* 140gm vinyl in charcoal black reverse-board disco bag, with red/ hot pink/ blue/  
off-white pa erned wraparound s cker, and embossed play:musik icon on front  
sleeve.  
* Ku n Edge arrives on p:m with (115), a musically adventurous set that draws from  
a range of influences - West African funk, UK and US electronics, Autonomic moods,  
minimal techno, and Brutalism; while a focus on analogue feel, overdubbing, and  
textural detail processes e it together. An interes ng, experimental, yet firmly  
dancefloor friendly EP.  
* Tracklist:  
A1. Onyeabor: a unique track full of vintage-sound synths, bright melodic lines,  
Moog-style arpeggios, and rhythms built on a CR78, layered with live drums,  
tambourines, and bass guitar. Disco funk samples and fx add texture, alongside heavy  
overdubbing. Inspired by early William Onyeabor aesthe cs.  
A2. Dark Horse: Dark Horse: an atmospheric arrangement of phase-y pads  
reminiscent of the peak Autonomic era, filtered through the abstract lens of ar sts  
like Actress or King Bri . The pacing and nega ve space give the tune a weighty but  
airy feel, punctuated by heavy toms and documentary-style foley. Soulfully cosmic.  
B1. Loop Me: polyrhythmic arpeggios, swirling delays, unstable harmonic structure,  
and chroma c movement form a tense, shi ing progression. Built around a single bell  
sample, the track is reshaped through layering, modula on, subtle changes in  
texture, and filtered transi ons. A techno stepper.  
B2. Geiger Scale: experiments with playful but controlled randomness, minimal  
structure and off-grid sequencing. The idea centres on a toy synth with loose notes  
and laidback groove formed of irregular, rhythmic pa erns. Geiger Scale perfects  
restraint as the arrangement bubbles along with sparse melodies. Smokey and  
potent.
