Against the Clock is a series 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.
Philadelphia’s King Britt has released countless records in his 20+ year career. He cut his teeth as the DJ for hip-hop heroes Digable Planets, and started releasing solo records in the late 1990s, both under the King Britt name and various other aliases.
In recent years he’s focused on his house-influenced Fhloston Paradigm alias, with a new EP due on Hyperdub – and it’s in Fhloston mode that he goes Against the Clock (though let’s face it, this is about 20 alias’s worth of gear on show.)
