Yip wong aka DEFT has become an immediately recognisable producer that skilfully hops from headphone to dance styles through cinematic sound design, driving intricate percussion and immersive atmospheres. Over the last 10 years of releasing music, DEFT has built an established reputation of his own signature sonic personality, drawing influence from hip hop, sound design, house, 140, jungle and footwork; a combination which makes him impressively adept at shaking off the constraints of genre and tempo. This has, in turn, gained him the support of bbc radio 1 & 6 dj’s such as gilles peterson, tom ravenscroft and mary anne hobbs, as well as veterans dj shadow, the glitch mob and trevor jackson amongst many others.
We are very happy to have Yip in our mixcast series, we hope all of you enjoy the mix as much as we do.
