In the space of two short years, Kahn has made a deep impression on the electronic music landscape. Starting with a debut on Peverelist’s institution Punch Drunk, a rite of passage for any new Bristol-based artist, Kahn proceeded to release on a number of well-respected imprints including Idle Hands, Deep Medi and his own Bandulu Recordings. His music draws effortlessly on wide-reaching influences, touching on soulful UK Garage, bristling grime and shimmering, technicolor hiphop. Alongside his solo productions and busy DJ schedule, Kahn is also a member of the hotly-tipped Young Echo crew - a loose collection of musical collaborators, who broadcast marathon Ustream sessions from their underground bunker, and whose debut compilation is due for release in March 2013.

Now ready to deliver his most ambitious record to date, Kahn has drawn on his rich and varied influences to build an EP which expands beyond grime and dubstep and into more classic Bristol territory, inhabiting a musical space which shares direct lineage as much with Nellee Hooper and the Wild Bunch as it does more recent tropes. Featuring a turn from grime legend Flowdan as well as Rider Shafique and Young Echo emcee J a b u, this will also be the first record to showcase Kahn's own vocals."
