The first vinyl release from !Kaboogie’s label wing features four tracks from 16 Hertz, Thatboytim, Prince Kong feat. Jah Balance and Lakker is out this week via City Discs and Spindizzy. Featuring four “bass-heavy dance-floor wreckers”, if you’re into electronic music, dub or bass, you’ll want to hear this.
The opening track on side B from 16 Hertz is built on a snatch of a brass sample, a half-stepping beat and some nice oozing sub-bass.
You can hear 90 second samples here. Number two in the the !Kaboogie Records vinyl stable is Prince Kong’s Well Sick EP coming soon.

“The opening track from 16 Hertz…” that’s side B
I’ve got a digital copy, I’ve just realised there’s no tracklisting hence this.
But isn’t it good?
nice, very nice, love that cheeky brass stab. must grab the ep, seems like the quality control at kaboogie’s gone way up since the label sampler last year. quality.
ah was just being pedantic 🙂
A1: Prince Kong feat. Jah Balance – Rise Up
A2: Lakker – Unexpected Error
B1: 16 Hertz – 16 Tons

hope the next ep will be as good (all prince kong from what i’ve heard on the grapevine)
