Neko Neko - Trouble in the streets / Playin ya self
MFM009 – Trouble in the streets / Playin ya self is Neko Neko’s latest release on My First Moth records and is available from all good record shops and online today! Limited edition hand stamped, one sided 12″. Buy 12″
“Neko Neko takes time out from recording his debut album (due for release in 2012) to drop two very different reworks for your record box.
On “Trouble in the Streets” he expertly revisits a jazzy house groover (St Germain’s “Rose Rouge”), shifting it up a few gears further into proper dance floor territory with heavy drums, percussion and adding catchy-as-hell vocal chant (lifted from an early 80s Lijadu Sisters African LP?)!
On the flip Neko Neko’s MPC gets possessed by the spirit of circa 1993 boom bap as he remixes Jeru The Damaja’s anti-playa anthem. Honky-tonk pianos, horns and boom bap drums all make for a worthy update of this stone cold classic!”
For those of you following Neko Neko on Facebook you might have seen the Ustream of the readers digest beat tape demos the other day. If not I have recorded the video.
The stream was done in the form of a live mixdown/dub from the tape machine with one song done live on the MPC. I did intend to make a beat live afterwards but the connection dropped.
It was a fun thing to do & something I will be doing again in the future. It will most likely be annouced on the Neko Neko Facebook page so get on there for more upto date news. Also Check out the Neko Neko Ustream channel for previous streams.
Big thanks goes out to Agent J from Groovement radio show on Unity radio Manchester for playing a new Neko Neko tune, Cold, on Sundays show. The show featured loads of good music (as usual) and had Andrea Trout doing a guest mix. If you havn’t already checked out Groovement then do so, it’s dope. It’s on every sunday afternoon on Unity radio and streamed online, then available as a podcast.
