Against the Clock is a series on FACT TV where we give an artist 10 minutes in the studio and see what they come up with. You can watch all the past episodes here.
Taking the challenge this week, Dark0. Based in Northwest London, Dark0 blends grime and hip-hop structures with soaring synth melodies, inspired by soundtracks, RPGs and generally getting waved – we’re basing that last bit on his Twitter account, which is one of the best around. Last year’s Bandcamp EP, I’m Not A Sweet Boy, was one of last year’s most enduring sleeper hits, and he followed it up last month with the Sin EP on Visionist’s Lost Codes label (you can watch him and Visionist play FACT Singles Club here).
FACT and Ableton are teaming up for an Against the Clock competition, where our readers can take on the challenge and win prizes of £1000+ in value. For more on that, head here.
