Kush Arora Riddims Mixes Highlights

Gappy Ranks, one of the leading figures in UK dancehall returns with one of his first singles in years with SF Bay Area producer Kush Arora. "Money Bags" is an introspective look on his journey from childhood to his current home in the UK. He shares hopes of aspirations and vulnerability not often expressed in the genre, all while Arora's wavy Punjabi touch of bashment flows underneath.


Formerly of Greensleeves records, he has charted with hit "Stinking Rich", and been a top UK reggae artist collaborating with everybody from the Kray Twinz, Beres Hammond to Lethal Bizzle. Not to mention his prowness in exploring future sounds in the electronic world, he's been a pioneer and has unmistakable voice and personable touch. Kush produces in the realm of indo carrbiean music, and has recently been featured in the Guardian Uk, Wire, Quietus, Fact Mag, and many more of pioneering cultural sounds.

@kusharora’s 'Vision' is a clear-eyed, uncompromising realization of riddim culture in the here & now.

Growing up listening to Mafia & Fluxy, Xterminator, Madhouse Records on rotation with now cult-classic Louie Culture cuts and the Indo-Caribbean flavors of Apache Indian, Kush Arora has long carried the iconic soundscape of dancehall close to his heart. Songs from these artists, whether they rumble through a soundsystem on a night out, remixed on jungle tapes, or from the artist’s roots, never felt out of place. With every new sound, even those seemingly unconnected to each other, everything began to coalesce. Arora’s palette shows appreciation for these connections - 2006’s 'Bhang Ragga' captured “dancehall bhangra in future dub” - and 'Visions' continues this tradition, featuring nods to the latest fusions of sound emerging from the British capital and beyond.

On 'Wine An Go Down', @blackout-ja harnesses a classic bashment feel - ruffneck meets rootsy vocals that come together perfectly.

Ikonika - March 2023

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.
