My main passion is underground club music, with a taste for the stranger ends of the spectrum.
I write the monthly electronic music round-up for Loud and Quiet magazine:

Alongside writing, I host a monthly radio show, Tinned Heat, on Soho Radio and produce music under the name Dome Zero.

Hooversound Recording s, a label co-run with fellow DJ Naina, is, while slightly more traditional in its structure, quietly radical in its own right.
As the tragic passing of underground hip hop icon MF DOOM draws an endpoint on a prolific and creatively unparalleled career, the urge to make sense of his somewhat labyrinthine back catalogue grows stronger than ever.
An interview with Detroit producer John FM follow his recent release on XL Recordings.
All Caps is the return of Cairo-based producer ZULI to Lee Gamble's UIQ imprint. It's an impressively hell-bent set of experiments in dancefloor contortion, balanced with off-the-wall humour throughout. Opener 'Tany' immediately sets the pace with its blistering jungle breaks and haphazard filtering, evoking the anarchic breakbeat experiments of the influential German label Digital Hardcore.
Following years of covert drops across the digital wilderness, Dean Blunt has returned to the traditional album release model for the follow-up to his acclaimed 2014 record Black Metal.
