AK SPORTS - Displaced

Recording info

Debuting on Sydney based label Gallery Records in 2020 - inspired by the lack of female faces in a male-dominated scene - AK Sports has been setting the standard for her style of high energy, new-age rave spanning breaks, electro, grime, jungle, techno as she finds her footing in the contemporary electronic circuit between London and LA. Releases and remixes have followed on Dansu Discs, Mad Decent and CLUB GLOW (where she produced a collaborative EP with rising artist Kessler), and now the Aussie producer readies her Lobster Theremin debut; six varied and stylistic cuts of techno, electro and distinct Sports-rave.

'Dial Up' is a pirate radio inspired, scattered break warper that captures an underground, empty warehouse energy. Flashes of bright, coloured lasers enter the fray on 'You Want Some' - an uplifting, happy-hardcore influenced cut of breakbeat-techno - before the progressive, bubbling patterns of 'Listen Now' deepen the undercurrents.

The B-side opens with 'Odorimashou!' - a lo-fi industrial experiment laced with trance and jack-hammer melodies - while 'Twin Flame' switches the vibe again with it's high-speed, malfunctioning electro aesthetic.

Bringing Displaced to an end is 'The Humans Are Dead' - a dystopian trip through a Fallout-like apocalypse soundtracked by 80s horror styled melodies and futuristic laser blasts.
