About AK/DK

The dynamic synth and drum duo, have carved a unique niche in the music landscape with their exhilarating blend of blistering rhythms and searing bass lines. Formed by Ed Chivers and Gee Sowerby, AK/DK burst onto the scene with a sound that marries the raw energy of punk with the pulsating beats of electronic music, echoing the influences of iconic groups like LCD Soundsystem, The Units, and The Prodigy. Their live experience is nothing short of electrifying. Audiences all across the UK, Europe and South America have been engrossed in the powerful and expansive live-looping post-punk-disco shows. Their journey began with a passion for improvisation and a love for analogue synths. Fans of Devo and Kraftwerk will find much to admire in AK/DK’s music, which is a testament to the power of DIY creativity, characterised by its spontaneous, high-octane energy and intricate, layered compositions. AK/DK’s fourth album, ‘Strange Loops’, represents a new chapter in their evolution. This latest release sees the band collaborating with guest vocalists for the first time, adding a new dimension to their already rich soundscape. Inspired by iconic albums like Talking Heads’ “Remain In Light”, Bowie’s “Low” and Kate Bush’s “Hounds Of Love”, Strange Loops is a creative tour-de-force, split into two distinct halves. The A side delivers infectious, high-energy tracks, while the B side explores more experimental and ambient territories.
