Distinkt

Distinkt

Distinkt has been played on NTS shows including Topias w/ Gabriel Meier, with China Town first played on 11 February 2023.

Distinkt, real name Aidan Hill, is a Brighton-based electronic music producer. He has carved out a special place for himself in the electronic music genre with a style that combines grime, bass, and techno components.

Perhaps he was destined to become a musician, in one way or another. Aidan’s father is a luthier (a stringed instrument maker and repairer) and growing up, he was fascinated by his dad’s workshop. “I was always going in there when I was little, trying to see what was going on,” he recalls. When the family moved to Spain, he took up the drums after receiving a kit for his birthday. It was there in Spain he got his first taste of electronic music. Venturing into local internet cafés with his older sister, he often found himself tuning into whatever she was listening to. “I used to play BMX games while she was on MSN and listening to Pendulum,” he laughs. “That was the first time I heard d’n’b.” Years passed, and eventually he moved back to England to continue his studies, discovering the illegal rave scene in the process.
