Oh yes, Espionage is back at Revolt Artspace in Kensington. For those of you that were at the Mount Kimbie and Tokimonsta shows, you know what it's all about, for those that haven't, well, it's something to experience.

Agents on the scene so far:

Onra (France)
Silkie (UK)
Jon Convex (UK)
Nick de Friez & Ed Zuccollo (NZ)
JPS Feat Syreneyiscreamy
NAM
Edd Fisher
Sean Deans

Born and based in Paris, France, Onra (or Arnaud Bernaud, as he is less well-known) first appeared on his producer friend Quetzal’s 2006 collab-album Tribute. Since then the Red Bull Music Academy attendee has had the internet buzzing over several releases which see the producer skilfully manoeuvre through a myriad of influences. His ‘Chinoiseries 2’ album, set to drop in November on All City, is being waited upon with bated breath and it’s not hard to see why – Onra’s keen engagement with the a la mode of current beat music set to the backdrop of the rhythms and dynamism of hip hop has been, and no doubt will again be a surefire winner.

Fans of Mala’s Deep Medi label will be familiar with Silkie’s trademark ‘purple’ sound, which demonstrated the funky, twisted side of Dubstep, House and Boogie on this year’s ‘City Limits 2,’ whereas this year, Jon Convex stepped out of his famed Instra:mental duo to present two singles on Martyn’s 3024 label that took on a Techier edge to his usual minimal Drum n Bass output as part of the duo behind Fabriclive 50 and the famed Autonomic podcasts with D:Bridge.
