Kevin McAuley, better known under the stage name Pangaea, creates electronic dance music that finds its energy in the borders between noises. His tracks capture the elusive and avant-garde traits that characterize club genres in their infancy rather than the self-perpetuating feedback loops that can emerge within established scenes.
Pangaea was initially motivated to concentrate on production and DJing by the nascent sounds of early dubstep. Together with friends Ben UFO and Pearson Sound, he helped start Leeds' first-ever dubstep party and founded the Hessle Audio label. The label's mission was straightforward and mirrored McAuley's approach to his own productions: to bring together unique and avant-garde music that wasn't available anywhere.
Pangaea has consistently widened the scope of his productions and DJ sets to incorporate a wider range of inspirations, fusing techno, house and jungle into their rhythmic core. The resulting music is an explosive combination with roots in UK hardcore tradition, and it has been released through Hessle Audio and labels like Hotflush and Hemlock. These characteristics are portrayed in his most recent music, which is collected on Release, his biggest and most comprehensive work to date. It is a gritty and rolling, pirate radio-infused take on techno. While the components utilized to compose it may be recognizable, like with all of his previous music, they function in a manner you may not have heard yet..
