Names like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Thelonious Monk filled the air when Age of L.U.N.A stepped into Huck’s HQ to chat about influences.

They carry themselves like veterans, but producer NK-OK is only 16 and the group have had just two releases so far.
After their first record ‘Indigo’ was picked up by Gilles Peterson and DJ Semtex, they’re already getting name-checked by some big people – to match their big name influences.
