Brooklyn-based imprint Sounds of Khemit proudly announces its next sonic journey—Harder Still EP, a powerful four-track release from the collaborative minds of King Ben and Lazarusman, with remix support from Hauy (All Day I Dream) and Amadori (Rummel, Barcelona).

This EP is a deep and evocative conversation between poetry and rhythm, introspection and motion. It emerges from a cross-continental dialogue: Lazarusman, South Africa’s unmistakable voice of deep house and electronic poetry, meets King Ben, the Swiss producer known for his intricate and deeply textured productions.

At the core of this EP is Lazarusman, a trailblazing spoken-word artist and lyrical force whose words have become anthems for some of the most respected names in the underground scene. With collaborations spanning across global electronic music, his voice brings gravity, meaning, and an unmistakable presence to every track he graces.

King Ben brings his signature blend of melodic depth and emotive production, making this collaboration feel both organic and striking. Reflecting on the process, he shares:

“When Lazarusman and I met, we instantly felt a strong connection—not just musically, but personally as well. Initially, I had asked him to contribute as a poet on a track. But after our exchange, it quickly became clear that we wanted to go deeper and create a full EP together. With Lazarusman in South Africa and me in Switzerland, it’s yet another proof that music knows no boundaries.”
Adding their unique flavors are the remixers: Hauy, a Canadian talent affiliated with All Day I Dream, brings an atmospheric, meditative touch to “Harder Still”, while Amadori, hailing from Barcelona’s vibrant underground, reimagines “Strength” with a hypnotic, cinematic edge.

Harder Still EP is a reflection of global connectivity, poetic resilience, and the power of electronic music to transcend physical and cultural divides. It is both a dancefloor statement and a meditative journey, crafted for the soul.
