From the streets of Ghana to the airwaves of London, Mike Dadio is a producer who is determined to make music his own way. Fake n’ Dat is about, in Mike’s words, “love and lies” – themes as universal as his music. Without a defining genre to box him in him, he lets his synth and drums guide him, letting the individual sounds and rhythms resonate and building tracks around them. This is cloud rap in its most DIY guise – no faking guaranteed.
Mike Dadio has assembled two of the hottest talents on the scene for Fake n’ Dat – Romel and Hurricane Hunt. Romel was first introduced to Mike at his studio and the two quickly hit it off, both recognizing the passion and energy of each other and each sharing a vision of how they could contribute to creating something special. Rapper, Hurricane, was a mutual friend – he immediately connected with the track and had recorded his verse in the studio within an hour. Sometimes, chance meetings and coincidence lead to the most creative projects.
Fake n’ Dat is driven by Mike Dadio’s deep love of music. For him, it’s pure escapism, a way to create opportunities for others and to let the artists he works with to share in that place where music overrides all feelings of animosity and aggression. Fake n Dat is the first track from Mike Dadio to be released in 2019 and looks to cement him as one of London’s go-to producers.

Vix 20 – Tron Takes the Train
Vix20 is Gary Mills and CJ, two music industry veterans who grew so disillusioned with the state of every element of the music industry that they both walked away vowing not to return…fast forward a few years, now rejuvenated, though no less prickly about the Modern Age, they return, to quote the band themselves, “we’re hard rockers turned to the dark side of pop”. As evidenced in their single, Digital Age, their passion for power-pop (don’t say ‘punk-pop’ to them, it suggests too much jumping around) and dexterity with words combines to become insanely catchy 3-minute thunderbolts. Completing the Vix line up is long time conspirators Rich Norris and Kill, with a busy year ahead the next single is planned for April and the band will appear at the International pop overthrow festival in May at the legendary Liverpool venue The Cavern.

Minx – Female Dirtbag
This was something that needed to happen. There simply had to be a vision for the voice. And now that vision is here in the form of Minx’ new video for her stellar track titled ‘Female Dirtbag’. This premiere is simply an honor. After listening to the track last month (review HERE), and talking with here HERE, I realized that some artists were simply meant to be.
‘Female Dirtbag’ is not what you may think by reading just the title. You have to read between the lines. And those lines are clearly drawn with the track by Minx, who draws it with a big stick and keeps it with an even bigger mic. Empowerment can mean many things, but in Minx’ case that definition is written in stone with the simple fact that gender is not a roadblock, but the road itself. You can use that empowerment to define your character and, in turn, let that character define you to others. Beautiful in many ways.
About Minx
Minx’s brand of ‘inclusive feminism’ shines through in her stunning new track ‘Female Dirtbag’, an ode to a powerful breed of women who know what they want and how to get it, as you can see from her Dave Chappelle inspired cover for the single.Sexy, funny lyrics delivered with smooth and sultry aplomb are fast what is giving Minx her name. Produced by Cooler Ruler Divine (Onyx, The Lost Boyz, Sean Price) it’s a perfect pairing as Minx’s love for classic Hip Hop from the ‘Golden Age’ is strong and this is undoubtedly a smooth Boombap banger.
