He will be spinning his trademark selection of rare Funk and Disco as well as off-kilter House that has seen him inspire crate diggers and vinyl lovers alike. Label-mate Alexander Nut, who’s Saturday afternoon slot on Rinse FM has become somewhat of a one-stop shop for the Eglo sound, is known for his unpredictable sets that range from Hip-Hop to House to Broken Beat and beyond, whilst Funkineven’s futuristic take on House will be a journey through Acid and mercurial Funk. DMZ head honcho Mala will be making a special guest appearance alongside the Eglo camp on the night and based on past performances we can expect nothing but a barrage of unreleased dubs from one of Dubstep’s true originators.

Mixmag Exclusive Interview with Ben Klock
Our media partners Mixmag have pulled together this in-depth interview with Dimensions headliner Ben Klock, to chat about the life and times of the underground techno don, and speaks to him about a time when “cocky cocaine” Electroclash was making Berlin a tricky place to enjoy good techno.
Soundwall.it interview with Kyle Hall“He has always been fascinated with music, his parents were his first motivators, record stores his second home, high school an ideal place to practice his art-form. So Kyle Hall has forged ahead; at fifteen years old he released his first ep “Plastik Ambash” on FXHE, Omar S label. Don’t say he needs to grow. In fact, despite his young age he has already taught to young aspiring talents and run up his own label Wild Oats, working with friends and big names of the Detroit electronic scene and producing something new, not necessarily categorized in a specific genre.”
Ahead of his set at Dimensions Festival, Soundwall.it caught up with Kyle Hall for an exclusive interview.
