Kiwi's New EP is More Microhouse Than a New York Apartment

When Duke Dumont's not getting nominated for Grammys or lighting up festivals and clubs around the world, he runs a mysterious lil label called Blasé Boys Club. They're about to release The Mara EP by London producer Kiwi, and we've got the first listen.

The three-track EP opens with the titular number, a 120bpm groover with a stubby mid-synth and detuned descending bloopy sounds that'll get you jackin'. The funktastic "Gerenuk" follows. For the curious, the track is named after a long-necked antelope found in Africa. It sounds like future-disco-of-the-past or what Daft Punk listen to while they eat breakfast. Last comes the Duke Dumont edit of "The Mara." It has a little less wonk than the original, but keeps the microhouse feels.

It's a solid release from the DJ-turned-producer – Kiwi's a regular at the The Nest and XOYO in London, so let's hope this release gets him stateside. Also, we think he likes cats.
