We've been keeping our ears uncomfortably close to the ground, anticipating the deep rumblings stemming from Chairman Kato for awhile now - well, ever since the release of the Wildfire EP on the ever marvelous Pictures Music at the start of the year. And here we are eight months later with an imbalanced, disfigured and muddy ear, for this week sees the release of Science & Romance on Awkward Movements - a generous six-track EP that's full of fuzzy cut-up leftfield electronica, dripping in dark, claustrophobic melodies; a definite [...]
This week Chairman Kato celebrates the release of his latest EP, Science & Romance . It marks a significant step forward for the London producer; a collection of dense, highly focused, often overwhelming tracks that bring to mind sprawling subterranean encampments. 'Total Internal Reflection' doesn't appear on that record, but it is no less compelling. It's a claustrophobic, blizzard-coated track, like driving with your headlights dipped through the heaviest snow imaginable. Snippets of wobbling melody appear every so often, suggesting the presence of a whole other piece of music just out of [...]

Always ahead of the curve when it comes to club music, Kato consistently moves crowds with an array of sounds that they otherwise wouldn't be exposed to. Whether playing at a festival or a late night set in clubs Australia wide, his knack for knowing what to play and when to play it has never failed and anyone who's heard one of his sets would agree.

But, it turns out, he is also a visual artist - and tonight he is opening a group exhibition called Underpin.
