AK/DK • Strange Loops

If you dig a big fat sawtooth wave riff standing in the front and nearly hitting you in the face with the mic stand, then Brighton's AK/DK has your number. Turn it up and ready yourself to spasm uncontrollably.

Geordie Greep &bull; <i>The New Sound</i>

Geordie Greep • The New Sound

FIDLAR &bull; <i>SURVIVING THE DREAM</i>

FIDLAR • SURVIVING THE DREAM

Mestizo Beat &bull; <i>Jaraguá</i>

Mestizo Beat • Jaraguá

As the name successfully implies, this outfit is a heady blend of Chicano funk and other sources. Pumping bass lines that could drain the Baltic Sea in minutes and horn stabs that could be entered as evidence in a court of law fill out the package.
