The Broken Keys is a new studio project from Nostalgia 77 and Natural Self. ‘Slingshot’ is Tru Thoughts’ first The Broken Keys release on 7? and is best described a straight-up dancefloor destroyer. A side: Slingshot Part1) / B side: Sling Shot (Part 2). “Add a little jangling, twanging guitar to Slingshot’s insistent drums and bold brass and you might begin to anticipate what to expect from the forthcoming album. Personally, I can’t wait.” Dom Servini, Straight No Chaser “Natural Self has been bringing global influences to his potent hip hop brew since soon after the turn of the century” Hip Hop Connection “Brighton’s answer to DJ Shadow.” BBCi Collective on Nostalgia 77 “Natural Self is awesome - like Quantic raised on hip hop rather than northern soul!” Darren Laws, Fat City “Nostalgia 77’s ‘The Garden’ LP is nothing short of a touch of genius.” IDJ Magazine “I’m a true fan of Natural Self productions” Sonny Woods, Planet of the Breaks “The next big thing for me is The Broken Keys project I’ve started with Nostalgia 77. We’re getting away from the jazz, Afro and Brazilian influences and getting down with a heavy funk/rock type of thing. Boom.” Natural Self speaking to Hip Hop Connection
