UVB — Kavanah EP

Uvb – Kavanah EP arrives on mord r as catalogue MORD127, a 12-inch vinyl that delves into a stark industrial terrain. Issued on 13 November 2026, the record presents a compact five-track journey that balances ritualistic intensity with a precise, machine-like aesthetic. While mord r’s wider output remains opaque, Kavanah EP follows a line of Uvb’s previous statements on the format. The producer’s 2015 three-disc LP Life (MORDLP001) set an early benchmark for the label, and the 2025 double-12” Second Life EP (MORD012) demonstrated an appetite for extended, immersive structures. Earlier still, the 2025 System Revival & TH Tar Hallow collaboration Nouveau dossier contenant des éléments anciens (DOSSIER001) hinted at a willingness to merge archival material with contemporary noise, a thread that resurfaces here. The 2020 Body Theory outing Your Path To Us (BT009) and the 2019 BT007 release The Power Of Saying No further cemented Uvb’s reputation for crafting weighty, texturally rich tracks that sit comfortably on the dancefloor and in the listening room alike. Side A opens with “Chorea Macchabeorum”, a title that conjures restless movement; the track’s relentless pulse establishes a kinetic foundation that propels the listener forward. It is followed by “Bloodguilt”, which sustains the momentum while introducing a darker tonal shift, allowing the set to breathe before the flip. Side B begins with “Tifereth”, a piece that offers a brief respite through a more spacious arrangement, creating a contrast that heightens the impact of the subsequent cuts. “Vesod” picks up the tempo again, re-engaging the industrial drive with a focused drive that works well for peak-time transitions. The record closes with “Golmi”, a final statement that ties the EP together with a lingering, hypnotic groove, ideal for looping into the next track or fading out a set. Within Uvb’s catalogue, Kavanah EP reflects a continued exploration of industrial motifs, building on the weighty textures of earlier releases while sharpening the focus for a concise five-track format. Its placement on mord r adds another facet to the label’s growing reputation for supporting uncompromising electronic works. For DJs, the EP offers a clear structural narrative: the A-side provides a solid opening block for early-set energy, while the B-side supplies both a momentary release and a return to driving intensity, making it suitable for both peak and closing moments. Collectors will appreciate the continuity of Uvb’s evolution and the tactile experience of a single 12-inch format that captures the raw edge of industrial sound design. The release is pressed as a standard 12-inch vinyl, matching the format of Uvb’s earlier Mord Records outings and preserving the analog fidelity that the genre thrives on.
