Kahn
Hailing from Bristol (U.K) and having grown up immersed in the city's renowned culture of sound systems, punk rock and hip hop; Kahn is at the forefront of the new wave of Bristol producers and DJs. From his first vinyl releases in 2011 on Peverelist's cult record label Punch Drunk Records to his more recent cuts on Mala's Deep Medi label, Kahn has established himself as one of the most diverse producers of his generation.
His production style tends to draw influence from dub reggae, early 2000's grime, digital dancehall, UK steppers and music from across the 140bpm spectrum. As part of the Young Echo collective, Kahn has explored other areas of electronic music and incorporates his own vocals and instrumentation into his sound. As a DJ, Kahn keeps true to the traditions of sound system culture with sets full of dubplates and versions. Whether performing solo as Kahn, alongside fellow grime producer and DJ Neek or as Gorgon Sound (dub and dancehall project also with Neek), it's always a dubplate and vinyl operation.
Neek
Also hailing from Bristol, a grime specialist whose productions are under-rated within the scene. An equal hand in the Bandulu Record label, longtime grime listener and DJ, Neek’s influence looms large in smashes like ‘Percy’, ‘Chevy’, and ‘Can’t Look Away’. He’s also a man with much to say about functionality in dance music, genre, his hometown and plenty of other topics that make one wonder why he flies under the radar.
