet or DJ Koze, but somehow tread a fascinating line between genres and moods. Mixing jazz, indie and the sharper end of the club sound, Francesca’s Frames is the perfect introduction to their vibe.
‘Maria’ is augmented with a thick, mid-tempo kick and sparse, effective percussion. The clever vocals provide the topping – showcasing the band’s pop writing prowess. The track will appear as a single release on 6th April accompanied by a music video.
Acid Pauli and Nico Stojan’s remix picks up the pace a little while dubbing out the elements into deep, late night dance exploration.
‘Nyla’ brings a new vibe, deep, pulsing synths and a bubbling baseline accompany the crisp, compressed rhythm track before Ed’s iconic croon arrives to take the track to a new level.
‘Wires’ balances occasional piano chords, horns, blips and beeps with a nicely understated tech house groove. The seemingly disparate elements combine to create a vibe that will go over big with the parties and dance floors within the ever-expanding Ouïe ecosystem.
