ITND 001: Idioteque, Cal, Zio Sica (DJ Set)

Idioteque - With an ear for all things dark, atmospheric and bass-driven, the music that flows from the restless mind of Idioteque melds worlds between trip-hop, electronic and alternative rock; taking influences from an amalgam of artists, from Elliott Smith to Outkast, The Smashing Pumpkins to Portishead, it refuses to be pigeon-holed. Bringing together a love of guitar-led melodies and unfamiliar beat structures, Idioteque’s ideas are eclectic and ever-evolving, with this latest collection of tracks honing in on his more personal and emotive side to the creative process.

Cal - Cal is a singer-songwriter originally from the South West, now based in East London. They have been writing since the age of 10, taking influences from a range of sources and musicians such as Joni Mitchell, Damien Rice and Jeff Buckley. Their lyrics aim to blend natural imagery with themes of love, longing and melancholy. Cal likes small beers and long walks, and is hopefully releasing some music March 2025.
