Atlanta-based DJ and producer Kai Alce returns to Real Soon for his second release on the label following Corner Manuvers in 2006. The Broken Headlights EP features three cuts of the purest, rough & ready, deep, abstract house music from one of music's up & coming producers. On the A-side, Kai demonstrates his subtle production skills as he creates a beautiful balance of chopped beats and floating chords. The title track 'Broken Headlights' combines stuttering, broken drum parts, deep sub-bass and warm emotional chords, woven with a light vocoder-like synth part and crunchy percussion. 'Gravity' is a dreamy, live-sounding arrangement of grainy beats, modulated chords and chiming keyboard notes. On the flip, 'Hi-Lee Teched Off' is a raw, looped piece of deep Detroit house, soaked in gradually building and shifting Rhodes chords; a great DJ tool in the right hands.
