Interviews

Lando Kal, production pseudonym of San Franciscan-turned-Berliner Antaeus Roy, is not the first person you’d expect to be behind such dancefloor burners as last year’s top tune “Further” or his most recent “Rhythm Sektion / Inquisition.” From our first impression at SXSW, he seemed rather quiet and composed – a musician who takes his craft […]

It’s no secret that we’re huge Kahn fans. The multitalented Bristolian producer is the man behind some of the filthiest basslines this side of legality, and his remix prowess is remarkable. The last time we were officially blessed with a pure Kahn original was way back in October with the viciously excellent “Illy/Tehran” EP, but since […]

Stream: Doc Daneeka & Benjamin Damage – Creeper (50Weapons) When we last spoke to Mial Watkins, also known as Doc Daneeka, he announced a new release on his imprint Ten Thousand Yen by the Dutch electronic mason Presk, who offered us up a Truancy Volume a couple of days later.

The tracks are fascinatingly diverse, travelling across genres with intergalactic breadth. Closing track “JS8” is propulsive yet mesmerising, with a kick that keeps your feet twitching while […]

Over the past six months one name has been slowly cropping up on everyone’s radar, Thefft.  His music revolves around rough low ends, euphoric stabs, and meticulous drum programming, which often creates music landing in the unclassifiable realm we’ve been stuck in for the last two years.  Late last year DFRNT released his The Primer […]
