Motionz

Miles from Kinshasa links up with underground don Murkage Dave to supply the sun kissed, limitless and ruminative cut ‘Motionz’. Congo born, London raised, Miles from Kinshasa is an artist who bleeds authenticity, using his diverse cultural upbringing and eclectic musical influences to stand out from the crowd in the congested UK underground scene. On this latest single, Miles brings his usual captivating charm and integral veracity, united with a blithe, airy instrumental and a memorable feature to ensure Motionz is a triumph. 

Paced percussion and nifty wobble bass combine with jazz inflected, subtle electric piano chords on the feel good, breezy instrumental, produced by long time collaborator Kadiata. The vocals are slick and hazy, with Miles showing his acumen at both singing and rapping. Murkage Dave comes through with his usual accomplished, humorous and contemplative bars, with witty wordplay and laid back yet attention grabbing delivery. Miles is similarly effective, with ardent, astute songwriting tinged with sombre regret and idealistic expectations. 

Charismatic and engaging, with the ability to draw in big names like Murkage Dave, Miles from Kinshasa is an artist steadily gaining momentum and artistic maturity. Get on the hype.
