Konque |
 |
Konque is a music project and record label helmed by Sasha Kaline (Alka_Rex) and David Last. Their tracks keep an experimental edge while retaining the jacking energy of club music, and the skanking bounce of classic ska and rocksteady. They have mutual interests in tape music, modern classical, asian percussion music, as well as dub reggae and other forms of classic Jamaican music; these influences are clearly present but not always obvious. The results of chance collide with overtly musical compositions, edges are probed and interiors are explored. A coherent whole is made from ideas that may seem contradictory on the surface; yet it is these contradictions that create the contrast which fuels a sudden feeling of epiphany. Konque's music is a search for sonic abandon, a freak parade of churning texture, with rhythm as the glue. Separately, Sasha has released with Musique Risquee, Thema and Mille Plateaux, and David has released with Staubgold, The Agriculture, and Foundsound. |
