Enter TWIZZLE and ‘SKYDIVING’ (GREENMONEY REMIX)
25th JAN release on SQUAREPEG RECORDS
With swagger and skill beyond his 18 years, this West Londoner is joining the dots between his heroes (Jay Z, Dizzee etc) to take British urban music forward and into the future.
Having cut his teeth spitting on the pirate radio stations around Shepherds Bush from the age of 14, Twizzle soon graduated to the local “Got West On Lock” freestyle competition. Which he won hands-down. Two years running. His reputation as a rhymer to be reckoned with soon brought him to the attention of Squarepeg management who hooked the young man up with producers Benji Vaughan and Greenmoney (remixers for Kanye West, Yo Majesty and many others). The results are outstanding and included this, Twizzle’s debut release: “Skydiving”.
Produced by the Greenmoney duo, Alex Phountzi of Bugs In The Attic and Leo Greenslade from the legendary club night YoYo, the track has that unmistakable energy of a 21st century UK dance floor: a melting pot of hip-hop’s strut, house’s tempo, drum n bass’s rabble rousing klaxon, pop’s instant hooks, plus.. that extra “something”.
Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw certainly agree, and have already begun hammering the track on their Radio 1 shows. Annie also included the “Dub Mix” on her current “Annie Mac Presents…” compilation. Camden’s Roundhouse also did when Twizzle took the stage in August for a superb debut show..
A man whose undoubtable talent is equalled only by his ambition, Twizzle is determined to put London on his back and take it to the top this year if it’s the last thing he does.
With an album already in the making, Twizzle is THE urban artist to look out for in 2010.
