Deep Space | Kahn

Hailing from Bristol (U.K) and having grown up immersed in the city's renowned culture of sound systems, punk rock and hip hop; Kahn is at the forefront of the new wave of Bristol producers and DJs.

From his first vinyl releases in 2011 on cult record label Punch Drunk Records to his more recent cuts on Mala's Deep Medi label, Kahn has established himself as one of the most diverse producers of his generation.

His production style tends to draw influence from dub reggae, early 2000's grime, digital dancehall, UK steppers and music from across the 140bpm spectrum. As part of the Young Echo collective, Kahn has also explored other areas of electronic music and incorporates his own vocals and instrumentation into his sound.

As a DJ, Kahn keeps true to the traditions of sound system culture with sets full of dubplates and versions. Whether performing solo as Kahn, alongside fellow grime producer and DJ Neek or as Gorgon Sound (dub and dancehall project also with Neek), it's always a dubplate and vinyl operation.
As well as releases and affiliations with a number of respected record labels, Kahn also runs his own imprint with Neek, Bandulu Records. Since forming at the beginning of 2012, the record label has gone on to showcase the darker forms of instrumental Grime permeating from Bristol's current underground scene, with limited runs of heavyweight vinyl and hand screen-printed artwork.
