With familiar beats underneath otherworldly productions,
Mount Kimbie are arguably responsible for the birth of the term "post-dubstep." Dominic Maker and
Kai Campos formed
Mount Kimbie while both were attending Southbank University in London. In early 2009 they released their debut EP,
Maybes, via the Hotflush Recordings label. Later in the year a second EP,
Sketch on Glass, appeared and was followed by remixes for the likes of
the Big Pink,
Foals, and
the xx. Hotflush released their full-length debut,
Crooks & Lovers, in 2010. Three years later, they returned with
Cold Spring Fault Less Youth, an album that featured more vocals including two tracks with rapper
King Krule. In 2017, they delivered their third studio album,
Love What Survives, which included guest appearances from
James Blake,
King Krule, and Michachu. ~ David Jeffries
