Brooklyn-based beat junkie Kotchy is a producer, singer, drummer, songwriter, multiinstrumentalist. With sold out 12”s and 7”s, an EP with Shunda K of Yo! Majesty, remixes for Tricky and Empire Of The Sun under his belt and Fischerspooner up next, Kotchy finally released his long overdue debut long player “89” on Civil Music.

Kotchy’s style is impossible to pigeon hole, top drawer production & sensational instrumental & visual work plus his own unique style of vocal….a hushed out, rough-yet-delicate affair that immediately attracts the ear. A drummer by trade, his percussive roots shine throughout his music. Electronics, synths, vocals, samples, grooves and beats reminiscent of J Dilla and Pharell, all blended in with the funk of Prince and Beck and littered with melody and colour. If you’ve been lucky enough to see Kotchy’s live set or him performing in the past with NY revered bands The Epochs and Violet (w/members of Fischerspooner / Rufus Wainwright / Joan As Police Woman / Polyphonic Spree) then more than likely you’ll already have taken note!

Kotchy plays and records every element live when making his tracks so the live the experience is breathtaking. He takes a stripped down version of his studio out in a backpack, slick vocals and heavy beats and moves effortlessly between live the mic, drums triggers and keyboard, laptop and various percussion. The show’s groove, beats, bass, hooks and Kotchy’s brilliant reworked mashups of classics vocals like Streisand & Joe Cocker or Springsteen & Fleetwood Mac thrown in for good measure, is a guaranteed crowd mover.
