Kiite
Route 1 Audio: Free Downloads
Kiite is the first to feature in our new, multi-artist, free download series, introducing each member of the newly formed collective. Kiite’s contribution are the tracks Home, Smoke, Wise, Miss You and Deus. After his highly acclaimed debut Route 1 Audio release Sarva, featured on Get Darker, the London based producer continues to produce captivating and meditative soundscapes.
“Kiite rolls out with his solo debut EP on Route1 Audio bringing an EP of cinematic and introspective sounds perfect for those hazy late night / early morning journeys home from the rave.” — Get Darker, Sarva EP
Crafting music with intelligence, imagination and flair, Kiite’s latest addition of tracks are nothing short of inspirational, reminiscent of producers such as Synkro, Burial and Submerse. Combining modern cinematic atmospheres and ambience with chill-out style bass music. A large portion of Kiite’s inspiration derives from films, soundtracks, Garage, Grime and a childhood consisting of playing and listening to classical music on a regular basis. Kiite has aspirations of following his inspiration to work on film scores in the future.
The darkest of the selection, Wise, pairs eerie vocals with a haunting, eastern-style trumpet lead. Maintaining the ambient atmosphere felt throughout the previous tracks but this time executed with a noticable influence from the trap genre in comparison to the more garage-influenced Home and Smoke. Grab Wise now on Kiite’s soundcloud!
Home transports the listener to an emotive and elegant journey through sound. Subtle percussion, luxurious pads and ethereal vocals fuse together, with no sense of incompatibility, as the track embodies the sense of ‘Home’ perfectly.
Smoke contains gorgeous, colourful textures. An ambient introduction entices the listener before a slightly more dance-floor suited drum beat captures the limelight and commands the rhythm throughout the rest of the track. Alluring saxophone and heartwarming vocal chops combine to create a captivating feeling of ebb and flow.
Opening with an atmosphere reminiscent of the ocean, Miss You features heart-wrenching vocal cuts, downtempo drums and a guitar melody that will put the lisener in a dream-like trance. Kiite has truly mastered the essence, and skill, of creating emotive, electronic music.
Rounding out Kiite’s contribution to the free download series is Deus. An appetising concoction of faint-piano patterns, reverb-soaked electric guitar and charming vocal samples merge together to form an interesting, memorable track. His ability to use a variety of different sounds yet consistently preserve his signature sound is commendable.
The free download series will continue on a weekly basis with music from each member of the Route 1 Audio collective as things progress further.
