Experimental grime-pop maestro and member of Atari Teenage Riot, Rowdy Superstar releases his debut solo record this week – a meandering collage of old school hip-hop and floor-shaking electronics, equipped with a twisted pop coating.
Released on Monday via Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Records, you can stream the album on Best Fit now – if you haven’t managed to grab a copy already.
Rowdy Superstar plays The Waiting Room in London on Wednesday 12 December.
Battery is out now. You can buy it via iTunes.
