Looking through some of Kölsch’s (AKA Rune RK) most recent productions, you’d be forgiven for thinking he’d adopted a new trajectory for his style, diverting away from his simple yet mesmerising house trademark towards a sound distinctly erring on the electro side.

It’s no secret we’re big fans of the recent Mmoths – Diaries EP, a formidable release with a host of exciting young producers getting in on the action none more so than Dublin based duo CLU.

Henrique Oliviera is a name that has been popping up with increasing regularity in our news feed of late.
