Cloak & Dagger by Dubesque

Self-styled ‘personal bass masseuse’ Dubesque returns to the Kneaded Pains label with two punchy and powerful cuts on the ‘Cloak & Dagger’ single. The Austrian DJ/producer has been busy of late, firing out quality releases for labels such as Eats Everything & Andres Campo’s EI8HT imprint, Tiga’s Turbo Recordings and Arcane Music.

A thunderous production is accomplished on ‘Clock & Dagger’, as a prophetic vocal hook takes centre stage on this dynamic and thumping big room techno track. Accompanying cut ‘Automatic’ utilises some rhythmic toms for added funk pressure, as incessant keys and vocal chops stab intently over a swinging groove.

Coined originally as an offshoot label to Dense & Pika's self penned label, Kneaded Pains has now taken off into it’s own orbit with a slew of Techno weaponry from new and established artists alike in the shape of Mark Henning, Melody’s Enemy, ONNO, VONDA7 (et al), each release custom made to ignite those tougher leaning dance-floors.
