What their label says...

Brooklyn-based producer Kotchy is a singer songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and all round super talented. If you've been lucky enough to see him live or performing with NY revered bands such as The Epochs and Violet (w/members of Fischerspooner / Rufus Wainwright / Joan As Police Woman / Polyphonic Spree) then more than likely you'll have already taken note! Now, fresh from remixing Tricky and working with Yo Majesty (Domino) and Starkey (Planet Mu), Virus Syndicate (Planet Mu) he’s primed for the release of his debut longplayer ‘89’, of which this single is the first taste. Kotchy’s percussively-rooted electro-acoustic hybrid productions are littered with subtle melodies, harmonised with straight heat lyrics and a cool delivery. He’s like Beck meets Prince mixed up with Pharrell's production, as beats shift from glitched out pop to dubconscious hip hop with drop and hang stylings in the vein of J. Dilla, Flying Lotus and Rustie. ‘She Made It Easy’ is s a 4/4 hybrid of NYC disco and emo-esq guitar, a glitched and whispered it’s tale of a girl who entered and left his life, which unexpectedly draws inspiration from the ease of the break as oppose to the pain of it. The flip is ‘Bruce Fleetwood’, a cheeky little number that combines The Boss and The Mac. Subtle production and simple elegance fuse the two, making one sexy love child. This limited edition 7” (500) with artwork from Kotchy’s lifelong buddy and fast rising street artist Joerael Elliott also marks the debut release from label-to-watch Civil Music. Already grabbing plenty of press and radio interest, Kotchy is an easy name to remember and one you’re going to be hearing dropped with increasing regularity.
