cable.percussion (Johnny McDowell) is a Dublin-based electronic music producer specialising in hardware-produced acid electronica. Active since early 2023, he is known for his energetic live performances and his unique style of psychological electronic music. His music is brimming with playful melodies and otherworldly acid basslines over frenetic and often aggressive beats that defy the listener to figure out its genre. Not afraid to experiment with different styles, his sound is forward-thinking, eclectic and unpredictable, but consistently held together by his signature brain-wiggling acid sounds and pummeling breaks-infused drum patterns. cable.percussion independently released his debut EP 'C.PERC' in August 2023, shortly after his debut live performance. He has since released the EP, 'Chrysalis' (Jan '24), and his first LP, '303 Mechanics' (Aug '24), with Dublin-based label Aduaine, as well as a 5-track EP called 'XYZ' with Icelandic label Intellitronic Bubble (Sep' 24), and has also recently had sing

For this session, she delivers an hour of pure peak-time pressure — a breakneck-speed ride through haywired modular experiments, slick Berlin-styled minimalism

'A Break From The Psychic Torment' encapsulates a lot about our collaborative, and somewhat contradictory, approach to making dance music together - it's wonky sound design meets joyous hooks and grooves. Basically, we take the fun seriously, because creating art designed for cathartic release in such challenging times requires commitment to joy. Both 'Ooh Sorbet' and 'Prego' are designed for dark rooms and late nights, but began life in the bucolic woods behind Zo's then-home in upstate New York, with us both rooting through the undergrowth and recording the sounds of stick hitting rock, or twig thwacking bottle, all of which became the percussive building blocks behind the tracks. Again, this was definitely a fun process - but more importantly, it gave these tracks a unique sonic identity. 'Sorbet' works around an almost Todd Edwards style cut-up of a vocal, while 'Prego' builds to a breakdown made from another field recording, this time from a park in Beijing. 'Panda Beef' and 'Let's Giggle' were both la
