-KUEDO-
Soundcloud
Making his name as part of the acclaimed duo Vex’d, who’s brutal take on Dubstep helped define it in it’s infancy, Jamie Teasdale’s re-invention under his Kuedo moniker is nothing short of breath-taking. His early works under this pseudonym such as the acclaimed ‘Starfox’ on Planet Mu were colourful and warm, playful and exuberant and perfectly encapsulated the new found sense of freedom and release found as he removed himself from the restrictive and often nonsensical notions of ‘genre’. Not one to rest on his laurels spent each subsequent release developing and evolving his sound, the pinnacle of which is his debut LP ‘Severant’ , also released on Planet Mu. More introspective and melancholic than his earlier works, the emotive, bladerunner-esque soundscapes represent the futuristic, sci-fi world he now inhabits, a world that he has singlehandedly created for himself.
His sets, both as a DJ and Live, also reflect his wildly diverse range of influences and inspirations. Hard Atlanta rap instruments and fervent footwork sit side by side with 80’s synth soundtracks, quasi disco and all manner of elements from the post-dubstep musical universe, brought together with seaming ease. What defines Kuedo is, paradoxically, the impossibility of defining him. A renaissance man of electronic music and beyond, here’s to the future…

Soundcloud
Ango has created an ep better than we ever could have expected. Subtle influences of late 80s pop, early 90s house and RnB of the 2000s. Lyrically this is a polarised collection of love songs expressing the way up and the way back down. Crystal sharp synths and hats spring up above processed vocals. Beautiful harmonies punctuate thumping, looping drums. It’s a balanced record: upbeat and deep, vintage and yet totally modern, as heart aching as it is uplifting.

-HIDDEN CAT-
Soundcloud
Hidden Cat is a Brooklyn-based producer and DJ originally from Raleigh, North Carolina. His remix work has placed his name next to a diverse group of artists: HEALTH, Deradoorian, Wild Beasts, Shinichi Osawa, Savile and NT89, and others. Both his remixes and his original productions vary across a range of genres, with his latest productions (coming later this year) taking root in UK garage and R&B influences.
