UK-based DJ/producer Bontan just unleashed his warehouse-ready romp “Big Khalifa.” A breakbeat gem with a grinding beat and late-night prowess, this frenetic cut is a jungle-inspired universe of electronic tangents. A heavy-hitting scorcher with an unrelenting bassline that moves with a refined urgency, Bontan pays homage to the pioneering nature of afrobeats while injecting it with explosive drops and dense electronic apexes. At once unruly and sophisticated, Bontan’s “Big Khalifa” is a witty thrasher born from chaos and clarity.
