Episode 43: AK/DK
AK/DK are like nothing you've seen before. Two people each armed with a drum kit, a million synths and the desire to make it all (mostly) up on the spot. They create a hypnotic frenzy of sound, energy, and what I'm calling "vibes" to enchant and delight their now very sweaty audiences.
They've released three albums to critical acclaim, with 2020's 'Shared Particles' showcasing and encapsulating their high-octane live sound better than ever. Their incendury live shows are not to be missed. Witness their ascent to superstardom from October, when they get back on tour!
