Chairman Kato is a new producer on the London bass music scene who recently joined the ranks of the Pictures Music crew—a roster that also includes the likes of Dark Sky and Seams—for his debut EP, Wildfire (pictured above). You can preview some portions of that forthcoming release here, but first we’ve got a full download of the second tune on Kato’s debut, “No Coincidence.” Of his music, the producer has said, “I knew I wanted to make something that was cohesive and not necessarily something that was going to move dancefloors,” a sentiment which rings particularly true on this cut. Kato’s song certainly has beats, but these are broken rhythms more closely associated with the Flying Lotus continuum than that of the UK club scene. And over those herky-jerky drum patterns, sheets of sizzling white noise compete with ghostly moans and rickety synth loops. It’s certainly no coincidence this production made it onto an EP called Wildfire; Chairman Kato makes it sound like you’re in the middle of one.
