Ka§par – Alma-Máquina EP (Incl John Beltran Remix)

Integrity Records welcomes one of Portugal’s finest Ka§par with its latest release. Fusing jacking grooves with acid synths and raw percussion alongside three original tracks is a remix from the influential John Beltran. Lisbon based artist Ka§par has championed his analogue sounds on labels ranging from Gerd’s 4Lux to the iconic Dutch imprint Clone. His machine funk style is a melting pot of influences including funk, dub, jazz and hip hop. US stalwart John Beltran has released tracks and remixes on highly respected contemporary imprints including Bicep’s Feel My Bicep, Delsin, R&S Records and Peacefrog. With a back catalogue that spans over two decades, his timeless style has resonated through dance floors across the world.

“Boytoy” opens the release with a heavy kick drum and acidic bleeps before “Tangible Knowing” takes the reins with soulful vocal textures blended alongside a funk-fuelled bassline. Getting dark and more tech-inspired, “Plunge” is the last of the originals. John Beltran closes the release with a deep techno rework of Boytoy, which is a stripped-back remix blending his trademark ambient textures with key elements from the original.

Ka§par ‘Alma-Máquina’ EP will be released on the 16th of June, 2020.
