That thing people say sometimes.

"Following 6 Music's immersion in Bristol culture and music last month, this local gem dropped into my inbox the other week. It slapped me around the ears and left me reaching for the replay button - brilliantly written lyrics, an astonishing flow - and sharp, pinpoint production. In some ways it's like a hybrid between early Example and Franz Ferdinand at their knowing, cheeky best. To cap it all, although you'd never guess it from this track, the guy's also a virtuoso violinist and looper, I can't wait to hear his album in May." Tom Robinson (BBC 6Music)

AGD - Elephants Never Forget

Betty Boop

This mix represents a deeply significant chapter of my life! I've played it out at various parties this year, had the best gig and also the most disappointing gig of my life, voyaged through life's crazy ups and downs, and learned so much along the way. Facing your inner demons and following your dream isn't always easy, but it's the route to personal growth and happiness. If you have a dream, you owe it to yourself and the world to go for it! (Seriously, GO! Haha..)

I made the mix on Ableton Live, using STEMS tracks and whole tracks, and playing live flute and EWI (electric wind instrument) over the top. I hope you enjoy it. Feedback is most welcome, and I hope to catch you on a dancefloor somewhere, soon! :)

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
