Following a debut single on Hot Creations, London electronic producer Mineo teams up with elusive masked grime MC CASISDEAD for double A-side ‘Do It Again’ / ‘Woodblock’ on Black Butter.

Across the two sweltering cuts, Mineo’s deftly understated production collides with hypnotic bars from CASISDEAD to incendiary effect. First track ‘Do It Again’ sees the London MC and recent Tricky collaborator laying feverish mantras with possessed purpose over Mineo’s slyly bass-heavy backdrop. This moves seamlessly into the swampy tech-garage of ‘Woodblock’, where CASISDEAD’s vocals are chopped and cut with vinyl crackles and tom drums to create a rhythm that somehow nods casually towards Masters at Work dubs from the ‘90s.

London-based singer, songwriter and classically trained multi-instrumentalist Alexandrer Kotz, AKA Elderbrook, kicks off 2017 with the release of his much anticipated new single ‘First Time’. The track is out now via Kobalt, and is part of a two-track EP due to be released in February.

Slowly building ambience, ‘First Time’ drops into electrifying synths and sharp looping vocals layered with Elderbook’s luscious chorus. The combination of soulful vocals and synth melody creates a beautiful blend of pop-infused electronica. ‘First Time’ follows his single ‘Closer’ last year, and is produced by Kid-Echo who had huge success with ‘Crank It’.

Continuing on with his successful trajectory, Elderbrook released his official remix of Clean Bandit’s No.1 single ‘Rockabye’ and a headline show at XOYO London in March. His touring schedule has been hectic, accompanying trio RÜFÜS DÜ SOL on their European BLOOM tour, appearances with Gorgon City for their Kingdom Tour which included a date at The Warehouse Project and a headline show at the much-hyped new venue in Omeara.
