Love Dose Mix 030: Kag Katumba by Love Dose Records
For the 29th instalment of the Love Dose Podcast series we introduce London based selector Komodo. He doesn't care for much above 110bpm, and this mix gives an insight into the slow diggers he's diggin.

Kerouac is a young artist with mature tastes. The Cellar Door EP, released on Love Dose Records, is melodic techno that hypnotises and takes you on a journey. Released on 28 November on digital formats, this is the release to get us all through the coldest of winters. Daniel Abram from Love Dose Records remarks “Kerouac has quickly become a favourite of the Love Dose team and has started to turn a lot of heads. We are blessed to have the opportunity to release these incredible tracks and help Kerouac develop his career.” Podcast 27 features two of the Cellar Door EP tracks as we're taken on a sonic excursion from low slung melancholic deepness through cerebral groovers and jacking rhythms to sweat-dripping-off-the-ceiling weapons of mass dancefloor destruction - you know the ones - before masterfully touching down as we arrive at our destination. Kerouac digs out some real pealers here. Close the door, dim the lights, sit back and enjoy. Download the EP on Beatport here: goo.gl/zlYja4
