kingdomunderground“DJ ArkAngel proves that decades of experience twisting knobs and filtering sound waves earns a solid pallet of audio deliciousness. The Kingdom Underground sound stays alive with his latest release, “Down Low.” DJ ArkAngel has the unique ability to layer solid kick drums, gnarly baselines, and a booty vocal sample and keep it 100% underground and cheese free. Down Low guarantees a packed dance.”
“Remember back in the day, when the music touched your heart and spoke to your soul? So does DJ ArkAngel. His latest entry, “Dezire,” does just that. Etheral synths and well placed samples cause melodic overload, and, DJ ArkAngel demonstrates that he can tame the LFO wobble. Well placed, and not distracting, the half beat breakdown adds to the power of the song, and drives it forward. Fantastic track to bring the crowd to eargasm. ”
“DJ ArkAngel’s brilliant programming and love for the nasty, filtered synth brings “Farther Down” to life. Intelligent use of pads and samples push the track into a peak hour drop that will melt your face. This track should come with a warning. Don’t overheat your body when grooving, and watch your bass bins!”
“DJ ArkAngel strikes again with the sick, underground sound. Lab coats have been trying to put the emotion from “The Sound” into a pill for years. Tracks like this aren’t even legal in some countries. Smooth vocal samples and orbiting synths deliver the user straight into a hardworking half beat sure to snap some necks. The melodic bliss counters the artillery like synths so seamlessly that the track can fit it’s way into just about any part of the night, but, no matter where it is placed, the crowd will be energized.”

The label’s latest releases, “Get Up (Breaks Mix)” and “The Sound (4 AM Breaks Mix)” feature more complicated layers of vocals, & an assortment of dance happy leads over wobbling synth lines.
“Down Low (3 AM Breaks Mix)” features some insane syncopated snares and breakdowns that make the heads bob . Everything coming from dJ ArkAngel can be considered solid breakbeat production.”
