Deptford Goth's love for all things '90s is clear: he sampled pop mainstay and glitter princess Mariah Carey in his track "Real Love Fantasy," and his Myspace page features an image of a hard-partying Naomi Campbell in stilettos, fishnets, and black leather booty shorts.
"No Man," the latest track from off his upcoming Merok EP, Youth II, seems to be an homage to another great '90s icon-- the minimal, chilled-out ambience, deadened vocals and sparse piano noodlings of "No Man" is strikingly reminiscent of Moby's "Porcelain," which itself samples Ernest Gold's "Fight for Survival." The track has a mournful, soulful tone akin to gospel music with a trip-hop edge. Accompanied by steady and unhurried drum clips, the London producer Daniel Woolhouse's voice never rises above a mumbled whisper. --Jasmine Zhu, Altered Zones
