Supporting DISK Artists

Like the rest of the world, CTM & DISK are currently embroiled in efforts to keep our audience, artists, and team safe and healthy. We wanted to take a moment to express our care for and solidarity with all those affected, and our support for physical distancing measures.

While we don’t wish to minimise or divert attention away from any struggles, we do want to highlight the fact that the ecosystems that we are a part of have been hit very hard. Many in music are precarious already and are wholly dependent on income from live music gatherings. 

We are thinking about how we can best support those in our scenes. In the meantime, please consider how you can help sustain the artists you love. While recorded music sales can’t make up for lost income due to gig cancellations, Bandcamp is waiving their share of sales today, so it's a great time to directly support artists you love. Here is a selection of releases from DISK artists.

Take care of yourselves! Stay home and stay well.

DISK Welcomes Cakes Da Killa

Cakes Da Killa, the New York rapper spitting rapid-fire, ruthlessly witty tongue twisters over pulse-racing, dance-inspired beats, hit the scene with his 2013 mixtape Eulogy, quickly garnering him a international following. Since then he has been touring the world helping to fuel the dialogue around LGBTQ + acceptance in urban music. Collaborations with diverse artists such as Peaches, LSDXOXO and Honey Dijon have further elevated the artist among the elite of New York City’s underground sound. Following his debut album Hedonism (2016), Cakes Da Killa is currently wrapping up his sophomore album to be released in the summer of 2020. First singles Luv Me Not and Wild 4 The Night are scheduled for early spring 2020.

FAKA member Desire Marea releases debut album

After extensively touring with FAKA in the past few years, Desire Marea has embarked on an individual sonic journey rooted in their own healing. Desire's eponymous debut album was released on January 10th 2020 via Izimakade Records and can be streamed via FACT Magazine on our artist page.

DISK Welcomes Aquarian

Hybrid, mutated strains of rave music with influence from the sounds of London, Detroit, and Berlin – Aquarian makes raw, arresting and immediate music aimed squarely at the dance floor. His latest release on Houndstooth with collaborator Deapmash under the pseudonym AQXDM perfectly exemplifies the forward, hybrid sound you can expect from Aquarian.
