Releases KAZKO – Retro Love [Dopamine White] By Release Promo Posted on 22nd April 2022 5 min read 0 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Reddit Share on Linkedin Moving into 2022's second quarter, Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes KAZKO to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from the progressive music hotbed of Sri Lanka, Kaveen Suraweera aka KAZKO first emerged in 2020 with a string of tech-house oriented releases, before finding his way into progressive house with releases via 3rd Avenue and Another Life Music in 2021. 2022 has seen the Colombo resident continue to rise, adding projects for Antrim's Strangers Beats, Droid9, SLC-6 Music and Transensations Records to his resume. Continuing his prolific ways, KAZKO now makes his much-anticipated Dopamine White debut with 'Retro Love'. Getting the release underway and sitting as one of KAZKO's most powerful productions to date is the title selection 'Retro Love'. Smooth and rhythmic in all the right ways, its charged beats, undulating groove and electric pulses set the foundation for waves of wispy effects and emerging chord stabs. Arpeggiated fragments bring further colour leading into the main break, where a tight rhythmic theme rises towards a devilish drop, and a finale that is equal parts percussive and atmospheric. The companion piece 'Nice Dream' follows a similar sonic ethos and sits as an ideal complement to its predecessor. Its upbeat groove is perfectly contoured, adorned with buzzing effects and a maze of driving percussion. Haunting overlays advance the narrative, adding depth and emotion across the first act, before eventually giving way to an expansive break. Clocking in at nearly two minutes in length, the centrepiece melts down to a bed of bubbly arps, ghostly refrains and sizzling effects, perfectly setting the stage for a groovy drop and epic conclusion. It rounds out a stunning two track offering from KAZKO, who makes an excellent debut on Nikko.Z's Dopamine White with 'Retro Love'.
