DRS X is the first collaborative EP from forward-thinking Kenyan producer Slikback and Sicilian-born, Berlin-based producer and sound designer, Shapednoise.

The pair met at Berghain back in 2019, when Slikback opened his set with a Shapednoise track, but plans to collaborate were hindered by the pandemic. Three weeks ago, they were given the opportunity to spend three days working together at the Soundcloud studios in Berlin, so set about rapidly constructing a dimension-shifting set of tracks.

The sprawling four-track EP is inspired by bass music, Memphis rap, extreme noise and footwork, but reconstructs each sound from the ground up, subverting expectations with unusual rhythms and hyperreal sonic trickery.

Showcasing their legacy of avant-garde exploration and activity on dance music’s most radical fringes, Slikback and Shapednoise converge to shuttle listeners into prismatic altered states.
