The UK hardcore scene is fertile ground these days, and London’s Dynamite are among its many standouts. Dynamite haven’t released a full-length yet, but they’ve already played all over the world and perfected their driven, purposeful, straight-ahead style. Dynamite collaborated with people like High Vis’ Graham Sayle and Turnstile’s Meg Mills on their 2023 debut EP Blow The Bloody Doors Off!, and they followed it with last year’s Settle The Score. Now, they’ve finally got an album on the way.
Despite a personality-defining affinity for esoteric electronics, I am not a Boards Of Canada diehard. When I want IDM, I usually reach for Aphex Twin or Squarepusher. In the scope of 1990s Warp Records, I am partial to Seefeel, Two Lone Swordsmen, and Plaid. Even the way I discovered the Scottish project in high school left me cold: A chatty classmate told me about Music Has The Right To Children during a Spanish lecture, causing the teacher to call my parents and scold my lack of focus.

Angine De Poitrine brought their viral chaos to the iconic stage of Later… with Jools Holland, and showed even more people why they are such a sensation.
The duo were part of a line-up that also included Shania Twain, Sam Smith and Arlo Parks, and drew the most attention simply by being there in full polka dot attire.
But then when they started playing, they reminded all in attendance, and those watching at home, exactly why 2026 belongs to them.
The duo are, first and foremost, incredible players. Matching each other’s ability with an intensity, intricacy and joy that only comes from being completely in sync with your counterpart.
Then, it’s all in the details. From the way that drummer Klek de Poitrine lets their nose flop from side to side whilst they perform to the polka dots painted onto guitarist Khn de Poitrine’s bare feet and wrists that the camera perfectly frame, it’s an even more concrete sign of just how committed to their image the duo are.
And then there is the music. Swaying between rhymthmic foot tappers and all-out sonic assaults, each one built from the ground up, it is sensational to behold.
Check out both ‘Fabienk’ and ‘Sarniezzz’ below. Mindblowing stuff.
