The Big Chill Presents… Mount Kimbie
April 9th, 2010 by sparky
Joining Joy Orbison for his Big Chill Presents debut on April 23rd will be Mount Kimbie, a brand new production duo that eludes classification. Based in London, they have developed a truly unique sound whose experimental rhythms lend themselves to the fringes of dubstep, wonky and hip hop, but ooze with emotion and echoing ambient soundscapes that take the listener to an entirely different place.
We grabbed 5 minutes with Kai and Dom…
1. For those that don’t know, can you give us a brief introduction to who you are and what you do?
We are Mount Kimbie, we make largely looped based music influenced by all kinds of things.
2. The best thing about what you do is…
Our live set is still developing after every gig but I’d say you can visually see all of the sound you hear being made.
3. What are your current top 5 tracks?
1. Any track by Actress
2. James Blake – Give a Man a Rod
3.Lady Gaga & Beyonce – Telephone
4.Untold & LV – Beacon
5. Ramadaman – Bleeper
4. What are you working on at present?
Our debut album
5. Finally, you’re playing soon at Big Chill Presents, what can our crowd expect from you?
Bad singing, loops slipping out of time and one random drunk person heckling us to play something they can dance to.
Mount Kimbie will perform at ‘The Big Chill Presents…’ on Friday 23rd April, as will Joy Orbison, Altered Natives and Aaron Audio.
