Introduucing...Mikky Ekko!
This is Mikky Ekko. Last week, I received a track in my SoundCloud entitled "Sedated," a crawling, mysterious mixture of moans, claps, finger snaps and a barely-there electro tingle reminisicent of something from Bat For Lashes' Two Suns and a hint of Björk's Medulla. Very sexual, yet minimal and…
