Mount Kimbie have always been an intriguing duo, occupying an unusual space as a self-proclaimed "band" in dance music.

Kai Campos and Dominic Maker thrive off this lack of classification. In a 2013 interview with Resident Advisor, Campos revealed that during their formative years "we weren't as massively into club culture as a lot of people." They've never accepted the restrictive dimensions of any genre, steaming ahead on a path of discovery into the unknown like a musical Vasco da Gama.

It's an outlook that has seen Mount Kimbie become one of the definitive electronic outfits of this decade.

The pair emerged through the later ranks of the FWD>> generation, in an era when every single producer was branded with the broad and largely meaningless label "post-dubstep". If Mount Kimbie is a project that was born from the brain of dubstep originators, we'd say they materialised out of a blissful afternoon daydream Skream would have had rather than a dark nightmare from the mind of Loefah.

Mount Kimbie shunned the bass-heavy leanings of dubstep on debut album 'Crooks & Lovers', instead pioneering a sound that deconstructed the genre and pumped it full of light, resulting in far warmer and hazier textures like those heard on single 'Carbonated'. An altogether unique approach that only found counterparts in the hordes of derivative producers that soon rushed to jack their style.
