XLR8R

Synths, snares, and computer-generated mayhem. Such is the music on Don Rimini's Kick'n Run EP. The Paris-based producer's work has been labeled everything from "an education in the ghetto clubs" to "gutter rave at its best," and drawn the attention of Aaron LaCrate and Delicious Vinyl founder Rick Ross. "Nervous Breakdown" features screaming synths and jittery drum programming, and could quite possibly induce the state its name suggests. Photo by Bastien Lattanzi.
