It is high time you checked out Mike Dennis' interactive music video, Clock Face, at http://www.mikedennismusic.com 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 half-seriously 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. In 2016, Mike released "Smiles & Cries" on his own label, D-Funk Records. The single, "Stuff" was picked up as Tom Robinsons 6music Recommends track in March 2016. In 2017, Mike performed at TEDxCardiff. "OH.MY.GOD... How have I not heard @Mikedennisyeah before last week's FOTN submissions. CHECK THIS OUT folks: "Stuff" (Tom Robinson, 6Music) "That shit you was doing...took me to different dimensions, man" (Vordal Mega of Cannibal Ox) "How many brains do you have?!" (Sensible J/Remi)
