Holed up in her Berlin studio, Kate Pending explores the electronic landscape with taste and charisma, offering contemporary stylings with a decisive genre-bending character. You see, the talented sonic wizard is not just a producer; first and foremost, she’s a creative, a pure, unfiltered artist, following her own path towards building a specific artistic vision. That very same vision is perhaps more evident in ‘Dystopian Dreams’, her latest offering.
Championing nuanced and textural electronica, Pending layers glitchy beats and garage-inspired grooves over long, abstract synthy soundscapes, embarking on a digital route that still manages to echo organic softness. An ethereal and dreamy offering, ‘Dystopian Dreams’ does exactly what it says on the tin, opening up the doors of escapism for any listeners willing to take the trip. We certainly are.
A multi-talented being, Kate also flourishes in visual and cyber art, something that makes the project quite vibey and relatable while pushing towards innovation of the contemporary. Reiterating the mission behind the record, Pending shares: “Whether it’s utopian, protopian or dystopian, it’s all about the dream.”
