About this item

This latest Kotchy EP features an eye-wideningly expansive five tracks of new and remixed material from the multi-faceted genius songwriter-producer. Harnessing the more sinister side of "Superstar", Hrdvsion's jacking techno monster morphs Kotchy's sleazy vocals and killer drum breaks into a dark twisted club stinger. "Holla" is Kotchy's call to arms; a track for the everyman, its heavy beats, synth stabs and screamed vocals add up to a raw and experimental strain of wonky hip hop, with a lyrical mixture of struggle, pressure, humour ridicule and revolt. London and Berlin outfit The Chap turn their dial to smooth on their mix of "Check Out My Keychain", delivering a version that's clean and crisp and as strange and enchanting as it is stunning. Parisian wonky-hop master Debruit gets his KeeClac alter ego out on another take on the same track for more of a fidget house sounding party version. Rounding off the EP, "Party Your Blues Away" features Philly rapper Benni E, with her slick flows backed by Kotchy's hushed vocals. This cut is a lyrical drugstore built on spooky Mo' Wax-esque skewed dope downbeats, awash with strings and horns.
