AK/DK

AK/DK, have carved a unique niche in the music landscape with their exhilarating blend of blistering rhythms and searing bass lines. Formed by Ed Chivers and Gee Sowerby; AK/DK burst onto the scene with a sound that marries the raw energy of punk with the pulsating beats of electronic music, echoing the influences of iconic groups like LCD Soundsystem, The Units, and Devo. Their live shows seem to super-charge every venue; leading to convulsive dancing and sweaty chaos - both audience and band.

Their journey began with completely improvised one-off performances, which led to a series of releases that have garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. Their last album ‘Shared Particles’ featured remixes from Snapped Ankles, A Certain Ratio, Ibibio Sound Machine, Warm Digits and Plastic Mermaids, and reached No 7 in the official UK Indie Record Shop charts.

The forthcoming Album Strange Loops sees the band collaborating with guest vocalists for the first time and features shoegaze maestro; TVAM, Manchester Punk Poet; Thick Richard, and experimental sound artist/vocalist; I Am Fya. The second side of the record allows space for more expansive synth explorations reminiscent of Bowie’s Low.

Strange Loops is released October 25th on LittleMissEcho Recordings, distributed by Cargo.
