following releases on redlights lobster boy label & breachs naked naked imprint, mak & pasteman return with their own label, materials.

following the labels crucial dispatch from dusky earlier this summer, naked naked invite one of the most exciting names to have emerged in house music in recent times, mak & pasteman. the london duo have had an exceptional year, with their stripped-back, sub-soaked, genre-smelting bass fusion appearing in all the right places and playlists.

kill kill is the name of the last ep of wat, resulting from the electro rock odyssey wonder. a video clip, filmed in los angeles, accompanies the output of the song, with remy cayuela (one more prod) at the helm. the track, electro tinged funk and hip-hop, sounds like the soundtrack of a rebounding road movie. kill kill is an indirect reference to movies from the 60’,s, and among others, those of russ meyer. faster pussycat kill kill, does it ring a bell?
