After making an indelible mark on electronic scene’s history through anthems like “World Cup”, “Beautiful Place” and “Living in Space”, Kiko’s rise to prominence has resulted in an eclectic discography of warehouse-ready anthems. Now, the industry mainstay unveils the third collaboration from his forthcoming “Digital Family” with the summer-ready banger, “Superdata”.
Expertly melding heavy percussion with striking synth work and rhythmic instrumentation, “Superdata” continues to set the stage for his highly anticipated next project. The track demonstrates the undeniable, palpable chemistry at work on the track as trippy percussion bounces off an undercurrent of hypnotising basslines. Encapsulating two decades of innovative tracks and influence within the techno-electro world, “Digital Family” is set to host collaborations to a number of key figures from Kiko’s career including Agoria and Rodriguez Jr.
Speaking about the track and its inspirations, Kiko explains “At the beginning, I was inspired by the “Respect is Burning” parties in Paris in the 90s, which led me to propose collaborating on this track with Étienne. He added his touch, perfectly in tune with the ambiance of those parties. Together, we recreated the atmosphere of his productions with Motorbass and Superdiscount, in a style reminiscent of Daft Punk’s early works.
I had never seen his studio before, so it was all new to me. For the track, I spent two days there, divided into two work sessions. The first session took place in the afternoon of my arrival, and the second on the morning of the next day. Everything was wrapped up quickly! I had brought a track that Étienne replayed with his analog machines, including a KORG MS10 and a TB303 Roland. We built the structure together and he handled the mixing. We got along very well, and everything went very fast. For mastering, choosing Alex Gopher was a no-brainer. He did an excellent job on the track.”
