Bside Incoming: Contours

Bside Incoming: Contours We’re touching back down in the UK for our 65th episode! After our recent adventure to Seoul and Amsterdam this weeks episode is brought to you by Manchester based DJ, producer, and drummer: Contours. “Contours’ sound explores the spaces, rhythms and textures that sit between House, Jazz, Afro-Beat, Electronica and Hip-Hop”. When he’s not laying down irrisistable grooves for the North-West and London alike, he’s tucked away in his studio producing nuggets of electronic gold. Releasing his music on past guests Rhythm Section, Shall Not Fade, and this little gem of afro ambiance, the B2 of his ‘Cosmic Echoes’ EP on ANMA records: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF2p8Pg0r40 His stature as an accomplished percussionist and selector really bursting through in his colourful Bside mixtape: The first half an hour packed full of global jazz that is clearly a major influence of his, before diving into the more electronic elements replicated in his own productions, a little dip into dub, and a thorough focus on rolling percussive grooves throughout.
