- Keysound Recordings are excited to announce a chromatic collaboration from two family members aided by an international cluster of voices. “Gated” began life as a lush percussive instrumental that sat between gqom & UK funky’s offbeat percussion house’s padded textures and reggae’s low-slung subs. It became a pivotal record at Keysound Sessions: scattering light into dark corners. Then three vocalists from three different countries made their twists on it: yard-style UK garage vocalist Specialist Moss South Africa’s Ruffest known for their work on LV’s “Sebenza” album and Jamaica’s Shokryme an affiliate of dancehall’s Aidonia and the Equiknoxx crew. The latter was recently featured on Toddla T’s Jamaican Freshman freestyle 2016. The EP was “hot mixed” live on an outboard desk in east London by Okzharp and Samrai; each mix a one take moment laid down.
