Junk Mail and A.M.C Join Forces with New Single ‘Blocklist’

 

Award-winning cinematic bass duo Koven have just revealed the final chapter to their anticipated ‘Higher Ground (Part 1)’ EP, which comes in the form of festival set opener Industrial Strain. Having been a staple on the touring circuit this summer, ranging from festivals such as Glastonbury, to Tomorrowland and EDC Las Vegas, it epitomizes why the beloved duo have become a mainstage addition globally. Following singles ‘Take it Away’, ‘Lions’ and ‘All We Needed’, it’s an impressive offering to a diverse collection of records, each paying homage to Koven’s signature emotive penmanship.

Koven share, “Higher Ground’ has been a really fun and unique experience for us. Historically all of our writing happens remotely but this time around, the music was written over a few days at a writing retreat. This also presented opportunities like working with Max’s old music theory teacher, Simon Dobson, who helped us with all the string arrangements alongside the Parallax Orchestra. That wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t accidentally bump into him whilst on the writing retreat. Since the album [‘Butterfly Effect’], we set ourselves a new mantra of ‘leveling up’ and being the best version of ourselves, and that’s the meaning behind ‘Higher Ground‘. We hope you enjoy ‘Part 1’ and we have even more to show you on ‘Part 2.’

Returning once more under the Monstercat banner, a figurative home for Koven where they released both their ‘Butterfly Effect’ and ‘Butterfly Effect (Deluxe)’ LPs, they continue to explore a range of dance music genres in their robust compositions. Already securing support from tastemakers including UKF and BBC Radio 1, their Higher Ground (Part 1)’ EP ushers in a new chapter set to redefine the pair. ‘Industrial Strain’ incorporates what Koven are best known for; drum & bass with empathic emotion. The precision and depth of Max’s production merged with Katie’s earnest song writing and vocals is perfectly embodied through ‘Industrial Strain,’ a track which has marked itself with its epicness by the crowd’s reaction on stage to tens of thousands at Belgium’s Rampage Festival.

Having spent the lockdown period further sharpening their craft, as well as showing the breadth of their creativity through their virtual reality space Another Home, Koven are proving to be artists in the truest contemporary sense. And now Higher Ground (Part 1)’ is complete as dancefloors have returned around the world, leaving fans eager for more to come in ‘Part 2’.
