It seems like everyone’s favorite house-not-house imprint 100% Silk release more top notch oddities than any other label on earth. Honestly, my landlord’s recently asked if I’d considered taking a bigger room in a different house to just keep my 100% Silk cassettes in. He’ll be delighted to know, then, that just this week the American imprint announced a pair of brand new shit-hot releases, in the guise of NYC producer Kaazi’s Zen Travel, and Nightmare by Bludwork.
Zen Travel, the debut release from Kaazi, has been described to us, by 100% Silk main man Britt Brown, as “his first solo foray into vaporish house/electronic modes.” Brown also reckons it “has a dubby 1080p flavor to my ear.” We’d agree with him, and you can listen to the simmering and shimmering album track “Air” right here on THUMP.

The Bludwork release treads a similarly light and bubbly path, pitching itself somewhere between the jocular atmospherics of the Mood Hut crew and the kind of swampy, sub-tropical house you’d hear PLO Man playing out. The whole cassette’s a winner but our personal favorite is the ludicrously lush “Witness”.
Check out both tracks below.
