about

For the 46th episode of KEY Vinyl, Rome’s very own Conrad Van Orton returns for a third round with Kenosha Kickers, a three-tracker that masterfully blends a fun and warm energy with the technical skill of a techno veteran. In fact, KEY’s legacy started exactly with Mr. Van Orton, back in the good old 2011. Because yes, time flies but quality is timeless. So let’s dive into it.

Each cut on this release reveals the producer's knack for infusing both cheekiness and finesse into his sound, making this a must-have for the colder months ahead. The A-side ‘On Point’, is actually really on point. As the days get shorter, this one will keep your spirits high. Fast-paced and playful, the combination of a thick, bouncy bassline and jazzy, spirited chords creates a lighthearted groove that will bring smiles to dance floors everywhere. On the flip, ‘I Request Another Dream’ delivers a vibrant, more eclectic sonic landscape. A peak-time gem that unmistakably carries Van Orton’s signature style, this track balances intensity with diversity, making it the perfect addition for anyone looking to elevate their collection with something fresh, yet familiar. Closing out the EP is ‘Open Sea’, a rhythmical exploration of dreamy broken beats and lush, smooth pads. This one feels like floating on a tranquil ocean, delivering a deeper, more serene mood while maintaining a steady pulse. It’s an elegant conclusion to a release that offers a range of emotions while maintaining cohesion in its sound.

With Kenosha Kickers, Conrad Van Orton showcases a versatile offering, which we must say, is definitely a must have.

Man I am a sucker for the harder techno with the sort of innovative sound design often associated with lower BPM's. The mangled dubby vampire-bat vocal snippets on on "The Hive" really do it for me. I picture these tracks also working well pitched down -8/-10 which might add to their ominous tone. jonarmst
