 Following a clutch of tracks, most notably ‘Stewardess Rush’, that found favour in the sets of Ben UFO, Bok Bok and others, Mokona this month steps out with his first 12″. Simply titled ‘Untitled’, it features a vocal from Ruff Sqwad lynchpin Rapid and a remix from Youngstar, the man behind one of the genre’s greatest instrumentals in ‘Pulse X’, but as FACT found out, Mokona doesn’t see himself as a grime producer. In his first interview, he opens up about the importance of anime and video games to his sound, getting into basic production while spending time housebound as a child, and why his music’s too personal for him to want feedback. Stream the vocal and instrumental versions of ‘Untitled’ below, and order the 12″ here. |
