Mount Kimbie RA Podcast

Love this mix from Mount Kimbie, whose album Crooks & Lovers is being greeted with plenty of acclaim. Dark, ambient and with a terrific bit of afrobeat/congo that I'm pretty sure is Konono Nº1 - never been great at following the tracklists on these.

London post-dubstep duo Mount Kimbie have just released their first LP, Crooks & Lovers, which is the follow-up to the superb, boundary-pushing brace of EPs they released last year, Sketch on Glass and Maybes. They've announced a tour of the UK as well as a couple of Irish dates : Galway's Roisin Dubh on October 12th, and Dublin's Academy 2 on the 13th.
