#interviewoftheweek FROM CLASSICAL TO KOH :KATE SIMKO Don't be fooled by Kate Simko's slight frame and easy going demeanor. She may be soft-spoken, but her live performances and current production work suggest a severe departure from her upbringing. Growing up in a musical family, Simko spent much of her youth in Chicago practicing the likes of Chopin and Brahms on the piano for three to four hours a day. However, in high school Simko ventured out to parties and got her first taste of the Midwest rave scene and when she went to study at the University of Miami she got turned onto the sounds on Warp, Skam and Mouse on Mars, which served as a conduit from the 16th century influences to the burgeoning dance culture in South Florida.

#tuneoftheweek A E R O P L A N E PAGE ONE IS LOVE
Aeroplane puts together some quirky bridge sections while the main piano melody filters in perfect time to dots all the i's and cross all the t's. The main theme resembles the classic 'strings for life' and thats why we love this track so much, its the familiarity to good times gone by and what defines house music in 2015. Page 1 is most definitely love and Aeroplane is without a doubt back with another tune that puts his name at the top of many DJ and clubs playlist for months to come! Disco flavoured house at its finest. 6/5 DRW
#EPneoftheweek N U A G E
NEIDA Enter Nuage’s world of mystery and you’ll soon find yourself becoming ever-so-slightly detached from reality.

To help you escape from your daily routine have a listen to Nuage’s brand new Neida LP, out now on Project: Mooncircle, in full right here as he guides you through the album one track at a time. Dig in and enjoy the darkness.. 11/10. BP

Its been no secret that the whole globally conquering EDM movement has been slowly taking a backseat to what is rocking the clubs and festivals of late.
