Returning to the HKCR airwaves with another Deconstructed World featuring one of the artists I've been admiring lately, Only Now aka Kush Arora Tmw at 3:00 PM Cairo, EG / 6:00 AM Berkley, CA.
"Only Now aka Kush Arora lights up and sits down with us for a rare session of walking us through some of his favorite releases and the stories behind their influences on his music at the time he was listening to them. Jokes and vocal effects present. It’s a fun grab through his hard drive and how it’s affected his music."
Only Now is the vision of Kush Arora, based in Berkeley, CA. His sound is an unremitting emission of razor cut rhythms, primitive channeling, and ritualistic electronics. There is wild abandon in his approach; from seething Indian rhythms to cold fronts of ambience that highlight Arora’s ability to juggle disparate sonics. Active in the Bay Area since the late 90’s, Kush produces in scenes ranging from noise to dancehall as with his recent “Indian Unclassical” series. Arora's work has been featured on the BBC and in The Wire, The Quietus, The Guardian, FACT, Resident Advisor, and Bandcamp Daily. Over the past year, Kush has performed with DUMA, Andy Stott, and Kokoko!
