PREMIERE: Alfonsvs - Physical Education [Kokölò]
Portuguese label Kokölò return as Alfonsvs delivers his ‘Bad Habits’ EP, backed by a remix from Answer Code Request.
Founded earlier this year, Portuguese label Kokölò made an immediate impact with its debut release(that we had the pleasure of premiering) from anonymous artist and label founder Rave Child, gaining support from the likes of Laurent Garnier,.VRIL, Patrice Baümel, and Nathan Micay. Up next, the label turns to another member of its collective as label event programmer Alfonsvs makes his first outing on the imprint. Returning after a brief hiatus, allowing time to find and refocus his sound, he delivers his first EP since 2017’s ‘44th Romance’ as he showcases his musical influences and unveils two powerful originals via his ‘Bad Habits’ EP - accompanied by a warping remix from Berghain resident Answer Code Request.
‘Physical Education’ is a powerful techno voyage that combines dubby stabs, icy hats, and punchy drums to crescendo towards a euphoric ‘hands-in-the-air’ moment.
The EP, mastered by Conor Dalton at Calyx Mastering Studios, features artwork from young illustrator David Duarte - with the design showcasing his visual interpretation of the title track.
Alfonsvs ‘Bad Habits’ drops via Kokölò on 28th October 2022.
