Genre: House

1. Polyester Static
2. Born A Day After
3. Polyester Static (Chez Damier Remix)

Kai Alcé returns to Real Soon with a new 3-track EP - his third release on the label following ‘Corner Manuvers’ (2006) and ‘Broken Headlights’ (2007). ‘Polyester Static’ features two tracks at either end of Kai’s stylistic spectrum plus a driving remix by House music legend Chez Damier. The title track is a classic mix of jacking synth bassline, Rhodes piano chords, pitched up cowbells and scat vocals. At the other end of the spectrum, ‘Born A Day After’ is another example of Kai’s deep, drowsy, beautifully constructed minimalism. On the flip, Chez Damier remixes ‘Polyester Static’, heading straight for the dancefloor with a rolling bassline, stabbing chords and submerged vocal. Kai Alcé is an Atlanta-based DJ and producer with roots in Detroit and New York. He has previous releases on Track Mode, Late Night Essentials, Real Soon & Moodymann’s Mahogani Music and in 2008 launched his own label NDATL Muzik. Tip!
