R.Kitt returns to his Orainn imprint with Kinda Strange, his first dispatch of original material since 2020 and most succinct dancefloor statement to date. Two energetic pumpers steeped in melodious warmth and kinetic intimacy that are primed to soundtrack the field dancing season
ahead.
This latest single from the Dublin-based musician finds itself in radically different circumstances to its 2020 predecessor Orainn 02. Needless to say, R.Kitt has spent much of the time in-between embracing his beloved dancefloor again both as spectator and musical provider. These experiences have confounded our subject, whilst relieved at dancing’s return, also finds its current iteration Kinda Strange. In response, he delivers his most potent statement to date on the third installment for his label.
Fast Breeze answers the question “what if Tony De Vit was a Café del Mar resident?”; galloping along a pumping hard house core smothered in a warm balearic intimacy that drops in wistful ecstatic glee throughout its blissful duration. Feeling Kinda Strange is a shade moodier, where a nagging feeling haunts this nocturnal techno roller. Punchy arpeggios signal the intent, before emerging into daylight by embracing a dew-glowed ambience that offers a true-to-form optimism. Club music, but brazenly honest; we wouldn’t have R.Kitt any other way.

I just love how this music takes you on a journey. And the accompanying paragraph on Bandcamp likely composed by the artist, Mel Keane, is an absolute treat. blayze hembree
