Samuel Kerridge

Samuel Kerridge surfaced in late 2012 with a remarkable and self assured debut on the ultra-picky Horizontal Ground. This didn't go unnoticed by Karl O'Connor, and Samuel followed with two critically acclaimed EP's and a righteous LP 'A Fallen Empire' on the infamous Downwards Records.

Kerridge has found a perfect home for his highly original productions of unfettered sonic exploration, re-defining the relationship between rhythm and sound design with decimating kick drums and feedback, and unearthly amounts of distortion until you're left with a dripping, toxic style of techno.

It's not from Detroit, but it's more about where Kerridge is at – creating seductive, darkly soulful music.

Not afraid to question people's perceptions of clubbing, he Co-founded the Contort events in Berlin, not only as an outlet for his own artistic vision, but to bring back a level of creativity and magic to a stale club scene.
