Unsigned Hype: Ka So Re ‘Dramatically Keep You’ & ‘Greetings’

kasore Unsigned Hype: Ka So Re Dramatically Keep You & GreetingsIllustration credit: Jaakko P.

Ka So Re is the new production project of our favorite Finnish DJ, Kimarr, of ‘Pose It Up’ mixtape fame. Since arriving in our playlist last week, these tracks have really grown on us. It’s modest electro with modern hard hitting baselines and roots digging directly into classic ’80s electro stylings (OMG vocoders! Let’s boogaloo! Now!). The production is crisp for the bedroom, the dive bar, and the big room with the sound activated lazers. Say “Greetings” to Ka So Re:

Kimarr - Pose It Up #4 mix

kimarr Kimarr - Pose It Up #4 mix

Kimarr is so fun! We loved his Pose It Up #3 and his Pose It Up #2, not to mention the original Pose It Up (at Stockholm Beat Connection).

This new one takes us on a journey! He called this installment his “best” and I’d agree. I’ve got a stupid grin on my face the whole way through. It’s unpretentious and amazing. Dude put a Destiny’s Child joint on a November 2007 mix! WHat!? What!? F.U. John Q. Dubplates!

From Helsinki, Finland, to your earholes, with love:

kimarr Mia vs Lil Jon vs Ciara - Me & U Throwing Paper Planes  (Kimarr edit)

I was cruising through the Missingtoof dental records the other day and came across Finnish DJ/Producer Kimarr’s ‘Pose It Up’ series of mixtapes and found myself poppin’ and lockin’ to the old mixes which can still hold their own amongst some mixes made last week.

Then I got to thinkin’ ‘Damn, what happened to homie? Did he find some other blog to give all his lovin’ to?’ I cried into my pillow for a bit and three hours I hear a ding from the inbox and to my shock & surprise there was this brand new mash by Kimarr!

It contains some new and old and by the end, it chops up to Baltimore.
Check.
