about

Our 12th release of 2021 brings you two tracks to whet your appetite for a special upcoming release: a special limited edition CD of 2017's 'Inconvenience Me'.

Cape Canaveral, aka London-based artist Kevin Sorsby, has been crafting his unique sound for over two decades. His first outings as Cape Canaveral were in the early 2000s when he was involved in the creation of Machine Records.

We sat down with Kevin to discuss these tracks:

Dan: What can you tell me about ‘Seven Dollars’? What's a reference point for this sort of track? For me it invites words like angular, edgy, it’s a track that goes through violent metamorphosis, and then you find uneasy equilibrium in an unexpected groove…

Kevin: On this one, I can say there was no overall idea, it literally evolved as I heard the sounds. There is a fulcrum point where it changes quite dramatically in feel.

Dan: Yes, that change is what I come back to, an uneasy equilibrium out of amazing tension.

Kevin: I think of the second half as a kind of hyper-dub. The finding equilibrium comment you made kind of is a perfect description of a reference point. I think I tend to do that a lot in different ways, tension/release, unease/calm.

Dan: And what about ‘Unknown’? I have words like: 2am, lost transmissions, fragile, memories, static, Detroit…

Kevin: I am interested in lost/found sounds and of things like static/radio hums. I like that this track combines those to some degree. The original idea was quite cold and removed but I think it ended up being quite warm and like you say, radio-like.

Dan: The synth sound brings a classic sci-fi Detroit dimension to it for me, which I love. A genre that is often seen as cold and removed i guess! But I find it a really emotionally charged track, very evocative. Not sad, but wistful or reflective.

Kevin: My choice of sounds had a nod in that direction. There is room to explore cold and warm. Slight reverse to ‘Seven Dollars’, but that is a cold ending that finds some warmth when the groove arrives. I like with ‘Unknown’ that it feels like it's going to take off, but it doesn't really and goes down a softer, less defined path. I like that gear shift, not going from 1 through to 5 as it suggests, rather going from 1 to 3, ending up in 2.

Dan: It is quite different to, but for me it also definitely connects with Burial's sound in some ways? Although not sure that is a point of reference for you?

Kevin: If I had to identify a specific reference point on a lot of my tracks, ‘DJ’ed’ on Tortoise’s ‘Millions Now Living…’ is probably up there. That just covers a lot of bases for me. Groundbreaking.
