Everyday Robots: The new solo album from English singer, songwriter, producer and composer Damon Albarn is out now: http://smarturl.it/itERalbumdeluxe

Aartekt is made up of Liam Wachs and Johannes Williamson. They are based in London, where they hold a residency at Flux which Johannes founded and runs. Liam has been producing for 8 years under various aliases. Their debut 12" Aartekt EP was released on Alland Byallo's Berlin imprint, Bad Animal, which briefly reached the top spot on Decks and received support from the likes of Tom Trago and Locked Groove. Meanwhile, Rolling Energy was also featured in Ruede Hagelstein’s new Watergate 13 compilation mix. This summer saw Aartekt support the likes of Motor City Drum Ensemble, Session Victim and Dixon, playing at a host of festivals including Dimensions, Beacons and Secret Garden Party. With an abundance of new material in the pipeline and the Flux label on the way soon, the Aartekt boys couldn’t be more excited.

After 12 years in the game, Kissy Sell Out continues to be one of the most influential and globally respected names of the British dance music industry. With fresh projects evolving in 2018 as the label manager of Stepper Man and Lengoland, his bass house productions and world-class DJ mixing talents have forged the start of a second chapter in his vibrant and prestigious career. 

With his critically-acclaimed new album as KSO called “Style From The Westside” – described by UKF as “the realest bassline album you’ll hear all year” – Kissy has used his wealth of experience to shred up every old habit and signature sound he has honed in the past and re-written the rule book of electronic music production yet again. 

The list of collaborators featuring on the album reads like a who’s who of heavy-hitters in the current bassline and bass house scenes; including DJ Q, Darkzy, Dread MC, Pavv, JG, Tengu, Sam Supplier, J69, Jaikea, and The Wideboys. 

KSO’s lists of achievements in the music industry and public-eye are as long as they are astounding. He started at the tender age of 21 working on official game-changing remixes for A-list pop-stars such as Mark Ronson, Calvin Harris and Gwen Stefani (all while he was still at London’s Central Saint Martins art college), and went on to find success across the globe as an influential taste-maker at BBC Radio 1, global brand ambassador for Pioneer DJ, regular tour support act for The Prodigy and Fatboy Slim, as well as a unique music industry personality and public figure who can claim to have debated against Stephen Fry at Cambridge University and composed official music for the 2012 London Olympics ceremonies in Trafalgar Square and Buckingham Palace.
