Premiere: Kabinett – Warning Sign [Natural Selections]

5 Minute Read

Music

Raw, rhythmic, intricate percussion and off-kilter melodic ideas woven into proper post-punk territory from the Bogotá producer.

The Kabinett once gave a Warning Sign, On a bright Selectionable morning,
With percussion so intricate and queer, That the dancers all gathered to hear.

They danced on the Volcano’s peak, Where Alt-Disco romantics speak,
In psychedelic swirls they’d spin, While edgy basslines tumbled in.

And so on Selection Number Five, The dancers remained quite alive,
Warning all who came near to say: “The Kabinett’s sound is here to stay!”

There’s a mechanised pulse at the heart of “Warning Sign” – the sort that rattles through empty streets at 3am when the city’s shed its skin. Kabinett strips everything back to pure nervous energy, all fractured guitar stabs and a bassline. The percussion locks into something hypnotic whilst the textures of the rest of it flicker like dodgy neon through fog.

It’s the opening salvo from Dance On The Volcano, the Bogotá producer’s mini-album for Natural Selections – five tracks of intricate percussion and off-kilter melodic ideas woven into proper post-punk territory. Raw, rhythmic, and unapologetically tense.
