SANTIGOLD

Santigold is apparently working with Pharrell Williams on her new album, along with UK garage king Switch. Let's hope she doesn't forget to invite Freq Nasty, who helped produce the heavily rotated 'Creator' single from her first LP, back for a second dose.

Santigold: Creator


New Zealand-born, South London-based producer Freq Nasty has been making great records mashing up house, electro, hip-hop, dubstep and breakbeat, for over a decade now, yet despite hooking up with key labels like Skint and Botchit & Scarper, household name status still eludes him. Witness the great groove framework he conjurs up for female US rapper Phoebe One here...

Freq Nasty: Boomin Back Atcha


Meanwhile, Santigold has cited two big influences on her new material, Otis Redding and Egyptian Lover. The first name you know, but for those unfamiliar with the second, here's the rapper and electro wizard's big 1984 hit. Can't wait to hear it.

Egyptian Lover: Egypt, Egypt
