Kingdom is an artist who seems to be producing music for a genre of his own. His diverse use of instruments and the playfully experimental way he arranges his songs means he is churning out banger after banger. This track is the first of two that I want to share.
His remix of 'Thrill Seeka' takes a completely new angle on what is at heart a frantic dirty electro-house tune. All the energy and pace of the original is sapped away and replaced by a lonely, deserted landscape of a track. This is no bad thing though. The song is sectioned off into different drum beats and a variety of other percussion sounds are then thrown in on top. This is followed by a series floor-rumbling low bass ripples. The result - a refreshingly original track which doesn't play by any conventional rules.
Even the cheesily high pitched vocals offer no detraction. Rather than ending up sounding like some 14-year-old bedroom producer, just speeding up an original vocal track, the vocals used for Thrill Seeka work brilliantly as a compliment to the harsh & sparse drum beats. Echoey, moody, stirring - an impressive result considering how they are still at heart some cheesily high pitched vocals!
