The K-Otic Family - The New Born Kaos EP - 1995

12" - 1995 - Echo International 

"The New Born Kaos" EP released by The K-Otic Family came out in 1995 on Echo International. All tracks produced by D.J. Probe and Norman K-OTIC. The Wax isn't really expensive and is the kind of stuff you must have in your collection. 

"The duo of D.J. Probe and Norman K-OTIC are the K-Otic Family who somehow pressed on wax a monolith of underground flavor. Norman's flow is unique, hard hitting, and defined. D.J. Probe's instrumentals are god-like. I must hear anything else he produced because he provided his MC partner some of the illest beats riding over clear, hardcore breaks.

The EP starts smooth and ends with a horror RA, Necro, and the Flatlinerz wish they could approximate. "Vaccine" and "Composition" are both beautifully produced and Norman's verve grabs you into his world. 

On the B-Side though is where the Solar Eclipse begins and the horror reaches a level heretofore possibly unheard of.

While Bloody Fetus is in itself a sick track (I mean just look at the name of it), it's Code Red that is the crowning achievement of this entire EP. The frequencies herein make you want to murder indiscriminately. First off, this beat is one of the best I've heard of all time. The break is an anomaly in how clear yet rough it could sound. From the accurately timed bass, the sharp-to-fade "bing" that ends each bar, to the chorus that culminates into a masterful frenzy, utilizing even the sounds of blood dripping in the background. I was transfixed by it's very essence. Not only that it varies spontaneously at times and goes for 3 1/2 minutes. A masterpiece for all the underground heads to hear.

4.9/5.0. There is no 5.0/5.0 in my world so let that be an indicator of how smooth to raw this album is. A must have and hear."
