Description

We are excited to present Tom Misch and Yussef Dayesrsquo ldquoWhat Kinda Musicrdquo ndash an astonishing collaboration between two artists of very different disciplines, and one of the most unique and seamlessly original projects of its ilk to date.Moving fluidly through sleek electronica, avantgarde jazz, vintage hip hop and so much more, Misch and Dayes take you on a journey that is by turns surprising and spontaneous, heady and head spinning, and nothing less than compelling ndash a singular vision which fuses the DNA of both musicians with spectacular results, as can be seen in the title track, which comes backed by a gorgeously atmospheric video by XX.Even though the fundamental bones of this project came together very quickly, its actual provenance stretches back much, much farther back, with the pair not only growing up in the same area of South East London, but Misch actually seeing Dayes play on drums in the school talent show for the first time when he was roughly 8 or 9. They both kept tabs on each other ndash Misch becoming a fan of Dayesrsquo act Yussef Kamaal, Dayes clocking his videos in 2014 ndash but it was only when they met at a launch party for Mischrsquos debut LP ldquoGeographyrdquo in 2018 that the proverbial creative sparks began to fly. ldquoAs a musician yoursquore always looking for contemporaries who can push you and challenge you and make you betterrdquo, says Dayes. ldquoI instantly felt that with Tom ndash he was such a gifted musician, and so prolificrdquo. That summer they decided to go into the studio together, jam a little, and see what happens, with no other expectation placed upon it.nbsp Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £10
