‘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.

MAICEE UK PREMIERE + SUPPORT FROM VIOLET AND BESIDE THE POOL Maïcee Breaking barriers is not within everyone's reach. For three years now, the French Maïcee has been working on this mission, without ever confining herself to any box and asserting her musical trajectory like no other. From Paris, this singer and rapper from Montpellier has indeed taken the time to broaden her musical spectrum as much as possible to become the artist she is today. The story begins first with the English and American rock of her parents on the road to the holidays and at home. It then continues with the electronic and drum n'bass scene of the Montpellier evenings with notably Ed Banger Records or Gesaffelstein. And continues after with the discovery of old school American rap by 2Pac, Mobb Deep or Lauryn Hill then English grime with Dizzee Rascal and Skepta. To end up today with an almost obvious musical identity: that of a hybrid artist, as comfortable rapping in impeccable English as mixing genres, in the lineage of artists like Charli XCX, Shygirl, Mura Masa, FKA Twigs or Rosalía.
