Midnight in a Perfect World: Klein

Midnight In A Perfect World

Alex Ruder

London-based Nigerian-British artist Klein creates fascinating, unpredictable, experimental music that truly exists in a world unto itself. Debuting the project back in 2016, Klein's 2017 EP Tommy found a home on renowned UK label Hyperdub Records, and since then she's been releasing a majority of her music on her own label, Parkwuud Entertainment. Her latest album marked came out in late July and it showcased the boundary-pushing artist tapping into a dense, swirling, guitar-heavy terrain that's both thrilling and unsettling.

Klein's exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a captivatingly intense and singular psychedelic journey. Smearing together the outer fringes of rock, grime, showreels, and experimental sounds, and then further slowing and distorting them into outer leftfield territory, Klein's mix reflects her own music's ability to blur the lines between fact and fiction.
