MO-T

Hip Hop
County Dublin
744

Al Fitz (microphone and non sequiturs)
Paul Hargreaves (production and itchy fingered pro football gaming)
Carnie (scratches, effects and positive vibes)

mo-t are a group that you will struggle to pigeonhole. The band has dubbed their part Hip Hop, part Techno, part Breakbeat, part Dubstep, part Ambient, part DnB, part ‘whatever you’re having yourself’ sound “Superfuck Music” and that moniker is as apt as any.

“From 9the Pain” is an exploration inside the sublimely warped cerebellum of singer/MC Al Fitz who at times can channel a William Burroughs style cut and paste attitude, a Spike Milligan sense of the absurd, and a Cantona sized slice of the abstract. Of course at other times he is uniquely himself as his expounded often skewed worldview demonstrates.

Strapping a musical narrative to all this lyrical thought bouncing may seem nigh on impossible but producer Paul Hargreaves deftly steps up to the task to compose a rhythmic and vital musical backdrop that nimbly flips from light and melodious to dark and brooding, stopping at almost every point in between.

mo-t are obliged to say 'without carnie, none of this would be possible'
