Virtual Saturday: Lil Mofo and Pearson Sound

Posted on by James Hopper

→ → WHAT’S GOING ON? ← ←

David Kennedy, aka Pearson Sound, is one-third of the Hessle Audio label and an unfettered producer whose releases span heady club tracks, abstract excursions and hazy ambient musings. Tokyo-based Lil Mofo finds herself at home playing anything from reggae to UKG, plus anything in between. Expect to traverse the bass continuum between these two.

Virtual Thursday: CCL and Doctor Jeep

Posted on by James Hopper

→ → WHAT’S GOING ON? ← ←

Berlin’s CCL and Brooklyn’s Doctor Jeep share an affinity for 160+ bpm rollers, but also a knack for flipping the script just when you think you’ve figured them out. Sounds like four hours well spent in our book.
