From the UK, the most important artists leading the "New Bristol sound scene", Kahn & Neek are having their Japan tour for their first time.
For the name K&N, they updates the early grime and dancehall music scene by using a sense of punk and industrial essence. By the name of Gorgon Sound, they play the style of UK steppers reggae while faithfully inherit the dub plate culture. Both names, K&N and Gorgon Sound have something in common, their style is based on the traditions of the sound system culture. The sound and the play style that they create have a huge popularity not just only in the UK, but also all over Europe and in the United States of America.
K&N are the member of the Collective Young Echo, which has been featured for the article "Bristol's New School" in the UK magazine called "Wire" but Kahn himself has released a wide range of solo work. They run a grime label called "Bandulu Records" which they create the artwork and the distribution in D.I.Y. style.
K&N are highly praised by the younger talent of their generation, and also by the originator of the bristol sound and the innovator.
“Kahn & Neek hold the torch for the Bristol dubstep/grime movement at the moment. Two great DJs, producers and all round excellent human beings! Come check them mash up a dance in your area, you won’t regret it..”
--- Pinch (Tectonic / Cold Recordings)
“These two young and very accomplished producers follow on from the Bristol tradition of bass driven dub style beats, while also injecting their own next level dynamic into the continuing Bristol story.
Involving strong elements of soundsystem culture, their work as ‘Gorgon Sound’ brings a raw and forward thinking energy which is both physically and mentally exciting!”
--- Rob Smith (RSD / Smith & Mighty)
