Will Lowes is the mastermind behind Krinks. Between Chemical Brothers and Dom Jolly is where Krinks has placed himself. He strives to make dance music that can bring people together whilst also showcasing his unique and infectious sound. Fresh from writing a score for indie breakthrough film All My Friends Hate Me, he’s now just dropped a well-flowing mix tape that is sure to get you up and moving.
Ethereal tracks such as “All I Know About Meditation” feature swirling synths that are sure to entice you in, creating a colourful melting pot of music. Whereas tracks such as “Is a Warning” are sure to get you moving with heartwarming synths, infectious grooves and understated vocals. It’s quite clear from listening to the whole mixtape that Krinks wants to blur the lines between beautiful instrumentation and pounding dance music.
Discussing the release, Krinks explains:“The Al Gore Rhythm mixtape contains 9 tracks, spanning the era of the birth of Krinks. It moves from mediative spoken word (All I Know About Meditation) via sleazy dance floor jam (FamJam) through to filmic closing number (It Stings Alone). Not to mention the singles that display a more melodic side to Krinks (It’s Burnin’ Off, Is The Sun Out Yet?). Inspired by surviving serious illness (his wife), welcoming to the world a new life (his daughter) and many, many years on the great dance floors of the world.”
Krinks makes dance music the old fashioned way, mixing desk, sampler with modular synthesiser going crazy in the corner. A lot can go wrong, which is where the fun is to be found.
