Kamo from the DBCO collective, and one of the organizers of the up and coming Bongo! Nights at Muse has recently submitted a single for your listening pleasure.
“Influenced by a series of fantasy novels set in a fictional feudal Japan, Otori sees Kamo tapping into his Asian roots, with a nod to the oldschool jungle/drum n bass sound. His first “properly thought out” dnb track, it’s a deep, rolling tune with uplifting strings, steady beats and a minimal bassline.” ~ Suffian, January.

Otori - Kamo (Promo Single)
We stumbled onto the DBCO collective and Bongo! Bootleg after tracking the movements of Assault and Battery, winners of a Pioneer competition a couple of years ago. Since then, Basil aka Battery, has been working closely with Irman aka Spacebar and Suffian aka Kamo, as well as undergrounders like Beatmonkey, DJ Define, Mac. Who have, in an a huge exodus, differentiated themselves from Loops Collective to form their own big sound.
Since then, we’ve been blown away by the quality of musicianship with all the producers and DJs associated with that clique.
Members of ‘The Works’, Shinji and Hanif, two of the most promising progressive hip hop representatives have recently demonstrated their technique to me, with Hanif via his 1-day production mastery and Shinji via his unconventional, ego-free rhymes. I walked home with my mouth catching insects. They have also promised to submit stuff to Foundationkl.org in the near future.
Additionally, longtime member of the ultra-underground, Beatmonkey have recently resurfaced. Stretched flat with his extremely tight schedule designing automobile aspects, he has also agreed to submit stuff in the near future.
We will definitely be tracking that.
