This week, we’d like to share with you news about another new label called Kokeshi that’s set up by Alleycat. When’s she’s not running about DJing, producing music, running ESP Agency, hair modelling, she’s just a super stylish mom and a good friend. To describe her as passionate about the secne would be an understatement.
If you’re in London, do check out her Feline nights which she hosts alongside Storm, Flight, Deezism, Jenna G and Tasha. They really show us a good time, everytime! Musical policies are quite open with each taking turns to play music they love.
You can read a little about Kokeshi below but get a better idea on what goes on the fashionable world of Kokeshi, check out the site here. Please add her on Facebook too while you’re at it. And last but not least, her YouTube channel for some Kokeshi candy.
About Kokeshi
Kokeshi is the new label from Alley Cat, DJ/producer and co-director of ESP Agency with 12 years+ of music industry experience . Former manager and A&R of the influential drum & bass label Skunkrock Productions, she has commissioned tracks and remixes from the likes of Konflict, Klute, Calibre, and Total Science and was among the first to sign breakthrough talents Beta 2 and Zero Tolerance. Over the years, Alley Cat has also taken on a roving promo role for labels including the legendary Metalheadz. Extensive DJing since 1997 has brought her to over 30 countries worldwide, on over 200 gigs. Her production discography extends back 10 years, with joint releases for Skunkrock and Reinforced.
Other artists on the Kokeshi label include 18-year-old discovery Lung, from Cardiff. Having already featured on Mary Anne Hobbs’ BBCs Radio 1 Experimental show, he’s been slowly building a grassroots following through a local DJ residency and online support (dubstepforum.com) and will undoubtedly reach a much bigger audience with his epic ethereal dubstep dreams. Future releases will also feature Singapore’s golden boy Kiat, who’s finally realising his potential after releases on Soul:r, Function and Hospital. His first release on Kokeshi will be his introduction into the 140 BPM world.
