RQM
Colors Fade EP (Son Of Kick / Chris De Luca/JF RMXS)
Baby Sumo

RQM’s vocals have featured on a host of main players releases  such as Stereotyp, Milanese and he has performed alongside the likes of Missy Elliot, M.I.A., Buraka Som Sistema etc . Finally he has started his own label and the first release sees him set his warm yet twisted vocal stylings along side production from Modeselektor affiliate Siriusmo. The title track is broken beat, down tempo hip hop affair. An infectiously melodic ballad about an intense love affair likened  to a nuclear holocaust! The production on this is intricate with emotive strings, steppy beats, and RQM’s cool delivery and break from the norm mc lyrics are refreshing. This is a stand out track. Son Of Kick provides his trade mark kick heavy, knob twiddlings with a darker dubstep re rub. Chris De Luca, Glue Kidsand JF all deliver remixes in the hip hop dub step area, all quality stuff  highlighting RQM’s top drawer lyrical talents. Expect to see a lot more from RQM
