Last but not least… Introducing the hosts of the night: Kimman

Kimman was grown organically in the midst of a musical interplay between friends. Bram & Greg, hailing form Ghent (BE) and having both roots in producing deep, electronic music joined their efforts after previously releasing music under different monikers.

Melodic hooks are center stage while different rhythms ranging from UK-inspired breaks to Italian club grooves provide multiple functions. These guys are ready to raise eyebrows with a fresh string of releases for this year showcasing their lockdown-(in)sanity.

T minus 9 days until MOTIF 🤙🏼

Artists in the spotlight today: FOTN & MarsdenMusic

FOTN & MARSDEN first came together in 2019 when working on a remix for the Manchester based Record Label ‘Nebula Sounds’.

Straight away the boys realised their musical aspirations were aligned and after their successful first collaboration, they continued to work together on several projects.

It’s been a really strong start to 2022 for the duo, as their second project (Commodore) was released on Solomun’s high-profile Record Label Diynamic! They have also just released their first EP together on Nebula Sounds.

Their production has had the upmost support worldwide from artists such as Solomun, Adriatique, John Digweed, Sasha and has featured on radio shows such Pete Tong’s Radio 1 Essential Mix!

Quite a resume isn’t it? 😉 Exactly our thoughts…
