Niyi - 808 Klap / Ur Mummy

Niyi is equal parts Wiley, Timmy Mallett pop dross and breakbeat hardcore

Single Review by Bram Gieben | 11 Apr 2007
Label: Holloway Hit Factory
Niyi is a DJ, club promoter and New Rave hype phenomenon: clad in dayglo specs, a giant patchwork neon bowtie, with (no joke) a one-litre carton of apple juice hanging round his neck, he looks and sounds like the British Spank Rock. His music is equal parts Wiley, Timmy Mallett pop dross and breakbeat hardcore. 808 Klap extols the virtues of shit drum machines, London is an underground anthem, and Ur Mummy is just self indulgent and rude. Takes grime, so-called New Rave and electro, and gives it a camp, dirty spanking. [Bram Gieben]
