The Nest recruit um.. for their official MiniMix

by: Will McCarthy Jan 15, 2016

Los Angeles-based duo um.. are perhaps the most fundamentally dadaist act in modern electronic music. Ben Bruce and Dylan Gold use their stupefying technical proficiency to purvey some of the strangest, silliest, and most forward-thinking music in the electronic scene. These prodigies of peculiarity have only peeked out of the woodwork over the last year, but expect that to change now that they’ve caught Skrillex’s eye. Recently, um.. compiled an unconventionally formidable half hour mix, featuring a slew of originals and similarly inspired tracks by artists like Mr. Carmack and Penthouse Penthouse.

Ben Bruce told us their intentions with the mix:

“We wanted people to hear what an um.. show sounds like. I think it’s hard for people to see how our music translates live until you go to one of our shows. The music we make is meant to be heard live and you can tell when you’re there. It was also a nice surprise to see that OWSLA supported the mix, we didn’t expect that.”

With support from the Nest, a spot on OWSLA’s Weekender series, and a plethora of forthcoming VIPs, it seems um.. is poised for a momentous 2016.
