This month, Intermission invites you to step into a funky groove with artists who revel in mixing and matching elements: from disparate genres, through traditional and unconventional instruments, to an arsenal of effects.
Knalpot (Eat Concrete) is an Amsterdam-based duo defying easy definition. Roaming the pastures of Rock, Jazz, Punk and Electronic music, they mix up traditional and unconventional instruments with a host of analogue effect boxes and loopers. On drums, Gerri Jäger extends his instrument with a set of signature percussion – cowbells, iron chains, a milk foamer, and more. Raphael Vanoli plays guitar with his left hand and a Casio toy keyboard with his right one. Knalpot's music is a fresh original experience consisting of minimal song structures, low fuzz riffs, stumbling grooves, clouds of chirps and swirls, tranquility and sonic noise sections. Their self-proclaimed rascal style has a modernizing combo sound that is reminiscent of 80's computer game aesthetics, a taste of the sound of London’s WARP label and is played with Led Zeppelin Rock attitude.

Bass Clef (Blank Tapes) is the human manifestation of a secret geographical synching of Bristol and east London, the sound of both being heavy, sparse, dubbed-out plates of bass and drum, from the just-cut whites of Dubstep back through D'n'B and Jungle, all the way to the original JA sources. Recording analogue basslines, and whipsmart drum programming onto four-track tape, Bass Clef is the sound of structure created, Black Ark-style, on the fly in the mixdown through guitar pedals and FX units. Tricky like AFX but as warm and disarming as a bear hug off the Pastels.
