The French project KAS:ST just released an insanely fun (and unexpected) Psytrance Track under HI-LO’s Label HILOMATIK. Just recently, the project was a duo that turned solo as of March of this year. This might’ve worked for the best, as this year has been major for KAS:ST. The track might be very non-chalant in nature, but we surely give a F… you know what I mean.
‘DGAF’
The track has the vital elements of Psychedelic Trance. A tasty high-speed, galloping two-beat bass, withlots of synths and a melody to die for. But plot twist, KAS:ST then fuses some Techno elements, into it, with aggressive vocals, some acid reverbs, and that sensational tire screeching sound that reminds us of a Formula 1 circuit. This track proves a whole new direction for most of the artist’s most recent work, including tons of slower Melodic Techno, with significant collaborations with ARTBAT and Gordo. If anything, this track reminds us of older KAS:ST work, such as the A Magic World and Road To Nowhere LPs. This might prove a change of gears in Manuel Sene’s trajectory as the sole member of the pseudonym.
KAS:ST
The French Project KAS:ST started as a Duo with members Manuel Sene and Karol Herse. Now led by Sene alone, his hypnotic and melodic dark soundscapes have gathered support from artists such as 999999999, Tale of Us, HI-LO, and more. Coming from a professional soccer background, Sene is now based in Spain, touring Europe and the world, driving his sound forward. You will soon find him playing at Loveland in Amsterdam and at one Seismic Dance Event In Austin, TX.
Now it’s time to let loose and pump it up! Say it with me, we ‘DGAF’ :
