Italian duo Kryptonicadjs have been making the rounds around the international electronic circuit for a couple of decades, with a career spanning the UK, Italy, and Ibiza, performing, producing and promoting their own events, even opening their record label, called Kryptofabbrikk Records, in 2011.
Their latest release is ‘Fresh Jam’, a fast-paced techno track that carries a mean, growling bassline. Elements like echoing voice samples and spastic drum-rolls give it a dub-like vibe, punctuated by the jabbing beat which makes fine use of crispy hi-hats, ticking snare shots and razor-sharp kicks. This means that it’s a tune where percussion is the driving force, dominating the floating landscapes created by synth pads, stabs and effects, all led by a grinding, acid bassline that bubbles like hot lava.
With ‘Fresh Jam’, Kryptonicadjs have crafted a track that pays homage to the steppin’ sounds of Jamaican music, reminiscent of the tight rhythms of dub and dancehall which have contributed so much to today’s dance music.
