Round Table Knights

MTP035 Round Table Knights - Say What?! Album Sampler by Made to Play

Father Christmas is not the only bearded crusader on the scene this festive season... the other bearded crusaders, Round Table Knights will be releasing their Say What?! Album sampler on the 20th December, exclusively on Beatport.

2010 saw their first EP for Made To Play 'Calypso' get signed on the spot by label boss Jesse Rose and from that point on we knew to expect more than just elevated quality and boundary pushing house music. Never delivering an output that could be considered 'typical', their chivalrous kudos as remixers was also duly noted with projects on Gomma and Defected, thus turning some serious heads.

For the album and album sampler's title track 'Say What?!' Ogris Debris's introspective vocal talents are drafted in. They then jump in again on remix duties delivering two absolutely massive version for the club. Completing this tantalising preview to the album is 'Cat Power', a sub level groover interlaced with a soulfully intoxicating vocal that, unsurprisingly, already has some serious support with the big names on the underground. With 'Say What?!', the boys have created one of the freshest and most fun hybrids of 2011, with a free mind and the skills to back it up.

Me Succeeds - Riemerling (Arp Aubert Remix) from me succeeds on Vimeo.

The two Hamburg based acts Me Succeeds and Arp Aubert are responsible for the first part of a Ki Split Series. On the EP named after the city in the north of Germany the two acts combine their friendship and musical preferences to remix each other and contribute one very own track on each side.

Me Succeeds, with their members Mona Steinwidder, Sebastian Kokus and Lorin Strohm, is a part of Hamburgs Labelcollective i saw music and their songs combine Indie Pop with electronic beats and chords.

Arp Aubert consists of the two founding members of Mirau Records: Stephan Lorenz and Marco Niemerski. Niemerski is better known for his productions as Tensnake.

The Ki-Split 1/3 (Hamburg) is truly a family matter. Because of their close friendship, Me Succeeds and Arp Aubert have created a very intense and emotional record. By remixing each other and combining their musical background this release turns out to be a very special one for Ki and the acts themselves. The Cover was created by Me Succeeds in well known Ki tradition to make this piece of music something special and memorable.
