Bristol DJ duo The Kelly Twins have shared the story of how they came to be reunited with a set of missing records a decade after they were originally assumed long gone.

The story begins with the brothers DJing an eight-hour set of UK garage, house and disco at The Bell near Stokes Croft in their base of Bristol in 2011, for which they packed a number of rare records along. After finishing up and taking a taxi home, they later realised that one bag of the three they had taken with them was missing, and it contained around 80 records.

Following their 2019 debut release on Livity Sound, Cando’s six-track ‘Clutch’ EP offers four original cuts of percussive UK techno, accompanied by remixes from scene fixtures Bakongo and Kouslin. 

From the sizzling syncopated club beat of ‘Clutch’ and deconstructed dub of ‘14U’ to the chirruping melodies of ‘Ambivalence’, this EP touches on numerous corners of the current UK scene, and has garnered early support from the likes of Surgeon, Peverelist and Hodge.
