After a three-year hiatus from solo production (spent composing for video games and commercials), and a cool fifteen years since his last release with Clone/DUB Records, Kettel now finally marks his return to both with his feature-length Wingtip LP. The influence of a certain enigma of early electronica is unavoidable when listening through to Wingtip‘s fifteen tracks – notably in today’s Debut. “Cardinalbaby” is a modular voyage through space, bringing the melodic intricacy and fuzzy synthesiser patterns idiosyncratic of early Aphex. An LP that spreads the retrospective love from start to finish, Kettel manages to tick all boxes – as a respectful tip of the hat to a golden age of music whilst still able to stand independently as a convincing, authentic whole.

Kettel’s Wingtip drops fully on 7th March 2016 via Clone/DUB. Pre-order a copy now (2LP or CD).
