A recording captured at the Ex Agent Post Release Party, 27th September 2025, celebrating the release of their …New Assumptions EP on Collapsing Drums. All setsthat night were beyond incredible: t l k x D/RK HUMR & Ex Agent also completely killing it… Dan had recentlytorn his achilles tendon before the gig, and yet he still delivered a seismic percussive backbone to Sam’s unhinged, roof-tearing horn with electronics…
‘Working with Dan has been a musical bucket list item for me since I first saw EP/64 in 2018 – So when Evo offered me free rein to invite anyone I would like to collaborate with for the Ex Agent launch show I leapt at the opportunity to get Dan involved. Having complete faith in a collaborator is a really special feeling, as I knew no matter how weird, or what direction I wanted to go with the sound, that Dan would transform it into something truly special. I think that sense of trust and creative freedom, and my sheer excitement to be playing with him really translated into one of the most joyous and energetic sets I’ve ever had the honour to be a part of.

’i didn’t know what to expect but i knew Sam liked EP/64 and noise and stuff so they’d probably be open to whatever i brought to the table — i always try to bring the following question to the table: ‘how can i support people to be themselves, support them in a fully free creative expression and transmit some GOOD ENERGY?’. Elvin Jones said ‘sometimes you have to play loud to get the truth out!
