CHECK OUT MY KEYCHAIN:
Cheeky and catchy Keychain is a pure anti-pop gem. Instantly recognisable Hip-Pop with R&B leanings its effortlessly constructed. Kotchys trademark beat driven production and hushed vocals are showcased once again. Taken from Kotchy’s debut album “89” and relationship themed you’ll be singing along before the first minutes out! - Check out Kotchy's Keychain, you'll see that he ain't playing with this slice of fun, modern, soul pop.
A SUPERSTAR:
Sleazy and tongue in cheek, A superstar is club savvy hip-hop. Lyrically intelligent and engaging A Superstar sends up mainstream American club culture and it makes for great material. Kotchy suggests, “Strip for me baby, and I’ll do it too”. On A Superstar Kotchy's percussive talent is there for all to see. Being compared the Neptunes isn't always ideal, but Glamorous and seductive, upbeat and inspiring A superstar is an excellent addition to any house party soundtrack.
HOLLA:
Holla is Kotchy's call to arms. A track for the everyman. Heavy Beats, synth stabs and screamed vocals, its raw and experimental hip-hop. A different side to Kotchy is on show here. A lyrical mixture of struggle, pressure, humour ridicule and revolt.... "If you wear black with navy blue, Holla!!" Endearing, empowering and identifiable Holla drives crowds to frenzy, sonic and uncompromising. Featured as a Bonus Track on Kotchy and Yo Majesty's Shunda K's its been getting airplay worldwide.
PARTY YOUR BLUES AWAY (ft Benni E):
Rounding off the originals on I'd Have to Be High, Party Your Blues away features Philadelphia Rapper Benni E. Her slick flows are backed by Kotchy’s hushed vocals.
PYB is a “lyrical drugstore”, spooky Mo Wax-esq skewed trip-hop and Kotchy get the Strings and Horns out as he steps into the production Hot-seat.

CHECK OUT MY KEYCHAIN: THE CHAP REMIX:
London/Berlin’s The Chap (Lo Recordings / Ghostly International) turn their dial to smooth and get garage, as in 2 step, with harmony and guitar, clean and crisp and as strange and enchanting its stunning. A difficult bunch to please, Kotchy joins an exclusive club; with Beck and Bloc Party the only previous remix outings for the avant grade disco rockers.
A SUPERSTAR: HRDVSION REMIX:
Harnessing the more sinister side of the track HRDVSION’s jacking techno monster morphs Kotchy’s sleazy vocals and killer drum breaks into a dark twisted club stinger. Nathan Jonson aka Hrdvsion ((Wagonrepair) is part of the first family of Canadian Techno and with brother Mathew Jonson forms Midnight Operator.
CHECK OUT MY KEYCHAIN: DEBRUIT'S KEECLAC REMIX:
Parisian Bump Hop Master dÉbruit ( Musique Large / Civil ) gets his KeeCLAC alter ego out on Keychain for that unmistakably French sound. The Franco-American hybrid is a huge party track, fun danceable with that killer hook driving you to distraction. Watch out for his new Ep and releases this summer on Civil Music.
A SUPERSTAR: THE SILENT JEFF REMIX: Minimal evocative and seductive vibes leaking out of the Hot Chip Bunker. A Superb minimal techno workout from The Silent Jeff (who are part Hot Chip and part studio wizard Tom Hopkins). Deep underground they get naughty with Kotchy. Eschewing his vocals, silently seducing and striping A Superstar, rebuilding as an intricate bubbling stomper. No talk, all trousers, the Silent Jeff condense the sleaze to a breathless pant for the dancefloor.
CHECK OUT MY KEYCHAIN: ECLECTIC METHOD REMIX:
Legendary International VJs take a break from their awesome visual work and turn their hand to the remix duties. A huge electro house number that's all about the now sound championed The Count and Sinden. Huge basslines, stabs and a massive sound Compliment the Kotchy vocal that'll move feet and make for a dancefloor destroyer
CHECK OUT MY KEYCHAIN: DEV79 REMIX:
"I'd Have to Be High" is a line in Check Out My Keychain, Seclusiasis main man and creator of the Street Bass Anthems series Dev79 focuses on this in a glitchy, bass lead rework, experimental and so busy it falls over itself, A different but equally intriguing take on the track results, the perfect avant-grade tripped out end to the I'd Have to Be High release.
