Some kind words….
This guy is great! He really reminds me of some of RJD2′s early (and best) work but with less samples and more instruments. I hope he’s working on an album because i’d love to hear more music like this! DJ Format
This new Neko Neko record could easily be used as a movie soundtrack. It also reminds me of an era of music based on heavy drums and melodic samples, the kind of record Mo’Wax would’ve loved to release back then. DJ Lefto
Neko Neko lays down a wonderous cinematic trip that brings to mind Roy Budd’s wonderous compositions, the spiritual harp of Dorothy Ashby, wigged out drum patterns and that’s only the first track!!! This highly recommended 2 tracker sidesteps the usual ‘beats’ cliches and lays down a progressive take on musical beauty but more than manages to stay funky fresh too…More please!!! Jumbo Records
Update sold out at Piccadilly records shop on 1st day, added new buy link below. Get one before they are all gone.
