NY*AK
details on NY*AK are scant. We know he’s 36, from Newcastle and has been DJing since he was 17, and that he started dabbling in production five years ago. But most importantly, we know he’s made one of the most impressive EPs of the year so far. ‘Dollar’ is out on Ninja Tune affiliate Technicolour and has won props from Gilles Peterson, Moodymann and Seven Davis Jr. A self-confessed hardware addict, NY*AK’s employed classic equipment to create four groove-laden yet punchy tracks that recall the likes of Theo Parrish and Kenny Dope.
