AV AV AV 'Total Recall' (Parlophone Music Denmark)
It’s not every day that you fire up Snapchat to see Skrillex and Diplo listening to your EP on their private jet. But that’s exactly what happened to three Danish friends who were holed up in a remote cottage making music with no real expectation of success under the name AV AV AV. Diplo declared their music as “future gospel”, but there’s nothing ecclesiastical about ‘Total Recall’. A banger in every sense of the word, it’s a meaty cut of bone-shaking big-room electro that’s primed for main stages the world over. It’s not hard to see why Fatboy Slim has been championing the trio, too, and with a world-beating live show in the works, things are looking rosy for them.
