Jim Bastow and Will Weeks formed the Bristol-based electronic duo KOAN Sound in 2008, building on influences ranging from contemporary classical music to technical metal. The pair initially rode the dubstep wave of the late 2000s before incorporating more organic elements, adding jazz, funk, and ambient sounds to their rapidly-expanding palette. No stranger to the festival circuit, KOAN Sound has appeared on major stages in Australia, Europe, and at multiple incarnations of the Electric Daisy Carnival. KOAN Sound released EPs consistently through the 2010s, including Funk Blaster, which featured the popular title track, and The Adventures of Mr. Fox, which contained "Sly Fox," one of the pair's best-known cuts. In 2011 the duo's star rose further when they were commissioned to remix "The A Team," the debut single from a young Ed Sheeran, followed by popular remixes of Skrillex, Kasabian, and Andain. They continued to release original music at a steady clip, pausing only to create the band's debut full-length, 2018's Polychrome, released on their own Shoshin label.
