Mount Kimbie (HotFlush/UK)
Since quietly dropping a couple of EPs on Hotflush Recordings last year, UK duo Mount Kimbie has shot into the stratosphere, as its recently released debut album, Crooks and Lovers, has taken the whole post-dubstep-future-bass-whatever-it's-called continuum to a whole new audience. Perhaps it's the inclusion of field recordings and other organic sounds, or maybe it's the palpable sense of melancholy in their songs, but the youthful pair has folks practically salivating over their maiden journey to North America, which begins this Friday with a performance at Seattle's Decibel Festival. Over the course of the following week, Dominic Maker and Kai Campos will trek across the continent before heading back across the pond; a full list of tour dates is here. To celebrate their touchdown on American shores, the boys have assembled this exclusive mix for the XLR8R podcast series. Much like their own music, the mix finds the guys dabbling in dancefloor sonics, but the duo never abandons its love of woozy low-end hum and experimental wanderlust—not that we'd want them to.
Lorn (Brainfeeder/USA)
Aged 23 and hailing “from the middle of nowhere in Illinois”, Lorn is the only official member of the Brainfeeder crew to not either live or have lived in Los Angeles. He makes dark, often melancholic dubstep-influenced music, and recently remixed Jammer to great effect.
Your man cites Prince, Timbaland, Queens of the Stone Age and more as his influences, and quotes Satan (via John Milton’s Paradise Lost) in an appropriately lofty press release:
“All is not lost; the unconquerable Will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield:
And what is else not to be overcome?
Lorn’s answer to that, apparently, is “nothing else.”
