REVIEW: Kahwe - San Salvadore EP out on Anjunadeep


Joe Cowie aka Kahwe has cut his teeth in the clubs of North England, warming up for the likes of Levon Vincent, Ben Klock, Leon Vynehall and Prosumer at his Selective Hearing residency. Meanwhile, his first two EPs on Anjunadeep have been acclaimed by Resident Advisor and supported by Laurent Garnier, Larry Heard and Mr. G.

His growing reputation as a DJ has also taken him to Ibiza where he played the notorious Space Terrace, and with his eclectic new ‘San Salvadore EP’ set for release this November on Anjunadeep, he further establishes himself as one of the UK’s brightest talents.

Title track ‘San Salvadore’ is a laid-back dancefloor roller, full of glistening melodies and intricate synths. ‘Prophets’ sees Joe indulge his nostalgic side, with bright melodies bubbling above a warm groove and throwback vocal in this slice of classic deep house.

Rounding of the EP is ‘Patterns’, a surefire party-starter built around a killer bass groove. A serious dancefloor weapon in the right hands. 








Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunadeep is back with another slice of high class deepness that you must play to see the dancefloor tearing apart. Straight from the sweet city of Leeds is the outstanding Kahwe with his 3 tracks EP that simply has that very special something that makes instantly the difference. San Salvadore starts with exotic tribalish grooves, cool bell sounds, jazzy vintage melodies, vocal snippets and pulsating dark haunting basslines. It is definitely a late night affair that hypnotise your senses and awake your soul to get on board and enjoy the journey. With classic futuristic deep house tendencies and 2015 sensibility the track will put its stamp in your set. Prophets starts with a long atmospheric intro, distorted soulful vocal snippets,  piano hooks, saxophone hooks and cinematic strings that keep the groove rolling and your body shaking non stop until there is no tomorrow. Superb rhythm and sensual warmth perfect for the cold rainy days. Lastly Patterns is an upfront tech house smasher with jazzy melody, vocal snippets, ambient chill out effects and bad a** bassline that grows inside you and carry you into the night until the morning lights! Kahwe is a name to watch! #PureGold Love It
