Fresh for your listening pleasure comes one of the most banging remixes to reach your eardrums in recent weeks. 'Mowgli's Road' sees the leftfield pop starlet MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS flex her metaphorical genius on this, the B-Side to the JO WHILEY supported 'Obsessions'. Adding a distinctly hip-hop meets dubstep synthesized post irony to 'Mowgli's Road', THE LAST SKEPTIK shows the world precisely why he is fast becoming a sought after commodity for remix japery.
Producer, DJ and all round nice fellow THE LAST SKEPTIK has laced instrumentals for the likes of SWAY, GET CAPE. WEAR, CAPE. FLY., JEHST, MF GRIMM and KYZA, and is currently putting the final touches on a compilation of recent remixes featuring reworkings of DANIEL MERRIWEATHER, THE GAME, GET CAPE, ESLAM JAWAAD, MONGREL, JOE BUDDEN and LOWKEY among many other big names yet to be announced.
A global soundclash featuring the heat-streaked beats of the global streets. From London to Lagos, via Lisbon, Lusaka, Bamako and Berlin. A pulse raising voyage to a new world order of hip-hop and highlife, kwaito and kudoro, baille funk and bossa nova, ska, soca and soukous...and retro grooves, contemporary classics and futuristic funk from across the planet.
Featuring Eslam Jawaad live! (you can check our review of his single right here.) From his stint in the Lebanese mafia to touring the world with The Good, The Bad And The Queen and the Wu-Tang, Eslam Jawaad is about to drop "The Mammoth Tusk" a record that should see his star continue to rise high into 2009. A unique talent who manages to create a groove laiden, diverse backdrop to a voice and lyric that needs to be heard.
DJs on the night: Italia 90 (Get Cape Wear Cape Fly & The Last Skeptik), Ritual Beating System and Scribe (Africa Express).
