I don't think so...But he collaborates with Bobmo (High Powered Boys, Marble PLayers etc.)

You can also stream the whole EP on Marble's SoundCloud :

I'm really loving it ! Album is set to drop November 7th...GREAT.

Anyone has it? Any opinions? That totally went over my head... when I'm home I will check it out.

What earlier EPs do you like? I only know "Ghetto obsessions" which is nice but a bit to french for my ears

I find Next Of Kin to be his greatest EP yet (because of the title track and White Knight Two). The latest on Institubes (Silver Island) has one of his best tracks on it but it's been put into the album tracklisting (called...Silver Island).

I didn't check the album as well because it's only digital right now, but thanks to Ed Rec it will get physical (CD and Vinyl) in the beginning of december so stay tuned ;)

It's a really fun listen. I've been cranking it at work in the mornings setting up over the last week or two. It's got a great top 40 radio station thing going for it. Some great samples (Thompson twin-watching u watching me) etc.. But yeah if you like to have fun it's easy to listen to.

Yeah right. It's a very fun listen, some amazing and very funny and absurd samples. Over all this is quite decent. Mr. Oizo for example is very stressful to listen to all while this gets the same energy and variations going but is quite laid back and 80ies in comparison.

USA Club Mixes is out and it's fucking brilliant.

Canblaster's megamix is genius. Para one's remix of Silver Island is fantastic as well & Jackson and His Computer Band makes an appearance. Very strong album overall, highly recommended.
