First Word Presents: Konektiv Elements 

label: First Word Records 

released: 01 June 2012 

style: hiphop electronic jazzy abstract afrobeat breaks

format: 320kbps mp3, FLAC,.... 

Konektiv Elements is a South London based collective of musicians, producers and vocalists. From the abstract vibes of HIGHYENA to the futuristic space jazz of Ruby Rushton Experiment and the wonky hip hop and house of Henry Wu there is a coherent line running through it that is unmistakably KE. On this introductory compilation the aforementioned names are joined by multi-instrumentalist Ben Hauke, the idiosyncratic broken beats of Sounds Of the Cosmos (aka Wayne Francis of United Vibrations), CDR regulars Soundspecies and two projects from Tender Ed (Stepsons / Katy B) - Tenderlonious and Edward ElSegundo. 

tracklist: 

1. Hifi 03:50 

2. Opus One 01:39 

3. The Weirdness 04:05 

4. Camberwell Interlude 01:30 

5. Cupcakes 01:48
