Premiere: Know V.A. – ‘Vomar’

Amsterdam duo hook up with Liquid Amber...

DJ Shadow inaugurated the Liquid Amber label last year, following this by kicking off a fresh series of Digital Dubplates.

Since then, the imprint has unveiled new material from a host of producers, all touched by the influence of hip-hop culture.

Amsterdam's Know V.A. is a two part production team, fusing shuddering hip-hop beats with a keen awareness of electronic advancement.

'Vomar' is a dark, brooding instalment of Digital Dubplates. The steady, mechanical beat is set against rumbling sub-low textures and jittering, near 8-Bit style beats.

At times, its rock-hard 140 tempo even recalls grime, all while establishing an identity of its own. Check it out now.
