The prolific Manchester-based artist known as Robot Needs Oil has been found covertly recording downtempo and hip hop fueled beats under the curious name of My Neighbour Is. This recent document, Fish & Chips, is the new album from My Neighour Is, exhibiting nine tracks of rolling flavor and head-nodding spiciness primed to get sneakers shuffling in a b-boy frenzy. Floor friendly funk and distinct sample-ology abound, recalling the days when jazzy beats frequently cascaded out of nightclub sound systems. With top tracks like “Blessing The Funk,” “Little Freak,” “Zeppelin,” and “Mr. Scream” we’re certain to hear heavy beats hitting the dance floors in earnest once again. So, find a clear space, put down a piece a cardboard, and start boogie’ing to the potent grooves of My Neighbour Is.
