Sadly Mecca:83 has decided to hang up his MPC for good. Read about it here: bit.ly/11ARQTv
With that news out of the way, join us for a 24-track celebration of his music featuring exclusive new tracks with Jneiro Jarel, Tom Misch and Byron The Aquarius as well as the 'best bits' from his numerous solo releases, group projects and production/remix work over the years. Some old, some new and a few previously vinyl-only joints...all distinctively soulful in construction.
"If there's a running theme through all the music i've done, it's positivity: i've always tried to make music that makes people feel good. I've never really been about dark music. If people remember anything about my music I hope it's that" - Mecca:83, December 2014
"This is how it sounds when thoughts interactin'" as DistantStarr taps into the perspective of the everyday Hip Hop listener with the vivid and soulful sound of "The Vibe EP". DistantStarr's first solo vinyl release in association with My First Moth Records is a progressive and skillful approach of Hip Hop which features lyrical contributions from Blu, Hudson Mohawke with neck-snapping production by Mecca:83 and Buscrates 16-bit Ensemble. Witness the sound of a crew who definitely strive to set their own vibe of beats and rhymes pairing traditional skill with a futuristic approach.
