Mount Kimbie is a British electronic music duo formed by Dominic Maker and Kai Campos in London, 2008. The pair met at the University of Brighton and have been crafting innovative soundscapes ever since. Known for their unique blend of post-dubstep, experimental rock, electronic, and ambient music, Mount Kimbie has been a significant influence in the U.K. electronic music scene. Their early work, often characterized by a use of field recordings, intricate percussion, and atmospheric synths, helped to shape the post-dubstep sound that emerged in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Following their critically acclaimed debut album "Crooks & Lovers" in 2010, Mount Kimbie has continued to push musical boundaries across several studio albums and collaborations with artists like James Blake and King Krule. With a penchant for reinvention, their sonic evolution can be witnessed through their substantial body of work, including their more recent releases such as "Dumb Guitar" and the multi-faceted project "MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning." Notably, their album "City Planning" and the accompanying "City Planning (Remixes)" showcase their ongoing ability to reshape their music through diverse approaches, emphasizing their commitment to both studio craft and the collaborative ethos. Mount Kimbie stands out for their consistent innovation and contribution to the electronic music landscape, ensuring their position as avant-garde architects of sound.
