Kenton Slash Demon “Sun” EP Tartelet 012
Kenton Slash Demon makes their live debut during Distortion Festival and first single ’SUN‘ from their EP trilogy ‘Schwarzschild Solution’ is on its way!
The Danish house duo Kenton Slash Demon is comprised of Jonas Kenton and Silas Moldenhawer, two young gentlemen who also form half of the rising indietronic pop band When Saints go Machine. They’ve been working on their electronic side project for a number of years and, since 2007, they’ve released music on numerous international labels and contributed to the revered Ministry of Sound compilations. In 2009, Kenton Slash Demon signed with Tartelet Records. Their Debut EP ‘Khattabi’ contained three groundbreaking slices of forward-thinking house music and it was especially the title track ‘Kahattabi’ that garnered attention – heavyweights of the scene such as DJ Koze, Luciano, Brodinski and Claude von Stroke praised the track and the magazine De:Bug wrote the following about the duo’s unique sound:’if you can imagine house music as an indian free jazz opera, that’s Kenton Slash Demon”.
After a busy year with DJ sets all over the world and many nights spent in their studio, Kenton Slash Demon are back with an EP trilogy called ‘Schwarzschild Solution’, named after the German physicist Karl Schwarzschild’s theory about non-rotating black holes in the universe.
The first EP ‘Sun’ is released on the 26th of July on Tartelet records and includes a remix of the title track by Bodycode aka Portable (Perlon, Ghostly International). The subsequent EPs ‘Matter’ and ‘Daemon’ are released in October and January (2010), respectively, and they offer exciting guest vocals.
The Kenton Slash Demon sound sidesteps the classic house formula as it combines the organic with the futuristic – their remarkable talent carry compositions and production much further than the classic 4/4 beat. With bubbling sound narratives, catchy basslines and interesting breaks they manage to create an intelligent structural take on electronic music that reaches far beyond the confines of the dance floor.
