Kimbr - Flamethrower EP - Architecture Recordings - ARX102
Kimbr spent his 1990s youth banging drums in punk bands in Cheltenham. After being introduced to rave music in his late teens he found links between the quick tempos and blast beats of punk and the intricate breaks of dnb and jungle and relocated to Bristol to find out more about his new obsession. He was welcomed into the infamous Dissident collective and under the moniker Noisy Boy, began DJing on the Bristol warehouse party and club circuit, pushing amen driven, darkside techstep. Dissident put on their final epic party in 2010 but Kimbr continued DJing and in 2017 restarted his production journey. His tracks draw on influences from in and out of the dnb scene, bringing in the cinematic tension and dystopian aesthetic of science fiction, the swag of old skool hip hop and crushing basses reminiscent of guitar riffs, all contained within the recognisable sonics and structures of early 2000s drum and bass.
