CRIMES AGAINST POP – 110

All the way from Arizona, Paul and Carolyn play new music from Billy Nomates’ forthcoming album (coincidentally called “CACTI”), the latest from Phoenix (which is also where Paul and Carolyn are), and champion the long-awaited return of Blood Orange. There’s also tracks from Weyes Blood, a tortoise-based song from Dry Cleaning, and new music from Hallan. Last but by no means least there’s a track from Faux Real, who are currently supporting Wet Leg on their US tour.

Crimes Against Pop – aka Paul Haswell and Carolyn Wright – have been DJing together since 2003, when they launched their eponymous monthly residency at the Buffalo Bar in London.

As well as hosting their own regular sold out nights in London, Haswell and Wright appeared regularly at Rob Da Bank's Bestival festival on the Isle of Wight, before moving to Hong Kong in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Since then, Crimes Against Pop have brought their eclectic mix of pop, hip-hop, r’n'b and electronica to major events such as Clockenflap and the Rugby Sevens, while earning a reputation for packing the dancefloor at bars and clubs across the city. They’re also known for getting Sunday mornings off to the perfect start with their Pop Fugitives radio show on RTHK3.
