Melding the genres of RnB, math, jazz and shoe gaze with chilling vocals, linear beats and saturated guitars, Richard The Fourth is the soundtrack to moonlit synchronised swimming with a menagerie of aquatic creatures while uncontrollably yet inexplicably sobbing.

MEGA VIOLINIST/DOPE RAPPER

Mike Dennis is a classically-trained violinist whose boyhood love of Run DMC, Beastie Boys and Gangstarr led him to create a unique kind of string-heavy hip hop music he refers to as Violinica.

"Violin in hand and a multitude of effects and loop pedals at his feet, he builds up to a string and percussion crescendo before opening his mouth and… wow! This guy doesn’t just spit rhymes, they just cascade out at a speed that is as ferocious as his lyrics." - Wake The Deaf (Ben Gallivan)

Performing using Jess (violin), a loop pedal and a cajon, Mike builds up layers of dense harmony and embellishes with thoughtful, energetic rhymes drawing inspiration from daily British life and the perils and profits of love with a geeky fanaticism for rhythm-bending and syncopation.

You won't have seen an artist like this before.

"Stuff" was Tom Robinson's 6Music Recommends track in March 2016.

In 2017, Mike performed at TedxCardiff and toured two EPs around the UK.

Most recently, Mike released a full-length LP, "Edge in Wordways", on his own label, D-Funk Records in November 2018. It is available to download and stream at http://mikedennis.bandcamp.com
