Swedish producer JONAS RATHSMAN already turned heads
thanks to a couple of impressive tunes released on imprints like French
Express or Disclosure’s Method White platform – offerings that got him
notable BBC Radio 1 support from Pete Tong, who went on to tip Jonas as a
“future star”. Still, his KX release NEW GENERATION / CONIUM holds all the
sweeping enthusiasm and momentum that you’d normally hear in a true debut.
The first track is a particularly strong entry point to Jonas’ definition of
dance, wrapping a heady bassline around some kinetic beats ‘n’ bells action,
while the flipside keeps its mojo afloat with a polynomial tapestry of
colorful synth riffs and propulsive effects. Another one for the books from
KX & Jonas Rathsman
