Label boss NKC's first release 'HD Anthem' follows DJ JM 's debut EP in January.
In 2016, NKC began Even the Strong with the intention of bringing together new DJs and producers working at the crossover between tribal house, UK funky, kuduro and other drum-heavy genres.
At some point in the process of ETS's events, the term 'Hard Drum' emerged as a jokey shorthand for the sound, and has now firmly stuck.
These three tracks were developed in 2016 and became set-staples at the parties. The title track 'HD Anthem' is the hard drum anthem; rugged tribal house hits, tuned perx pushed just off the grid, and the rattle of chain-link fences. 'Next Life' centres around a hypnotic crash processed to an extreme crescendo, before breaking into a brutal tom loop. ' Codeine Crash' samples the robotic dembow roll of Akito's 'Codeine Claps', layering with hard cracks to create a whipped back groove.
