ADDICTIVE TV

In their extraordinary work, ADDICTIVE TV delve deeply into films and videos, hunting for sounds and images to sample, creating dance music that fuses everything from fidget and electro to drum ‘n’ bass and rock. Borrowing from hip-hop’s cut ‘n’ paste, as British newspaper The Guardian put it “Addictive TV continue to take hip-hop's scratch philosophy into the cyberpunk age”. They create their music by keeping the audio and video samples together, so their fans get to see more than just a DJ, more than just graphics or visuals: they get to experience music in a genuinely unique way.
