From the blacked-out basement of Plastic People to the psychedelic dancefloor of Beauty and the Beat, Kay Suzuki’s musical world has been shaped by some of London’s most iconic sound systems. High-quality audio, he says, can open portals to new universes. Rhythm is time made plastic, and beauty is the space between the beats.
Spanning over fifteen years of music from the prolific DJ, producer, Time Capsule label boss, and former Brilliant Corners sushi chef, this collection of remixes is the logical conclusion of Kay Suzuki’s musical thinking. Drawn to unique percussive and syncopated rhythms, he describes remixes as conversations between the original artist’s sense of time and his own. Weaving broken beat, house, and dub influences into rhythms from across the Black Atlantic, these four tracks find kinship on the dancefloor.
The A-side begins with a dubbed-out rework of the Gwoka celebration rhythm 'A Ka Titine' by Guadeloupe’s Gaoulé Mizik, originally released by Beauty and the Beat in 2022. Layering electronic flares, dub sirens, and space echo reverb across the shuffling toumblak beat, Suzuki leans into the track’s Creole heritage, turning it into a sought-after dancefloor jam played by DJs including Colleen Cosmo Murphy, John Gomez, Yu-Su, and Bradley Zero.
Moving to Puerto Rico, Broki’s 'Es Que Lo Es' emerged from a collaboration between Bugz in the Attic’s Afronaut, Seiji, and local musicians. Here, Suzuki reworks the Afro-Latin percussion into a subtle bruk rhythm, conjuring a third space between London and San Juan that feels both timeless and contemporary.
Blackbush Orchestra’s 'Sortez Les Filles!' opens the B-side, reshaping the original into a chugging Balearic house track, buoyant and full of life. Also first released by Beauty and the Beat, the remix introduces new synth and structural elements that highlight its dancefloor potential.
The final track takes us to Cuba, where Sunlightsquare (Claudio Passavanti), alongside vocalist Rene Alvarez and percussionist Giovanni Imparato, created 'Oyelo'. Suzuki strips out the kick entirely, leaving what he calls an 'imaginary four-to-the-floor'—a groove that is felt rather than heard, allowing the listener to drift into another universe.
