about

EM15 was first conceptualised sometime in 2019 when Riddim Writer sent Gavsborg the winning meme in a whatsapp “Meme-Off”. Gavsborg noticed a particular movement in the meme and got busy by aligning some drums in sync with her blinking. Here the project starts...

The project takes steam as Gavsborg trades ideas via voice notes with Shanique Marie, which frames the tracks together by vocalising abstract stanzas for the piece. Gavsborg speaks about the project as one that takes him back to his early childhood roots of Mobb Deep & Erykah Badu via compilations like 60 minutes of Funk tapes & Alric & Boyd’s ‘Fat Block’ weekly Hip Hop radio show on Fame FM, Kingston, Jamaica.

The EP cover showcases a funny collage of ‘ransom note style’ design from various Ghanaian newspapers with a photograph of Kevin (who was created & gifted to Gavsborg by Abidjan based Ivorian metalwork street artist ‘A we’). The name ‘Kevin’ was given to the curious metal creature by a wonderful kid from Ireland.

poetic, hard & cinematic; to be blasted on a moderately foggy dancefloor full of bass-addicted thotties. cherub420
