Track Of The Day 19/12 – Murkage Dave

'Keep Up The Bad Work' remix ft. Lansky Jones

To celebrate their transatlantic collaboration ‘Keep Up The Bad Work (Remix)’, East London’s Murkage Dave and Queens, NYC’s Lansky Jones joined Clash earlier in the year to record a live version of the track. 



Best known for his work as a member of Queens collective World’s Fair, Jones opened the night with tracks from his solo album, ‘Dangerfield’, serving up a more dynamic take on the album tracks for the live arena and demonstrating his penchant for introspective storytelling, via a palette of gritty NYC rap.

Acoustic guitars and drums make for an unexpected but fresh pairing with the vocals, and Jones’ twang adding a harder edge to an otherwise vulnerable track.

Jones and Dave’s contrasting accents add texture, highlighting the meeting of London and New York – coming from UK and NYC, with love.

Tune in now.
