‘MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning’ shows how Dom Maker and Kai Campos have grown over the past decade and demonstrates the two sides of Mount Kimbie’s aesthetic coin - each side produced entirely by either member. Dom’s side, ‘Die Cuts’, is colourful and melody-led, thriving on the spark of collaboration; Kai’s, ‘City Planning’, is tactile and unpredictable, the product of a deeply personal aesthetic voyage. The two sides complement each other through their contrasts. But in other ways they’re not so different. Both artists present a unique vision which stands apart from their peers; neither side could have been made by anyone but Mount Kimbie.

And Nick Bike.
