7.20: Kristian Nairn

Who knew? When Hodor from “Game of Thrones”(aka Irish actor Kristian Nairn) isn’t protecting the Starks by sacrificing himself to the White Walkers, he quite enjoys performing as a progressive house DJ. Let’s just hope he doesn’t bring the dire wolves with him.

These former jazz students got their break when they covered Odd Future on YouTube and caught the eye of Tyler The Creator. Since, they’ve gone on to produce Ghostface Killah and collaborate with Kaytranada, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg - to name a few. While still a band at heart, this quartet always ends up sounding like a beat-driven mixtape. Their contribution to the “Late Night Tales” series drops at the end of this month.
