Background/Info: KPT (pronounced as
‘kept’) is an American project I never heard of before. It seems like an album
entitled “Blk Eye” was released in 2016, this EP December 2017 (!) and the
single “Fluid Bonded/Disarm” in 2018. It’s a bit strange to have gotten this
production a long time after its release, but it’s an opportunity to discover a
promising artist.
Content:
“Sequel” was composed for
a short film. It features the title track plus 4 remixes. I discovered a
somewhat IDM-inspired track, driven by a slow rhythms and featuring industrial
sounds.
The remixes bring a real
diversity to the title song. From the bombastic “Deathdance Mix” to the
experimental “Makr Mix” to the more elaborated “Sweet Boys Mix” to the
deep-techno like “DJ Esp Woody McBride Mix” this EP has a lot to offer.
+ + + :
“Sequel” is an
interesting title song, which is experimental, but accessible. I like the
industrial sound treatments and the global minimalism of the song. The remixes
bring a real great diversity and I especially recommend the “Deathdance Mix”
and “DJ Esp Woody McBride Mix”.

I wanted to hear more
songs so I had to visit the Bandcamp page of KPT and I was not deceived.
There’s a noticeable minimal touch inspiring this artist.
Conclusion:
KPT is an easy name to
keep in mind and I definitely want to hear more new stuff from this project.
This EP stands for a nice twist between different influences.
Best songs:
“Sequel – Deathdance
Mix”, “Sequel”, “Sequel – DJ Esp Woody McBride Mix”.
