She's emerged as one of the most interesting artists in the lo-fi wave of the past few years with a blend of English and Spanish lyrics as well as her varied production choices. We chatted about how she's been coping with lockdown creatively, partying with Slowthai in Paris, performing on Jools Holland, the London underground scene and her sound going forwards.

Mabfield FM: Erica-Cody, Why-Axis & Gaptoof #001

Welcome to Mabfield FM ! Our brand new podcast series where we call up our favourite artists, creatives and friends of Mabfield to have a chit chat about how they are holding up in the most turbulent times of our life times.

Up first we have one of Ireland's finest RnB prospects in Erica-Cody. She's been busy leading Black Lives Matter marches in Dublin and we chatted about how the fight though emotionally draining is 100% necessary. She also talked about her dad's basketball career in Ireland and how lockdown has affected her productivity.

Why-Axis stopped by to talk about getting stuck in Amsterdam during the pandemic and a nationwide shortage meaning he has been going on treks to find the devil's lettuce. We talk what the future of gigs look like and how his video for 'BLOODSTAIN' has become a window into a period of time before lockdown when nights out were normal.

Soft Boy Records' Gaptoof chatted to us about working with Chlobocop, trying to get placements in the next year and what the next step is for him following the successful release of his 'Looks Like Rain' Project.

Lock in!

How EMBY is Bridging the gap between rap and rave in Belfast #Mabcast S2E1

Belfast rapper Emby has really come to the fore after lockdown with performances at AVA, Plain Sailing Belfast and Crilli DNB. He’s been steadily releasing music of his own, hopping between rap, jungle, dnb and just about anything else he fancies. It puts him in the unique position where he satisfies both the pickiest hip hop heads and dance music die hards.

We talked about Ireland’s attitude towards art and creativity generally, working with Curtisy, Rory Sweeney and Ahmed, With Love. and the media’s propensity to box in black artists as “urban music”.
