FRESH BEATS AND FREE TUNES KLAXON!
The rise and rise of Mr. K.O.G. and his band of merry men over the last year has been a spectacularly tropical and frightfully enjoyable one. The Sheffield scene and beyond have most certainly been feeling the wrath of the reggae/afro-beat/dancehall/soul artist. Raving festival tents, packed club nights and ram-a-jammed music bars haven’t quite been the same since his many invasions took place.
What’s his story? Well, you’ll have to approach K.O.G. yourself to find that out. All we know is that he can rock any stage and that any tune featuring his input ends up being a certified banger.
Recently he’s released a free download featuring the vocal talents of Diddley Dee and the bass-slapping talents of Teddy JC. Produced by Tich of Off Me Nut Records/Squire of Gothos/Temple of Coke fame and mastered by Peter Junior of Analog Fidelity Records Fame. Bouncy beat. Instantly hummable. Ticks all our boxes straight off.
