Le n?ko – Up to number 5 in the All City Beat series now, this 45 on 33 comes from French beat maker Le n?ko (Le neko). Unfamilar to most, no doubt, but trust us on this one! He says: “My name is le N?KO, i do the beats my mind and fingers let me do.” We say: A double A with two Slices of bumping broken French fonk “Akedam” and “Apprendre” from the Lyon based producer who has been making some noise online over the last couple of years via myspace and ampsoul radio in particular. He has recently produced a track for Maspyke (ABB) MC Hanif Jamyls summer release “Krushed Grapes” but this is his first solo vinyl release. Release Date: 26/08/2008

Mike Slott aka Slotkavic is a producer in the Heralds of Change. He has lived in Chicago, New York and Glasgow, but until the lp is finished you can find him in Dublin. Mike is a talented producer in a lineage of music royalty, with his father being the first major jazz signing in Ireland, his brother signed to Sony bmg age 17, his cousin an ex-member of Irelands most successful golden-era hip hop group and uncle a legend in the world of Irish traditional music. Not victim to expectation he wears his immersion in music very easily, moving this niche new music on. Over the weekend you can find him propping up the counter of All City Records in Temple bar. If he’s not there hes probably in the cue of a low-cost airline. real rockstar….”
