Where I'm From ft Mr Porter
Release description
This one is a very personal release for the Goldfat team.
Andy Skopes was an amazing talent and his time with us was tragically cut short when he passed away from cancer earlier this year. Andy had slowly been solidifying his reputation with a slew of releases on drum and bass heavyweights such as Metalheadz, V Recordings, Dispatch and Inperspective Records.
It is with great pride we bring you 'Where I'm From' featuring Goldfat's own Mr Porter who regularly MC'd with Andy at his Croydon residency, Spectrum. This track started life over 5 years ago as a free download on Soundcloud but Andy had always said he wanted to do a refix with some vocals from Mr Porter.
When Mr P heard the tracks brooding bassline and melancholy piano keys he decided the lyrics should reflect his and Andy's hometown, Croydon, hence 'Where I'm From'.
6 hypnotic minutes of rolling breaks, emotive pads and twist ing basslines that soar high taking the listener on an out of body experience, demonstrating Andy's raw talent and reminding us why he will be so missed by the scene.
With the blessing of Andy's family all profits will go directly to Cancer Research UK.
