XLR8R PODCAST 471

"Kastle and his label Symbols embody the forward-thinking ethos at the heart of electronic music. Since debuting seven years ago, Richards' work as Kastle and the music he releases under the Symbols banner consistently strives to push sound and genres into the outer-realms of what could be considered the status quo. There are obvious stylistic touchstones in his music—UK garage, jungle, grime, hip-hop, and bass, to name a few—but Richards manages to sift them through a unique filter to create a sound that is at once familiar and foreign, a style in itself." Listen to the podcast now.

REFLECTIONS

Kastle's second studio album, Reflections, is out now. Clocking in at 12 tracks, the LP is a personal narrative and reflection of his musical history -- exploring his roots in garage and jungle while also exploring new grounds in experimental pop and brain-scrambling atmospherics.
