Kuedo

Under the name Kuedo, British sound designer Jamie Teasdale produces widescreen cinematic electronic music informed equally by '80s film soundtracks and contemporary hip-hop and club music. Teasdale first rose to prominence as one half of Vex'd, a duo whose aggressive blend of dub, hip-hop, and industrial noise became a major influence on dubstep and grime. After the duo split around 2008, Teasdale released solo material as Dakimh and Jamie Vex'd before establishing his Kuedo moniker in 2010. Debut EP Dream Sequence appeared on Planet Mu that year, followed by the Videowave EP and his debut full-length Severant, in 2011. Kuedo's long-awaited second full-length, Slow Knife, dropped in 2016. ~ Paul Simpson
