Joe Unknown

Of all the things Britain excels at, sessioning a rave from Thursday to Monday lands slap bang at the top of the list. Just ask newcomer Joe Unknown. He charged around the UK’s straight-through-scene, finding hearts in muddied fields and darkened rooms, before landing on his hyper-alive sound. As he boasts on the single ‘Ride’, “I like to participate in life’s little edge.” His upcoming project is all about stretching toward a level of longevity that lasts longer than the weekend. Featuring tales of crews finding solace in one another and relationships turning from dreams to nightmares, twined together with news report samples and overheard conversations, it’s an insight into contemporary Britain that’s ready to go off as much as it’s there to help cushion the comedown.
