BREAKS
MARK ´MERKA´ FORD released his debut electronic album ´Beserka´ last year to a flurry of press attention. The LP was cited as ´...one of the most interesting and captivating albums the scene has ever produced...´ by IDJ Magazine and garnered high scoring reviews in MUSIC WEEK & THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY.
This year, Ford teams up with MC ESHA forming MYSTIC MAN & ESHAMANJARO to create a slice of retrospective, cutting edge, beat driven hip hop. Influences are pulled from funk fuelled jazz, the drum & bass feel of PHOTEK, THE AVALANCHES and even LEMON JELLY, and we get an explosion of bouncing beats, and funky guitars and basslines, with a quality of production that makes you think that the duo have been in the hip hop scene for years.
Singles have already received support from MR SCRUFF, DIESLER (TRU THOUGHTS),
GILES PETERSON & ANDY SMITH (PORTISHEAD).
Released on FAT! RECORDS (TAYO, BAOBINGA & I.D., HOOK N SLING, APOLLO
KIDS)
