SYCOPHANT SLAGS AKA Mr. C & Adultnapper : Keep Off Video @ Mighty - February 19th
Mighty proudly presents the Sycophant Slags featuring music by Mr. C & Adultnapper along with Nikola Baytala, Rooz, and Nikita at Mighty on Friday, February 19th, 2010
There is no denying that Mr. C is a legend of dance music. Over the span of his 20+ years in the scene he has tried his hand at virtually every aspect of it. Mr.C’s musical career began as an MC in the U.K. As the vicious front man for the hip hop outfit The Shamen, he was responsible for a string of mainstream and club hits during the early 90’s. After that came his successful solo career as a DJ/Producer, as well as club owner. Along with partner Layo Paskin, their clubs The End and AKA Bar provided Londoners with memorable nights for well over a decade. During their tenure, the venues became two of the city’s most legendary dance establishments. His many labels include Plink Plonk, The End Recordings, and Superfreq Recordings, which also is the name of his world famous club night. Mr. C has released countless productions under a variety of aliases for some of the world’s most prestigious techno and house labels including Sexonwax and Hallucination Ltd.
His latest collaborative effort is with New York’s Adultnapper under the Sycophant Slags moniker. Their newly released EP on Poker Flat, “Keep Off” is a trippy slice of underground house. A tight, clean, and superbly produced track, “Keep Off” also marks Mr. C’s return to vocal duties. With the catchy “sky’s the limit” refrain, the track has immediately lifted itself to late night anthem status, along with a stunning new music video. The EP also features unique interpretations from renowned acts Reboot and The Wighnomy Brothers. Mr. C has also released his first solo EP in nearly 5 years with ‘Lunar EP’ on Wagon Repair. Lunar EP showcases his diversity with three distinct variations on one common theme. The sunrise perfect “Full Moon”, deep after hours style “Waxing, and peak time “Dark Moon” come together to form a complete representation of the sounds that make up a Mr. C set.
Brooklyn’s master of deep, brooding techno Adultnapper will join Mr. C as the Sycophant Slags on this night. Playing alongside the Sycophant Slags are three of San Francisco’s best DJ’s Nikola Baytala, Rooz, and Nikita.
Sycophant Slags ‘Keep Off’ EP is out now on Poker Flat Recordings.
Mr. C ‘Lunar’ EP is out now on Wagon Repair.
Sky’s the limit & you know that you keep on,
just keep on pressing on. Sky’s the limit &
you know that you can have what you want,
be who you want.
