DELS is a London hip hop mc and self-confessed comic nerd who i'm pretty excited about. With production from the likes of Micachu, Joe Hot Chip and Eli-T, coupled with a flow reminiscent of the early 90s heyday of hip hop, he seems to be a cut above the rest of the UK's otherwise hit and miss hip hop offerings. His eclectic range of influences, including Pharcyde's drop video, pirate radio, David Lynch and Where The Wild Things Are come through in his genre-defying sound.
Apparently not content with groundbreaking crossover collaborations, he's determined to push the boundaries in other areas, and his live show is renowned for being that little bit more innovative. Speaking with RWD earlier this month he said:
"I want to inject this whole visual element onstage; I want DELS to be as much about visual as it is audio. I used to dilute my music all the time, but then I thought ‘Fuck it, I’m just going to do what’s in my head', Thankfully people seem to like it."
Look out for his upcoming release Shapeshift, featured on Kwesachu Mixtape Vol. 1, alongside Golden Silvers, The XX & Ghost Poet, which you can listen to here.
