Ketami “Don’t Care Enough”

For anyone trying to catch a case of some game-changing, garage-infused house, a power couple by the name of Ketami has your back. Operating out of the up-shifting scene in Australia, Ami Zagata and Ben Thurkettle have been breaking out records with its bull’s-eye set on the booty. Following a handful of effective floor-crushing EPs last year, the duo will make its label debut on French imprint Carton-Pate Records at the end of the month with three originals in the form of Break Down.

The second cut, “Don’t Care Enough,” shows them serving up a nice slice of bass-boasting beats, complete with wompy bottom-end and skipping melody lines that play hopscotch around scarcely dispersed vocal work. It carries a dgaf attitude, but don’t get these two twisted; they have the right vision to take house music to the next level.

Were you impulsive on this track, or did you have a sketch in mind before you started?
We had an idea in mind: It was to create a club banger with less vocals. The track structure just fell into place, and everything was kind of impulsive.

Was there one particular moment in the recording or mixing process of this track that made you feel as though you were creating something pretty damn special?
Yes! Absolutely, when we heard all the pieces come together and everything really seemed to just flow, we both felt super inspired and stoked to get people to hear it!

Describe the best setting/activity to hear this track.
When we created this track, we were imagining that feeling when you’re in a crowded club, dark lights, surrounded by sweaty people, and that sick bass just drops, and you can’t help but get down! We were really going for something that, even if you were at a house party or smoking a joint with your friends, you would be moved by the melodic grooves. But then once the bass kicked in, you would feel inspired to have a good time wherever you were.

What’s the takeaway here? Is there a message or vibe you hope to get across to listeners?
We just really want to spread a good and funky vibe with our production that inspires people and makes people want to dance and party.

How does this production reflect your personality/ethos?
All of our music we produce reflects aspects of who we are in different areas, depending on our moods, feelings and inspirations. With this track, we both were in a zone of creativity, and our combined moods really set the direction of the production.
