Third step of Antitracks series and twentieth release of Antistandard Recs; we're about to become adults!
"Antitracks C" is the 3rd episode of a three-tracks selection by three different artists, selected extending the connection between three distant but close places at the same time, all around 160 bpm: London (UK) with Skenghis Kahn; Putignano (Bari, IT) with RAIS; and Encarnación (Paraguay) with Qetsy.
✮ Skenghis Kahn, East London based with releases on Dib Discs, Patchbay and Reptilian Establishment, wraps clicky percussive sounds and dark bass movement together, focusing on the space between genre. This space lends lots of creative potential as it's freed by classification and cam roam freely in the sonic wilderness.

Clap!, Peggy Gou, and many more.

Active with 10 EPs, 7 albums and compilation releases on labels such as Mega.rec (Barcelona), spinneret (New York), District160 (Minneapolis), Abyss (Buenos Aires), Antistandard Recs (Milan), Juke Bounce Werk (Los Angeles), Footwork Reddit (Poland) and Adaadat (UK).
