Kahn

New year, new blood. Kahn steps forward from the shadows of the Bristol underground to deliver a killer double A side debut 12” release for Punch Drunk Records. The immediacy of Kahn’s brand of electrostatic synths and stirring, moody grooves are sure to rapidly ascend his profile in 2011. "Like We Used To" strikingly layers a neck snapping rhythm with mutated soulful vocals, whilst "Helter Skelter" brings enough irresistible bump and flex to move any dancefloor. Kahn’s basslines may eminate from Bristol, but prepare to feel the resonance worldwide.

Cavus

Cavus was started around 07/08 by the founding fathers J.K & T.T.T. They gave birth to this demon of hatred and devilry to serve them, loyally and unquestioning, through times of violent intoxication and the depths of depravity. Soon after that, W was summoned to spit his spells on the beast, and A.R.G to teach it his earth-trembling juggernautics. The first offspring of this alliance is a self titled EP, consisting of four hymns in the honour of plague and pestilence, lasting just under 17 minutes.
