My First Moth
For their 10th release My First Moth present a hotly tipped collaboration between two visionary artists from opposite sides of the Atlantic. New York born rapper BluRum 13 should need no introduction after lacing countless records from the last decade with his distinctive gravel-voiced flow, most notably the classic Ninja Tune album Children of Possibility which he recorded as one-third of One Self alongside DJ Vadim and Yarah Bravo in 2006. Producer Frameworks is a relative newcomer although still fiercely prolific, having notched up collaborations with Long Island legends QnC, UK rapper Bang On, and having released material on First Word Records, Hero Records and Organik Recordings. He is quickly forging a reputation for his solid productions fusing old-school sensibilities with a touch of live instrumentation and a keen ear for a killer sample. This 12 features two killer tracks from the forthcoming Brickbuilders LP along with heavy remix treatments from four varied producers. First up, MFM artist Neko Neko drops an afro-funk tinged dancefloor bomb not dissimilar to his recent Trouble in the Streets 12 which sold out in a matter of weeks. Mixkings' Bunty Beats follows this with some next-level slowmo reversed sampling on a tripped-out atmospheric tip. Flip for some darker leftfield leanings from Danny Drive Thru, fresh from recent outings on Project Mooncircle, Fat City and Mind On Fire Records. And lastly Wah Wah 45s finest Part-Time Heroes wind things up nicely with an epic uptempo cinematic workout reminiscent of some of Bonobo's instrumental productions. Overall a solid EP that will wet peoples appetites for the forthcoming LP!
