Born and raised in South London, Fiyahdred has been on a journey. Formerly known as Bamz, their journey began at the age of six when they started beatboxing before moving onto music production at the age of 10. Growing up surrounded by music, with their parents and brother introducing them to music varying across hip hop, R&B, garage, reggae and lovers rock to name a few, it's no surprise that they ended up on this creative path. In 2011, Fiyahdred left school to pursue music production under the Bamz moniker where they self-released consistently and successfully, growing a strong fanbase with the UK funky community and beyond. However, this consistently led to burn out and a two-year hiatus where Fiyahdred fell out of love with music. It was during this period where the name change to Fiyahdred took place and things started to align. Not only a creative decision but a personal one, Fiyahdred stepped into this new chapter feeling inspired and passionate about music again. Solidifying the next chapter, Scratcha DVA linked Fiyahdred with Hyperdub who released their first EP under the new moniker and with that strong support from the get go, everything clicked into place. Since that moment, Fiyahdred has played a notable back-to-back set with fellow Hyperdub affiliate Ikonika for Boiler Room's takeover at KOKO with additional gig highlights including fabric and We Out Here last summer. 

What feels like just the beginning for the Fiyahdred project, we caught up with the dynamic producer to chat about what that name change meant for them, slowing down, relationship with social media, mentorships and their approach to their upcoming all night long tour.

An heavenly pad introduces Benedict's mixtape, which dives through a meditative chant and later drown trapped below underwater verses. The beat suddenly dissolves itself into a granular void of liquid synths, right before an half-stepper starts kicking over a melancholic clock-stab. A legacy of shadow drones sweeps beneath your breath, amid grimy workflows and warped dub tapes. Then a smooth ascent of tempo cuts your senses sharply, climbing over the meta verse of intelli-drumming and nu-junglism. Wait 'til the very end, for wilder hand percussion riffs paving the path for an otherworldly breaks closing. Out of the dungeons of a shed-turned-studio, the southern Berlin bass label @fastcastle recently released another co-supported workflow from the man itself: "a well rounded cross-section of all things" named “Unique Technologies II”, while throwing parties within the city. @finally_julius is also part of C24, platform for colliding art related works.

Daisychain 299 - EL Brujo

For this week's podcast, Simo Cell has put Another Pixel in the limelight. Over the course of two hours, the French DJ gives an electronic music masterclass. Strap in!

Simo Cell: "If I had to pick my top 3 DJs, Another Pixel would definitely make the cut. He's seriously underrated. My friends and I affectionately call him "the teacher" – a fun fact, he was actually my university professor. He's also one of the reason I want to go back to playing more records in my sets as he s a vinyl dj and the last time I saw him was so inspiring. 

He knows a ton about electronic music, blending old-school vibes with fresh and innovative sounds, always with a cosmic touch. Picture a captivating mix where different elements come together – nerve sequences, Braindance, celestial notes, and the energy of tribal and urban vibes. This is not old skool, this is not new skool, this is true school. "
