Sometimes the best things happen with minimal planning, and so it is with Dopedemand feat. Ewan Hoozami - Indigo Skyfold EP
When Dopedemand (AKA Phil Nixon) was approached by Ewan Hoozami (AKA Adam Hignell) to commission some artwork for a new project, neither could have predicted they'd end up penning an entire EP together... or that it would come out sounding so fresh!
Evocative of Golden Era Hip-Hop, Balearic Electronica and Disco, the 6-track EP has an undeniably soulful sound, while Ewan Hoozami's raps give it a refreshingly unpretentious, mature, British flavour.
The EP's lead single, Ride On, reminisces over Ewan Hoozami's skateboarding past... Weed, friends, sunshine and skateboards feature prominently, with a few nods to legendary landmarks from his hometown of Bristol.
Across the EP, Dopedemand's unfussy production sounds a world away from the over-polished efforts of many contemporaries - as you'd expect from a self-confessed old-schooler - and the results are an accomplished body of work with the subtle class that comes from a veteran's touch.
Dopedemand is a veteran Producer and Graphic Artist from Sunderland with releases on JKF among others..
Ewan Hoozami is a DJ, Producer and Vocalist who has had work played on BBC Radio 6 Music and relesed 2 full-length albums and several EPs on leading labels.
The EP will be released on Tuesday 31st May 2016 via Bandcamp, on Particle Zoo Recordngs
