Hot on the heels of their recently released label compilation We Make Colourful Music Because We Dance In The Dark, and an EP
from new talent TCTS, London via Berlin collective Greco-Roman get set to release ‘Our Town’ by letthemusicplay featuring Kate
Tempest Remixes on December 9th 2013.
Starting out as a teen rapper in Lewisham and now hailed by The Guardian as “one of the brightest British talents around”, 27 yearold
South London spoken word phenomenon Kate Tempest has been causing a stir at poetry slams and performances up and down
the UK, from Glastonbury festival to the Edinburgh Fringe. This year saw her self-penned performance piece Brand New Ancients
claim the Ted Hughes Award for innovation in poetry – making her the first person under 40 to do so – and shortly after her victory
she was one of eight poets commissioned to perform at the Hayward Gallery’s Light Show in London.
While Brand New Ancients saw Tempest backed by an orchestra, on ‘Our Town’ she join forces with letthemusicplay, two enigmatic
London-based beat-makers who craft a punchy UK house backdrop to more than match her pneumatic words, with fizzing synth
bursts and ping pong beats peppering exhortations to spend the afternoon in bed with three bottles of wine, to drink ‘til the sun
comes up and stagger through alleyways.
With echoes of fellow urban poets The Streets and Gil Scott–Heron, ‘Our Town’ is a paean to loved-up nights in the city, drunken
confessionals and post-rave sunrises narrated by one of the UK’s fiercest voices.
‘Our Town’ Remixes is released on December 9th via Greco-Roman, backed with remixes from none other than Lennie De Ice, the
man responsible for the 90's track "We Are I.e" which is often considered to be one of the first Jungle records. Whilst our very own
Joe Goddard gives "Our Town" his unique dub treatment. Rounded off very nicely indeed with a fantastic Sister Bliss vs I Said No
Dancefloor Dub!!!
