KWIKFIKS

Amongst our cluttered pile of promo CDs, we stumbled across Montreal Bass Culture Vol 1, a collection of tracks from obscure producers complied by Canadian label Pointé. Admittedly it’s a pretty mixed bag, but some of these anglophiles have drawn inspiration from the UK scene and cooked up beats with a fresh sense of vigour. Among the gems is 20-year-old producer Kwikfiks’s My Heart, a tune with tension building crescendos and ice cold synth chords that encourage repeated plays. Other highlights in Kwikfiks’ catalogue include the euphoric I Love You which might not make it to overseas club soundsystems, but we sincerely hope it’s soundtracking late- night inner city drives for Montreal’s bass-hungry insomniacs.
