Rising UK drum’n’bass/EDM duo Koven released a brand new uplifting track ‘Good Enough‘ accompanied by a video that premiered on UKF earlier today. The single release came alongside BCee’s remix of the song ‘For Me‘ from their last album Butterly Effect. The debut record came out in March this year through Monstercat Records just as people were starting to lock their doors down to brace the pandemic, and naturally became the official soundtrack to the global stay-at-home party.
‘Good Enough’ is a straight-forward upbeat drum’n’bass banger set to become Koven’s next dance hit and a future sing-along festival favourite. Starting with a gentle acoustic guitar before exploding in a worlwind of energetic melodies, the single resembles timeless EDM classics by the likes of Pendulum, Hadouken! and Nero. Fueled by positive vibes, ‘Good Enough’ showcases singer Katie Boyle’s versatile vocals soaring over a jumpy bass line that simply does not let you listen to it still.
Koven are Max Rowat and Katie Boyle, a music production duo based in London that has been increasingly active and popular on the UK electronic scene since their formation in 2011. As one of the most interesting and fresh bass outfits in recent years, everpresent with frequent single releases and huge featurings, Koven have been continuously drawing the attention of industry tastemakers like UKF and Ministry of Sound, gaining more and more exposure with each appearance.
The video of ‘Good Enough‘ was filmed by independant Dutch video producer Wessel van Leeuwen with additional footage from London-based freelance photographer and videographer Jaden T Moss of JTMedia. The live performance was recorded during the special socially distanced set from the renowned Rampage festival in Cologne last month, alongside shots of Katie Boyle around the city and Koven’s recording studio.
In addition to ‘Good Enough‘, Koven added BCee’s exclusive remix of their track ‘For Me‘ taken from Butterfly Effect. Within the context of the otherwise upbeat album, the track felt like a gentle interlude and could hardly be taken as a stand out single. BCee’s rework adds an extra breakbeat-infused layer and a liquid d’n’b vibe while maintaining the original’s melancholic feel and delicate melodies, and twisting it into a soulful rework worthy of a standalone release.
In a recent social media post, Koven confirmed there are more ogirinal tracks and remixes ready to be dropped over the next few months as part of a deluxe relaunch of Butterfly Effect. Since its release coincinded with the beginning of the global lockdown, Koven never got the chance to tour in support of their debut record premiere but are hoping to “visit you all as soon as possible and give you all the amazing live AV show [they] dreamed to do this year as part of the album“.
