Acre is fast becoming one of the UK's most distinctive young producers. On releases for Codes x PAN, Mumdance's Fabriclive, Project 13, and in Fact Mag's #13 album of the year with Better Strangers on Tectonic, his music reflects a fractal paradigm shift of the binds between grime, techno, and electronica, whilst also absorbing influence from the chemtrails of US trap and echoes of dubstep in a fashion that's eminently UK.
It's a style that strongly informs Acre's unpredictable, deft 'n rugged DJ style at P13 and has him booked for his first dates in Japan this April (Dommune 28th / Socore Factory, Osaka 29th / Forest Limit, Tokyo 30th) and upcoming shows at Sudblock (Berlin, 25th March), Future Everything (MCR, 1st April), Nouveau Casino w/ P13 (Paris, 9th April).
With key releases planned for future, and a growing presence of his Project 13 operations, it's a pleasure to work with Acre at this exciting curve.

Kamixlo's music lies at the riveting, emergent edge of grime, reggateon and experimental bass dimensions. The London-located producer's Demonico EP with Visionist's Codes X Pan marked out bold, unique new territory between established poles, a sound which he's key in fostering at the Bala Club events and with his NTS show, which will soon be showcased on the forthcoming Bala Club compilation + a second solo EP.
At the crux of new club movements lead by pan-latin diaspora artists, Kamixlo's music been compared and aligned with Berlin's boundary-pushing Janus Club sound, who just shared a 2 room event with Bala Club at Corsica Studios feat. M.E.S.H., Total Freedom b2b Sami Baha, Uli K, Chino Amobi and Nkisi, a.o.

Underground dancehall pop god, Palmistry is prepping a debut album for Mixpak widely anticipated to rank among the year's best. To date, the London-based producer has released on Lorenzo Senni's Presto!? and produced for HIT (RIP) on Triad God's cult NXB mixtape. He will reprise those relationships in an upcoming Triad God LP for Presto!?, and has most recently been heard producing for Ecuador/LDN's Blaze Kidd ahead of the album.
Palmistry's mix for Rinse France is a perfect place to start if you're unfamiliar, and we'd recommend checking his VIPs like Catch, Lil Gem or Memory Taffeta to get the bug like everyone else, and catch up with this older interview with The Fader.
We are stoked to be working with Palmistry and can see strong interest surrounding the impending album launch so please register enquiries with katarzyna@annexagency.co.uk soon.

Cairo-based ZULI debuted on Lee Gamble's UIQ label with the Bionic Ahmed EP to resounding acclaim from JUNO, Fact, and The Vinyl Factory in early 2016. In Cairo he's a key player in the KiK (Kairo is Koming) group and one of the heads behind the city's pivotal collectives, VENT, as recently documented by Resident Advisor, where he's founded a beacon for egyptian electronic music.
With DJ support by Demdike Stare and Kode9 on Radio 1, ZULI's debut 12" covers a unique electronic perspective taking cues from classic UK rufige and Æ's computer music as hip hop. You can hear those disparate junctures in his wicked takeover for Lee Gamble's NTS show, and soon enough on his upcoming 12" on VENT's own label, launching this summer.
