One of our favourite duos,
@factamusic and
@k_lone_ aka the
@wisdomteethuk label bosses, have blessed us with a colourful and lively mix for our Herbarium mix series. With unreleased tracks by
@djplead ,
@iglew_ ,
@a.wild__ and the two artists themselves, this is a mix full of surprises, perfect for the blooming spring season.
For the 38th mix of our series, the duo has taken inspiration from the moonflower. In their words, the moonflower, unlike most flowers, blooms at dusk, and opens for a single night only. After many months lying dormant, this inconspicuous looking climber will reveal expansive flowers 8-inches in diameter. Nighttime pollinators, such as moths and bats, are attracted to the flower’s heavy scent. By the morning, the bloom withers and dies.
Seeing an open moonflower at night under the full moon is a rare and beautiful sight.

About Facta and K-LONE
Facta and K-LONE are producers, DJs and multi-instrumentalists from London (UK), and co-founders of the celebrated electronic record label, Wisdom Teeth.
Together they have sculpted a distinct sonic identity that marries the disparate club sounds they grew up alongside - techno, dubstep, garage, house and jungle - with more esoteric influences drawn from ambient, jazz, dub, experimental electronics and beyond. As such their music typically marries the groove, functionality and physicality of dance music with more challenging ideas drawn from further afield, contrasting bright, colourful and melodic elements with layers of manipulated noise and bleeping electronics.
Between them their music has found a home on a spread of their generation’s most vital imprints, including AUS, Fabric, Houndstooth, Young, Incienso, Livity Sound, Tempa, Idle Hands and Dr Banana - as well as on their own label, Wisdom Teeth, which they co-founded in 2014.
