Data Transmission Podcast 965 – Kyle Kinch Tracklist
Kyle Kinch steps into the Data Transmission Podcast for the first time this week, bringing a mix packed with rolling house pressure, sharp club selections and a serious amount of unreleased music.
Kinch has spent years carving out a sound that sits somewhere between house, disco and techno, always tied together by groove. Jazz and disco remain at the root of what he does, but his records are built for proper rooms. That approach has taken him onto Gorgon City’s Realm Records, Sonny Fodera’s Solotoko, Nervous and EMI, with support from CamelPhat, FISHER and David Guetta along the way.
He was the first artist outside Gorgon City themselves to release on Realm, with his ‘Manchester’ EP helping establish the sound that has since carried him through Ultra Music Festival, Printworks, Brooklyn Mirage, Tobacco Dock and EDC. Add a Duke Dumont remix and sets alongside Claude VonStroke, Kaskade, Chris Lake and Gorgon City, and the picture is fairly clear. Kinch knows how to work a dancefloor.
The mix reflects that. Pietro Pellizzari opens proceedings before Kinch quickly starts dipping into his own vault. There are five solo Kyle Kinch IDs in here, alongside unreleased cuts from KC Gilmore and Drew Pree, My Friend, Alex Mills and more. Wh0, OFFAIAH, Ammo Avenue, Kepler, Boss Priester, Flashmob and Jack Marlow keep the energy moving between chunky house, swung drums and late-night low end.
There is also ‘Pressure’, Kinch’s collaboration with OFFAIAH, plus ‘TR8’ with KC Gilmore and Drew Pree. Released on Walker & Royce’s Rules Don’t Apply, ‘TR8’ is built around deep sub pressure, loose drums and the kind of swing that keeps a room moving without trying too hard. The three friends started the record while jamming on TR-8s, and that shared studio chemistry runs right through it.
For a debut podcast, Kinch has not played it safe. This is a proper selector’s mix, full of private weapons, new collaborations and enough unknown material to keep the tracklist watchers busy.
Turn it up and get stuck in.
