DT912 - Kevin Knapp - Data Transmission

Plump Records bosses Kevin Knapp and Hutchtastic bring serious energy to the podcast this week, stepping up to celebrate their brand new release ‘Nobody Funk With Us’, out now on their own label.

Dropping on Valentine’s Day, the track is a bold, confident slice of House music – loaded with fizzing synths, punchy beats, and an empowering vocal that champions self-love and unity. It’s the kind of statement record you’d expect from the Oakland-based couple, who’ve built Plump Records into a hub for freedom, fun, and fierce grooves.

Knapp’s no stranger to the scene, with heavyweight releases on Dirtybird, Hottrax, Sola, and more – plus collabs with Richy Ahmed and Hannah Wants. Hutchtastic brings her own flair to the mix, as a vocalist, visual artist, and producer with a fearless approach to creativity. Together, their third collab continues to push the label’s inclusive ethos to the forefront.

Lock into this week’s podcast and catch Kevin Knapp laying it down in the mix – high-energy, funk-fuelled, and full of fire.

Today, he returns to the podcast. Listen to it below, on Mixcloud or iTunes here.

Grahame Farmer’s love affair with electronic music goes back to the mid-90s when he first began to venture into the UK’s beloved rave culture, finding himself interlaced with some of the country’s most seminal club spaces. A trip to dance music’s anointed holy ground of Ibiza in 1997 then cemented his sense of purpose and laid the foundations for what was to come over the next few decades of his marriage to the music industry.
