Kornel Kovacs - Szikra - 12" Vinyl

2018 repress. Szikra is Kornél Kovács at his most wistfully nostalgic. Ultra-smooth keys offset by noisy lo-fi breakbeats and vocals, urging you to git fucked up. Off-kilter playfulness is paired with the cocky swagger of a south Stockholm roughneck and an infectious pop sensibility that lingers in your head long after the needle hits the inner groove. The so-called "Bónusz Beat" is actually a track in its own right, sacrificing most of the hook and the vocals for a dubby smackdown ripe for adventurous dancefloors. Abdulla Rashim closes out the set with a perfectly horizontal techno groove, using only elements from the original production.
