I'd Have To Be High (EP)

A 5 track leftfield/idm ep (20m 54s) — released April 6th 2009 on Civil Music

The precursor to Kotchy's debut album '89' showcases the club savvy hip-hop of 'Check Out My Keychain' and 'A Superstar' both taken from the album. Intelligent and lyrically engaging with percussive talent is there for all to see. Glamorous and seductive, upbeat and inspiring.

Remixes come from The Chap (Lo Recordings / Ghostly International), delivering smooth 2-step. Hrdvsion (Wagonrepair) drops a jacking techno monster. Parisian bump-hop master debruit ( Musique Large / Civil Music ) uses his KeeCLAC alter ego and Hot Chip / New Build studio wizard The Silent Jeff stripe bare A Superstar for the club. International VJs Eclectic Method and Seclusiasis main man and creator of the Street Bass Anthems series Dev79 finish the package with their reworks.
