Nuke Watch is a New York based collective that specializes in a mix of free-jazz fusion and textured polyrhythmic Fourth World propulsion. The long running friendship and psychic connection of its founders Chris Hontos & Aaron Anderson (aka Beat Detectives) enhance their signature ritualistic rhythms, mutant modular synthesis, nimble keyboard runs, vibrant sampling and unidentified skronk.

They have released records on The Trilogy Tapes, Post Present Medium, Patience/Impatience, Commend/RVNG and Moon Glyph. They will be touring the UK in support of their new album “Fusion” out this summer on the London based label Sagome

“[Nuke Watch] could be called world music in the sense that if you folded up the world into a funnel and shook it and made everybody slide down onto a plate full of people they didn’t grow up with, they might end up making this.” - Sasha Frere-Jones, 2025.
