Musicians and masks. What’s that all about, hey? If it worked for MF Doom, Daft Punk, Deadmau5, SBTRKT and, well, Marshmello, then I’m sure it’ll work nicely for talented young London duo Jadu Heart too. Newly signed to Guernsey-born producer Mura Masa’s Anchor Point label on which, aside from his own stuff like the ASAP Rocky-featuring Love$ick, Mura Masa has released music for i-D one to watch Bonzai.

So, Jadu Heart. Who are they? While studying music together at BIMM, Dina and Faro worked on a project to write a song in character. They created their masked Jadu Heart alter-egos, then a comic book that illustrated their backstory, before deciding they were probably on to a good thing. Their ambient debut EP Wanderflower came out back in 2016, followed by Ezra’s Garden, and though you might not know it, their music has already racked up a massive 10M streams across Spotify and Apple Music.

To celebrate the release of their new single, the otherworldly trop pop U Never Call Me with label boss Mura Masa, Jadu Heart have made us a very weird but very wonderful mix that they’ve called ‘Through The Warp Hole’. Where else are you going to hear Aphex Twin transition into the score from The Dark Crystal?

“We get inspired by films probably more than music, especially how film music can change an atmosphere and suck you into a different world,” they told us via the medium of email. “We feel that all these tunes have a certain magic to them and will hopefully take you on some sort of inter-dimensional journey. We threw in some edits for fun as well.” Why not, eh. It is almost Christmas.
