The duo create improvised layers of fuzzed-up synths, delays and thunderous double drums. Their album ‘Patterns/Harmonics’ was lauded by BBC 6 Music and received an ‘Album of the Day’ accolade after heavy rotation from the station. Known for their high-energy and structural abandon as a live act, their stream of largely improvised layers of fizzing arpeggios and crushing motorik drums has earned them places on stages and at festivals all around the UK, Europe and South America. They’ve performed at Bluedot, Deer Shed, Manchester Psych, Latitude, End of The Road, ArcTanGent and Green Man, and have toured with Dan Deacon, The Dandy Warhols, Fujiya & Miyagi and Zombie Zombie.

Upcoming album ‘Strange Loops’, will be out in the Autumn.

“A joyful storm of synth loops, beats and beeps – AK/DK play with passion, inventiveness and smiles plastered over their faces” – Drowned In Sound

Thick Richard is a critically acclaimed spoken word artist from Manchester, UK. His work, characterised by sharp wit and incisive social commentary, has earned him a dedicated following and widespread recognition in the UK’s spoken word and poetry scenes. A must-see.

At first listen, the track might evoke comparisons to groups like The Fall and Sleaford Mods. However, Thick Richard playfully dismisses these parallels, stating, “I’m sure he (Mark E Smith) would have absolutely hated the track. In fact, I’d be very disappointed if he didn’t.”

Massive Luxury Overdose draw upon the diverse and dark sounds of gothic post-punk, new wave pop, early industrial noise, art rock, proto-techno, and 00s Electroclash.
