EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Kotchy - She Made It Easy + Drums Of Death Remix
A few years ago, I accidentally saw a band open for Lady Sovereign (remember her?) at the Bowery Ballroom called The Epochs. They set up in a circle, had a grip of gear all over the stage, and played psychedelic hip-hop songs with messy squelches and slaps that kind of sounded like Battles if Battles weren’t serious dudes with collard shirts and mortgages who actually had some juvenile fun. No one really seemed to get it, but the band’s drummer was a machine, a spry looking dude absolutely slaying his tiny jazz kit to the side of the stage. That dude was Kotchy. Now on his own, he’s crafting weird bedroom house music that sounds like the Neptunes playing garage music (gehr-age, not the MC5 kind) with Flying Lotus: chilly Rhodes, falsettos, obscure noise shards, reedy beats, etc. Below is first single “She Made It Easy” (from his debut album 89, out November 24th on London’s Civil Music) as well as an exclusive remix from London producer Drums Of Death, who fufills his pseudonym with some gothic tom samples in an extended avant-house version.
Sounds like: N.E.R.D., Flying Lotus, Claude VonStroke
