“No-one does 140 better than the UK, the way it gets done here is different and I really wanted to explore that…” King Kashmere is an experimental musician from North West London. Best known as a voice of distinction among the UK rap fraternity and frontman of decorated duo Strange U, much less is known about his work as a producer. After years of fine tuning his craft, King Kashmere reveals ’Zero Point Modulations’, his first full length release as executive producer / from behind the boards. A feature-stacked, genre-blurring spectacular that shines a powerful light on what Kashmere sees as his true calling, the 23-track release marks the start of a long-awaited shift in King Kashmere’s output; rooted in the coding boom of the mid-eighties but encapsulated in a double disc vinyl this Summer.

I was fascinated with coding and how games were made. I was equally fascinated by the idea of being in a music studio, in a leather swivel chair, surrounded by hardware. My first thought is always ‘how are they using these machines to make those glorious sounds?’ I’ve been meddling with beat making since the late nineties, but it wasn’t until 2010 (when I bought an old laptop from Farma G) that I was able to delve deeper. When I began formulating the first ideas for Strange U I knew production was my true calling. Working with Zygote took things to another level and definitely inspired me to learn more. We would bounce ideas back and forth and before long I was producing full songs in my own time - the God Status stuff, Old Children, Chuck Enzo, I went on a journey of discovery and got totally lost in it. ‘Zero Point Modulation’ has been five years in the making. It is largely a 130 / 140 BPM record. The main aim was to experiment with different genres other than hip hop; grime, dub, dubstep, but develop ways to make the production process authentic to me and my journey, which will always lie in sampling. Once I had bottled the energy it became clear that I needed to recruit emcees to mirror the energy. No-one does 140 better than the UK, the way it gets done here is different and I really wanted to explore that… The album brings together legends of that style but also emcees who might not be known for faster flows. It is an experiment in bringing people together, coupling energies that are both expected and unexpected, but also, exploring the many different sides of sound that I am into in order to showcase different sides of my music making…” TRACKLIST: 01 - ZPM Intro02 - Kulcha Feat.
