Guest DJ Introduction
Ekwols - We are absolutely buzzing to say we also have Ekwols on the cards for DC Breaks with his absolutely insane Neurofunk production and slamming sets, we have tried a couple times previously to make it happen but didn't work out so hwg!
Bio - Dark energy plus raw emotion multiplied by head-bending studio alchemy equals Ekwols - a Scottish drum & bass artist emerging with an urgent sound, meaningful message and a deep, deep passion for evocative electronic music.
A relatively new name on the heavier, technical side of D&B, and a member of the forward facing community-spirited Evolution Chamber collective, Kenny Dargans' Ekwols project is the sun of a life spent swimming neck-deep in many musical forms
and flavours, contributing to the culture in every artistic way he can. In previous equations the Edinburgh engineer has explored myriad styles and sounds fronting punk and ska bands to running a music & arts night through the 2000s across three Scottish cities. A rootstical-minded turntablist with a love for fusion, in another alias he boils down dancehall, reggae, grime and jungle with pure soundsystem spirit, while in his day job as an electrical engineer he conjures up the future, developing tech and coding new solutions.
Forever driven by the rapid progression of technology, Ekwols music matches his mindset: complex and curious but never compromising soul for science. Applying his love for gothic aesthetics, and that strong sense of melancholy that's tangible in his music, cohesion and consistency is felt in everything Ekwols puts out into the world.
