Good & Gone: K
Theory’s Own Formula
When one thinks of the blues, a guitar and a piano usually
come to mind – not a synth and meaty bass line. The street corners of New Orleans would be
where I would go to seek out such sounds, and a showcase of dance music would
be the last place from which I’d expect to hear explicit blues licks. It now
seems that I would be mistaken, and it definitely wouldn’t be the first time
that I would be caught off guard.
Cue K Theory, hailing from San Francisco , who have embarked on a genre
busting journey all their own. Using samples from Ben Harper’s When It’s Good, K Theory incorporates
their own formulae of explosive elements of glitch hop and foot-stomping rhythms
to make an electrified funky ass track: Good
& Gone. I hope these guys stick around for a while, for the most
bittersweet taste is when something that is so, so good is gone, gone, gone.
