Kiat from Singapore (founder of the artist group Syndicate Collective) debuts on the label with three tunes that are impeccable in style and substance. From the soothing yet purposeful Brooklyn to the acute manifesto that is Procession and the final but cathartic Slider this EP offers a unique perspective on drum and bass music. The 160 bpm 5 Boroughs Remix by Kabuki (V Rec.) is reflecting the aesthetics of his regular night in Berlin called "New Forms" which he runs in collaboration with no other than D:Bridge. Icelands Agzilla shows off his ability to rework harmonies with classic breakbeats for that special vibe. The title "Leipzig EP" reflects on the special relationship between the label owner’s (Booga) homebase in Germany with Kiat. It goes back to 2007 and kicked off with an interesting story involving DJ Storm (Metalheadz), dubplates and people still meeting on AIM.

As a pioneer of bass driven music in South East Asia, Kiat has been championing the adventurous side of leftfield electronica for close to two decades. He has shared deck duties with some of the world's biggest names such as Goldie, Flying Lotus and Africa Hitech in both intimate clubs and huge festivals like the Singapore Night Festival and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival in Sete, France.
