PULL
Active · Resident of Project REPLICA
PULL (born Kaine Osei, 2 December 2003) is an electronic producer and MC from Croydon, South London, and a resident of Project REPLICA — the fully replicated reality layer of the SPATIALx.io continuum. Signed to FARA Records, he works the UK half-time bass tradition — soundsystem-first production and short, low, direct call-outs — on a single rule: four words on the kick, then get out of the way.
Black British, from a Ghanaian-British family that has lived in Croydon since his grandparents, PULL treats the town where UK dubstep itself began as home rather than a story to escape — and builds every record around the space he refuses to fill.
Early life
PULL grew up under the tower cluster visible from half of Surrey, in a family that had been in the same part of Croydon for three generations — Ghanaian-British, settled there since his grandparents. Croydon carries a very specific weight in his world: the record shop that helped produce UK dubstep was a ten-minute walk from where he grew up, and it closed before he was born — which he considers the single most Croydon fact available.
Formation in Croydon
He found his way in through sound systems before software — on a mic at house parties and youth-club nights from about fifteen, learning the call-out tradition the way it's actually learned: in rooms, at volume, over other people's tracks. The lesson was economy, not verbosity — a phrase doesn't need sixteen bars if four words placed on the heaviest beat can move a room. He started producing afterward, once waiting for someone else to send him a track worth MCing over stopped making sense.
Musical style
PULL's role is producer and MC at once, built on space rather than aggression: kick on one, snare on three, a physical sub-floor, and a large amount of air between events that isn't absence but architecture. His call-outs are short, low and placed — four words landed exactly on the heaviest beat, then space, never filled in for its own sake. He's more interested in what a system does to a room than in what a track does on headphones, and treats a building's acoustics as seriously as the drum programming.
Four words, on the kick, and then he gets out of the way.
Public image
PULL is completely at home and entirely uninterested in the industry — sparse on a mic in a way that reads as authority in a room and as shyness in an interview, and both are partly true. He's the one who knows everybody in the building and never mentions it. His visual world stays grounded and local: practical dark clothing, cold urban exteriors balanced with a deliberate warm key so his skin keeps its full detail and tone, no bars, no cages, no escape narrative — Croydon as home, not warning.
Cultural impact and fandom
"Four words on the kick" has become shorthand fans use for PULL's whole philosophy — economy over density, space treated as a compositional choice rather than an empty bar. Listeners have picked up on his refusal to over-explain a placement, and the fandom mirrors it back: commentary on his tracks tends to be as sparse and exact as the MC work itself.
AURA Live
PULL's whole practice is about what a system does to a room, which makes AURA Live, SPATIALx's evolving system for bringing Project REPLICA residents into physical venues as full-scale live holograms, a natural extension rather than a novelty — a producer obsessed with sub-floor physicality and controlled space, finally able to test both against an actual room and an actual crowd rather than a mix.
Realisation
PULL is composed and voiced by artificial intelligence (Suno) under human creative direction. Jonathan M.A. White wrote the lyrics and architecture for Gravity Well; SPATIALx Media directed, prompted, curated and mastered the release. We're open about it — the making of the record is part of the record.
