Here’s a beautiful album by KRTS released on Berlin’s Project Mooncircle. I’m a huge fan of the previously released Hold On EP, which was the deepest experience I had with KRTS music. You could then understand how excited I was when learning of a full length album by the New York based producer. I don’t listen much if at all to 4/4 repetitive beat sequences but when it comes to Project Mooncircle they have this signature sound that trumps all. And KRTS has this unique sound and precision that can't disappoint. So check it out if you want.

quoting;

In 2011 we saw KRTS breaking free from the boundaries of NYC’s five boroughs, releasing his first EP, Hold On, with the Berlin-based label Project: Mooncircle. The five tracks of Hold On represent the organic, heavily emotional and lively style of broken-beat, fusion jazz, boom-bap, and dubstep. 
With the end of 2012 comes The Dread Of An Unknown Evil, KRTS’s first LP for Project: Mooncircle. With bass-culture styles reflecting the darker side of everyday reality, the album explores themes such as fear, apprehension, doubt, angst, and sorrow, with the prevailing dread of an unknown and uncertain future—always there, peering around corners, waiting and watching. 

“Your Eyes“ features Stevee Wellons — a soulful diva and KRTS’s own mother — telling the story of lost loves and abandoned hopes. 

“Knuckle Under“ is an immediate cinematic ride through the chaotic New York City underground, each bass line like an elbow to the shoulder, spinning you and pushing you down until it all turns black. 

“Something New“ featuring sibling Jon Hairston on vocals, is a plea to love and the risks involved when we hold hearts back. 

The ten tracks of The Dread Of An Unknown Evil form an intimate LP from a musician battling to make it between cities, families, loves, losses, and futures — on to the next chapter.
