Kai Hugo is Palmbomen, Dutch producer and multi-instrumentalist with palette for the peculiar. Following the release of Moon Children through NON Records and inclusion on Kitsuné Maison Compilation 10, 2012 saw the full length debut Night Flight Europa. The LP's single "Stock" was remixed by Soulwax for the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto V. Red Bull Music Academy, which invited Hugo as a participant in 2011, describes his work as "awash with the genetics of German pioneers like Supersempfft and Kraftwerk... [and] filters his love of Italo disco and proto house." Live visuals that include an array of LEDs and lasers complete Palmbomen's multi-sensory experience. After relocating to Los Angeles, Hugo has begun recording and touring his new solo side project Palmbomen II. The work, which draws more from early 80s house music, will see release on Beats in Space in 2015.
