Mount Kimbie

Mount Kimbie is a British electronic duo that formed in London, England in 2008.

Mount Kimbie are made up of Kai Campos and Dom Maker. Kai is originally from St. Austell in Cornwall, while Dom is from Brighton. They met at Southbank University in London, where Kai was having another go at university and Dom was studying film. They started making music together at a home studio in Peckham.

Arguably responsible for the term "post-dubstep", the duo has released two unique EPs and have been described by the Guardian as "leading an exploratory breakaway from bass-heavy dubstep towards a lighter, hazier style of electronica rich with drowsy ambience and chopped-up found sounds."

The band's debut album, entitled Crooks and Lovers, was released on 19 June 2010 in the UK to critical acclaim, and achieved a 7.9 ADM Rating on review aggregator website AnyDecentMusic?.

At the end of 2010, Crooks & Lovers was included in over thirty 'Best of 2010' lists, including NME, Mixmag, DJ Magazine, Resident Advisor, Pitchfork Media, Drowned In Sound, Boomkat, FACT, Roughtrade and Phonica Records. NME listed them at number 22 in their 30 Artists For 2011.
