Artist of the Day: Akira Kiteshi

From Last.fm, "Akira Kiteshi is Edinburgh based producer Tommy Forrest. His sound ranges from almost un-danceable wonk and glitch-hop to club bangers, dubstep and organic soundscapes."

That pretty much sums him up.

This guy is comin up big, and I wouldn't be surprised if he is a household name among djs by the end of the year. Gizmo turned me onto him a week or two ago with one of his recent singles on Black Acre Records called 'Pinball' - which is ILL.

buy the Pinball/Noglitch 12"



The main excitement for me though is Akira Kiteshi's exclusive mix for Electronic Explorations (show 071, 04.02.09), Rob Booth's (aka Surgeon) fantastic radio show. The mix is called 'Chive Hunny and the Plaster Fixers Bukakke Special'.
