Khidja are the Romanian duo making a whole lot of noise at the moment. The pair have released music for the likes of Emotional Especial, Love On The Rocks and Malka Tuti over the past couple of years and have been on our radar for quite some time now. They fuse samples from Central Asia and the Middle East alongside Electronic obscurities to create mixes of depth. Their knowledge is vast and their music has been supported heavily by those who have been following the crossover between Optimo, Mehmet Aslan and Huntleys & Palmers. This mix sees them delve deep into obscure samples, spoken word and wonderful electronics and the result is quite remarkable.

Ransom Note is an online music, arts and culture magazine. We provide a home for readers and writers with boundless enthusiasm, esoteric knowledge, fierce opinions and impeccable taste.

With our core team immersed in all aspects of dance music, we publish news, articles, and interviews covering the greatest in innovative, underground culture from across the globe. We offer regular, exclusive music and mixtapes from our favourite artists, and publish features shining a light on everything from the freshest new artists to the untold tales from rave history.

Alongside this we offer musings on film, books, life, and art, generating some context and controversy as an antidote to the reheated PR that clogs up the internet. Our office is fuelled by Tunnock’s Bars, cat memes, hangovers and a ridiculous, never ending love for our culture.

We're always interested in getting new writers on board – feel free to get in touch if you’ve got a story to tell.

With love until the grave.
