Nadsroic is the singing / rapping alias of Ciorsdan Brown alongside the young phenom’ producer Hudson Mohawke. To date the young team have only played a handful of shows as Nadsroic including Radio One Sessions and live alongside Optimo – for whom they are also releasing a record on their Oscarr imprint. Ciorsdan was schooled in the Scottish Highlands immersed in folk music before being dropped in the ugly Glasgow metropol of hip hop, techno, electro & club music. With spells living in Copenhagen and currently based in semi-rural Japan it’s hard to say where this 22 year old jetsetter picked up her natural sensibility for real pop and future R&B.

Based in Glasgow, UK, 23 year old Hudson Mohawke currently has the worlds? beat scene in a headlock with his heavy drum programming and cosmic synth slop. In January this year he made his debut release on Warp records with the “Polyfolk Dance EP” and has been dubbed the labels ‘secret weapon’, clocking up serious international mileage with an impressive dj schedule. This release sees Mo explore his love of mainstream hip hop & rnb fused with the air of 1980’s synthetic soul. Out everywhere on digital & 12″ vinyl May 11th on LuckyMe Records. Source: Luckyme.

Philadelphia-based hip hop producer Jneiro Jarel teamed up with Georgia based musician Khujo Goodie and formed Willie Isz. They will release their first album called “Georgiavania” on Lex Records. The central concept and inspiration at the heart of the album is an imaginary 51st US state named Georgiavania. In Georgiavania’s post-hip-hop paradise Willie Isz combine Southern hip-hop styles such as Crunk and Snap music with rock and psychedelia-infused influences, and the duo consciously avoided sampling in favour of live instrumentation and a super-fresh sound.
