Kill The DJ happily brings you the first release by RMVN, aka Roman Flugel and Ivan Smagghe.

For those who know (them), it was only a matter of time before these two end up together in a studio : they're not only friends but also share a big piece of musical culture, a love of strange electronics and a refusal of 'club music' conformism. The result of this predestined collaboration could only be unique.

'Uno' was recorded two years ago in Frankfurt, strongly infused by the Robert Johnson spirit. It is a piece of slow burning minimal bleepy disco which stays away from being 'nu' (in the 'sounding old' sense). Ewan Pearson loved it so much that he picked it up for his Kompakt mixed cd a year before its release.

'Amen Adorno', recorded in the It's a Fine Line studio in London, testifies of Roman and Ivan's love for early rave music without being a retro cliche. A mix as undefinable as a vintage Dimitri from Amsterdam set, one will hear italo,breakbeat, epic strings and Nathan Gregory Wilkins even found it quite 'jazzy'.

Remixes come from two more recent additions to the Kill the DJ stable.
Clement Meyer (whose ep for us will be out very soon, including the already much sought after romper stomper') turns 'Uno' into a dark and moody club burner.

'Amen Adorno' is drowned in the swamp by The Eyes in the Heat, a band (yes) lead by Oliver Ho (of Raudive fame). We will talk more deeply about them very soon, but they confirm with brilliance one of the KTDJ axiom : rock and electronics never exclude each other.

Early support from Michael Mayer, Optimo, Ewan Pearson, Geoffroy Mugwump, Tiga and more...

This is the second release (Chloe remixes already available) of KTDJ digital serie.
