premiere: marc bianco, inq. - uto
Francisco Espregueira
Last year the galactic collaboration of leftfield hip hop vibes between Marc Bianco and INQ. (a.k.a. Inquisitive Minds) brought us the mesmerizing BORG project, which dropped via Tough On Purpose. The 6-track EP was the product of Marc Bianco's spectrum of influences audible in his musical output - from Stones Throw to Herbie Hancock - that has been developed over the past years, releasing some high-karat-gold projects such as Speak Like The Hurricane or Fyrefest. The ‘one-of-a-kind’ flow from the Australian INQ. duo brings outstanding lyrical content, providing a wholesome experience of alternative hip hop. We got introduced to their grooves last year, when the duo presented Mind Connect, together with the fantastic jazz-hip-hop trio Jazzbois. It’s fair to say that both Bianco and INQ. know who to collaborate with…
O Sótão has the pleasure of premiering the first video experience of this project, directed by the talented Zachary Toulemont. “UTO” is the third track on BORG, and brings an unique noir and urban vibe that can be best appreciated at the wee hours of the night. Neon lights all over the place and this sound haunting us to go for more. Courtesy of Tough On Purpose.
Marc Bianco is gonna be back at Fada Records later this year, this time around partnering with rapper Hio. This exciting project, entitled Arabian Horse Fight IV, marks the return of Bianco and HIO to the L.A. based imprint. Don’t sleep!
