Release Notes

KHYAN 'African dissonance EP' Khyan picked up his first set of 1210's in 1997 after being drawn into the House scene. Taking inspiration from the soul & disco he'd been bought up listening to, Khyan found himself with frequent DJ bookings as he gravitated to London at the turn of the millennium. He duly sacked off his day job and has gone on to perform at countless clubs, bars, parties & festivals across Europe, Asia & Africa since then. After chalking up a few house remixes and a Discovery Channel series soundtrack, Khyan then formed the band 'Afterculture' which saw releases on London's Broadcite label & French imprint 'Soulab,'. Spurred on by this achievement, Khyan has been working on solo material which is now coming to fruition with more releases on Broadcite. Big things to come for 2010! EP details: Dynamic deep house with a seriously heavy low end, the African Dissonance EP juxtaposes traditional African instrumentation & rhythms with controlled harmonic discordance. Drawing inspiration from the elements and using exotic musical scales that sound unusual & fresh to Western ears, this EP has a dangerous edge to it that is guaranteed to garner attention from the dance floors.
