Fallen Vs Eclipse

PAL, an occasional grouping of the individual artists behind Plein Sud and Undo Seat Belts, the album is a love letter to Parc Royal, the place Kiosk Radio has called home since its creation in 2017. The 9 tracks move effortlessly between downtempo, spoken word, and ambient, never sacrificing the groove and power of the outcome.

I can remember literally bolting across a busy warehouse party in the early 90’s (I think it was actually DIY in Gloucester?) afterhearing a record come on which immediately stood out to me, hadn’t heard it before…. A clear 303 single note bassline/hook with sublime strings and undeniable flavours of Detroit and Chicago in the drums and vibe. I needed to know what it was!!That record was “Northern Lights” by Caucasian Boy (AKA Crispin J Glover and David Jenkins, AKA DJ Shakra), and I have honestly been playing it ever since. Fast forward 28 years, and here we are releasing their new acid house monster, the Remote Control EP.

Originally released in 1991 on the New York based label Metamerism, it came at a time when artists were experimenting with instruments and machines, blurring the lines between genre or style to get to the soul beneath their fingertips. The Frankenstein-esque nature of this sound can be heard across this sprawling 3 tracker, and the EP has garnered cult status online, with the few copies available reaching up to £100.
