Premiere: Kerouac – SO.WE.TO [Chapter 24]

by Shlomi Biton March 15, 2018

Why do we tell stories?
We breathe, we eat, we sleep. We seek connection. These are our basic human needs.
But there is one more need we all share, and it centres on stories. All across the world,
stories are being recounted everywhere, in every imaginable way, at any given time. For
telling stories is at the very essence of what it is to be human.
The universe of stories can be broken down into seven basic plots which underlie all stories
ever told. Recognising these patterns is the gateway to unravelling the universal symbolic
language from which all storytelling is spun.
With Comedia, Chapter 24 returns with seven stories in sound collected from artists across
the world to bring these themes to life.
This latest edition heralds the arrival of a range of new artists to Chapter 24. Polymath
Londoner Ben Gomori rubs shoulders with Athenian Connaisseur and Objektivity artist
Thodoris Triantafillou. They are joined by up-and-coming Italian DJ and producer Ivory,
and a tribal collaboration between Kapibara and SHEFFÈ, reprising Kurt Baggaley’s ‘Spiral’.
Manchester-based Kerouac completes the set of new arrivals, swelling the ranks with the
powerful ‘SO.WE.TO’. Meanwhile, label mainstays VVerses and Luis Leon bring their own
contributions to a high-quality compilation with their typically organic and groove-oriented
sounds.
They say that there are only seven basic plots but a thousand different stories.
And so, as the storyteller utters that age old, magical phrase “Once upon a time…”, let
yourself be carried away…

Manchester based DJ/Producer Kerouac originally came on to the scene with his debut EP Ancoats on Flymusik Records, which reached dizzy heights charting 7th in Beatport’s Deep House/Tech House/Techno charts, as well as 27th throughout all of Beatport’s Releases.

Since stepping out into the world of DJing Kerouac has performed alongside the likes of Yousef, Flashmob, Detroit Swindle, HOSH, Chesus, Jonny Cade, Prosumer, Levon Vincent, Culoe De Song, Maurice Fulton, Paul Woolford, Krysko and more, holding his own amongst some of the biggest names in the industry at venues throughout the UK.

2016 saw Kerouac’s debut festival appearances playing both Bluedot and Kendal Calling, as well as opening for Joy Orbison at Hidden’s after party for Parklife Festival. The summer also saw Kerouac’s first Ibiza performance at the infamous Ibiza Zoo.

Kerouac has recently secured himself a residency for Manchester-based label and promotion outfit Love Dose. His last EP Cellar Door, released on Love Dose in November 2016, proved Kerouac’s ability once again, charting 6th in Beatport’s House Chart, 11th in Tech House and 21st across all Beatport’s releases.

The 3 track EP also received support from the likes of FEEL MY BICEP, &ME, Steve Lawler, Edu, Imbernon, Agoria, Ralph Lawson, Franco Bianco, Nick Warren, Inxec, Sacha Robotti, Anthony Pappa, Chris Fortier, Luca Agnelli, Alkalino and more.
