OBSKRRD 198 // Hood Joplin

The Belgian producer SKY H1 (@sky_h1) presents a sound impression reminiscent of mirages and exquisite mists, swirling above mountain peaks like a dreamlike scene from a cosmos. Her mastery lies in the intricate arrangement of melodies and beats, meticulously crafted to perfection. SKY H1's works capture the blurring lines between her foundational experiences in drum and bass, grime, dubstep, and techno, all tilted towards the schematic bursts of pop, successfully infusing her profound taste into the sleepless dance floor.

When Two Shell's (@twoshell) "home" appeared almost from nowhere at the end of 2021, it didn't take long before it was a ubiquitous anthem at any self-respecting club space across the world. The mysterious masked British duo had stumbled upon a magical formula, obscuring vocals snipped from Danish pop band CHINAH's 'Away From Me' and juxtaposing them with surprisingly hyperpop-influenced beats. Endorsed by Four Tet, Ben UFO, Jamie XX, and Mary Anne Hobbs, Two Shell put a cartoonish spin on garage, techno, dubstep and jungle sounds, and are already raking in acclaim for their latest EP 'Icons', inviting comparison to Drexciya, Daft Punk and The Chemical Brothers. Who ever they are, it's certain that they're not far from superstardo.

As the hidden gem of the renowned independent label Young, Two Shell collaborated with label-mate superstar FKA twigs on the single "Talk To Me" this year and released their self-titled debut album, "Two Shell." Known for their signature broken beats, garage influences, and catchy melodies, their experimental blend of glitchy sound effects and booming bass punches hints at the heatwave Two Shell is set to bring to the dance floor—a final burst of warmth before winter arrives.

The long road to Horst: AliA’s residency.

Horst was never 'just' a festival—it’s always been a place where artists grow alongside the community. Few artists embody that evolution as clearly as AliA, a day-one visitor who grew into one of Horst’s most versatile and respected resident DJs.

This year, AliA plays a special role in launching the Horst Peloton – a collective bike ride to the festival in collaboration with Bosch eBike Systems. Not only did she contribute a new mix to mark the occasion, she’ll also perform a live DJ set during the Peloton’s first day, soundtracking the riders’ journey to Asiat Park.

We sat down with AliA to talk about her memories of the early days, her growth alongside the festival, and the beauty of taking the long road—whether behind the decks or on two wheels.

Radio Mumdance - S04 - E07 - With Yamaneko - 16 April 2025

London-born producer Ed "Tim Reaper" Alloh has spearheaded a renaissance of breakbeats from behind the decks and the desk. A web developer by day until recently, Reaper spent years in the margins of the drum & bass scene. Cultivating a style that bridges old-school ferocity and forward-thinking experimentation, his tracks are immediately recognizable. They are familiar in their foundation of classic chopped Amen breaks and booming basslines, yet futuristic in their sideways lurches and sonic juxtapositions.

With a keen interest in all things hip-hop, Edmonton’s Hood Joplin wanted to find a way to contribute to the culture which is how she found her way into DJing and uploading her mixes online. First discovered by Philadelphia collective Gwappy Boyz who picked up her edits and DJ sets, she released her debut EP in 2016 via Drama Hands - the label who also booked Hood Joplin for her first live set at Rude Haus. 

Since then, Hood Joplin has been waving the flag for high-energy sounds, spanning across footwork, drum & bass and juke alongside the Kudatah crew. Playing shows with the likes of DJ Taye, Flying Lotus, Robert Hood and Chippy Nonstop, Hood Joplin is an RBMA Bass Camp alumni and has also contributed tracks to Repost Network.

Recently releasing the ‘Bank Account’ album in collaboration with Text Chunk on the London-via-Paris label Moveltraxx, Hood Joplin provides a fierce 40-minute mix which showcases her far-reaching influences and we get to know the killer producer a little bit with a quickfire Q&A.
