Krupnik: "16 Stages" is a six track ep that covers cut-up, breaks led technoid grooves and the type of electronica pioneered by Pilote, Charlie Ferrari and early Skam. Highly melodic, playful, full of crunchy beats, bleeps acute edits and an attention to detail that recalls a trained musician as opposed to a bedroom tinkerer. All releases on this label come nicely wrapped with their own individual identity. Recommended.

What their label says...

16stages is the solo project of England-based artist Joseph Kaye. Joseph begun as a classically trained musician and later started his first electronic experiments during the days of Amiga trackers. He's been busy exploring electronica ever since and has performed live in the UK and Holland under the names 'Theme' and 'Monkian'.
'Krupnik', his debut release, is a rich and evolving mixture of funky synthlines, dirty breakbeats and bright textures. The music is rooted in modern electronica, portraying a huge palette of bleeps, noises, grooves and atmospheres. Using these elements, 16stages paints colourful images ranging from the most relaxed and nostalgic to the most tense, blending the aesthetics of videogame and classical music (two of his greatest influences) as he effortlessly combines everything into a meaningful and cohesive mix.
