about

{𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧}
KTSNS releases music with the intention of providing broad and radical DJ tools.

The first series of releases focuses on tempo, exploring how different sensations of time can be created with the same BPM. All the tracks in each release have the same BPM, as indicated in the title. For our third release, we’re proud to present 135 EP by Erik Luebs.

There are no doubt many DJs supported by the diverse and fantastic music released monthly by Erik Luebs on his Bandcamp page. Among them is KTSNS founder Romy Mats, who has twice invited Erik to perform at Kaitai Shinsho, including for its 5th anniversary party.

Since our early days, Erik has been a vocal supporter. “ I’ve long been a fan of Romy Mats’s event “Kaitai Shinsho” due to the eclectic bookings and meticulous interior decoration. When I heard that he was launching a label to complement the event, I quickly expressed my interest in providing music. After eating Japanese BBQ together, Romy invited me to contribute an EP for release. He had one condition: no four on the floor kicks. ” - Erik Luebs

Each of the four tracks that comprise this EP embody elements that Erik admire about Kaitai Shinsho. “All Cut Up” is a minimal, broken beat twist on acid techno. “Ice In My Veins” is a bulky tool for bridging the gaps between electro, breaks, and techno. “Clenched Jaw” is a pounding percussive number for peak time play. And “Synaptic Jitter” combines the percussive intensity and playful acid elements of all the previous tracks for a celebratory finale. All at a versatile 135 BPM.
