Back in 2001, Terry Tester, Buscrates and Ian Wallace sat in a van in Pittsburgh, PA bugging out over Pete Rock instrumentals. Since then, Buscrates (Bastard Jazz / Razor-N-Tape) has made a name for himself as a top shelf boogie craftsman and avid synth head, while Brooklyn’s Ian Wallace boasts a seemingly never-ending run of raw, soulful remixes with partners OP! And Nick Bike.
‘MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning’ shows how Dom Maker and Kai Campos have grown over the past decade and demonstrates the two sides of Mount Kimbie’s aesthetic coin - each side produced entirely by either member. Dom’s side, ‘Die Cuts’, is colourful and melody-led, thriving on the spark of collaboration; Kai’s, ‘City Planning’, is tactile and unpredictable, the product of a deeply personal aesthetic voyage. The two sides complement each other through their contrasts. But in other ways they’re not so different. Both artists present a unique vision which stands apart from their peers; neither side could have been made by anyone but Mount Kimbie.

TicketsWith dream-like vocals and songs that fuse the line between R&B and neo-soul, Hana has been emerging into the London scene with a number of live performances. The past few years have seen her debut EP, Until It Isn’t, develop her songwriting and touch on themes of distance in relationships and communication. Hana has also appeared on a collaboration with singer Willow Newman, YOUR TIME, that was released early in 2023. When talking about Hana’s music it’s impossible not to mention her hit track Fantasy released back in 2019. After a couple of quiet years, Hana is back with some of her best work yet. With some hypnotic production, Hana’s vocals float through her music as she sings about toxic situations and moving forward. Her vocals immediately draw comparisons to the likes of Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu and Lily Allen.

The Pocket are an indie funk/rock band based in Hammersmith, West London. With a tight, methodical sound that draws as much inspiration from MF Doom as the Arctic Monkeys, The Pocket blend wide-ranging influences into an identity entirely their own. Having met while playing together in the Imperial College London Jazz Band, the group quickly bonded over a shared love of RnB/Soul music and began jamming together. This rapidly spiralled from jazz into the realms of indie rock, hip-hop, funk, punk and whatever else sounded fun. The Pocket was formed, songs were written, an EP recorded and a small but dedicated following was established. The result is a live act that defies both musical sensibilities and common sense, and an output that is as unpredictable as it is entertaining.
