Heavily influenced by acid, EBM and techno, Tokyo-based producer and DJ Shun has carved out an unrelenting sound which piqued our interests after hearing his Steel Garage EP on Arnaud Rebotini's Blackstrobe Records. Timothy Clerkin then enlisted him to remix a track from Type-303's The New Ravelution release in 2018 which was such a corker that he had to get him on board for his first full release this year, an EP entitled Dreamland.

Also a DJ with a long standing career in Tokyo, his sets join the dots between the sounds that influence his productions, from techno and acid to electro and Italo too. It's the latter he's chosen to explore for this week's Wednesday Alternative mix; a celebration of all things Italo...

Shun: The 'Wednesday Alternative' Mix

Since meeting as students in Leeds, these two friends have shared their passion for music. The pair immersed themselves in the city’s clubbing and live music scenes and after discovering a mutual appreciation of Techno, Classic House, Indie, Acid and a lingering teenage love of Metal; they began making music together.

Early demos generated murmurs of approval amongst bloggers, clubbers, open-minded members of the indie glitterati and earned them a residency at the one of the UK’s most prominent club nights, Wax:On. Shows in the UK and Europe followed along with a couple of original EP’s and remixes which won them the support of fans and landed them a guest mix spot on Radio 1.

Summers spent darting back and forth between English festivals and Ibiza residencies were paired with winters spend in a dark South London studio full of old synths. Those long days helped tighten and focus their sound and resulted in a further run of original EP’s and a another host of remixes.

The Twins have continued to focus on their efforts in the studio in conjunction with DJing around the UK and Europe, and have gained a whole of new fans and champions including Mr Andrew Weatherall, who has not only consistently supported their productions in his DJ sets but also invited them into to play his A Love From Outer Space parties.

Eskimo Twins have a host of new material due out in the coming months.
