Listen: Mokadem - "Nothing"
South London’s Mokadem continues her intriguing creative ascent with a new track making its first appearance among some fine selections on a new Dummy released compilation later this month.
“Nothing” swirls and spits its way to a Dexedrine-fuelled Balearic crescendo that sounds like Air France’s “Karibien” in another life. After her darkly trippy take on Lana Del Rey’s “Gods and Monsters” last year and January’s Melodica Recordings-released debut EP, we’re really starting to see a fleshing out of her musical direction, which hits at invention towards a subtly bassy and nuanced electro with an intelligencen and heart at the centre. As she puts it, “I’m about always trying to trigger people’s autonomous sensory meridian response…”
Listen to “Nothing” below and check out Mokadem’s recent mix for Dummy. You can catch her live on Dummy’s stage at the Camden Crawl on 21 June 2014.
