Spaceman drops “Mumblecore” ft ABGOHARD
Freeport, NY word-smith Spaceman returns with new single “Mumblecore.” Featuring his former Inner City Kids Collective co-horts ABGOHARD and Producer K3Mal the track lives up to his musical moniker as this genre-bending joint sounds like intergalactic street hustler music. Head-nodding, hypnotic and at times stereo-rattling, the two lyricists speak gully, distorting the lines between urban city and outer cosmos.

Speaking on the single, Spaceman said “This is the first song in a series I’ve titled “Social Skills” which is both a reference to the three (soon to be four) projects I’ve released in the last few years that feature no other artists and also my willingness to step out of my comfort zone and collaborate with other rappers whose skills I respect. Like irony you know, ‘haha’.”
Enlisting a myriad of different collaborators, the forthcoming singles demonstrate an artist who enjoys flexing in multiple styles while always focusing on his messages and his bars. Most recently Spaceman released the Annihilation LP which yielded the singles “Law” and “Thrift And Diligence” (links below)

Releasing music over the past decade solo (and formerly part of the Inner City Kids Collective) Spaceman has collaborated with such artists as Duncecap, Rokamouth (Pro Era) and Vulkan The Krusader. He has also toured the Northeast several times.

‘Wild for the Weekend’ is the 2nd single from Zkeletonz’ forthcoming debut album ‘OUT!’—self-produced and featuring mixing and mastering by Sam Wheat (Nile Rodgers) and Alex Gopher (Chromeo, Ed Banger).
This is independent electro-disco at full power, channelling the spirits of Breakbot, Phoenix, Daft Punk’s Homework, and classic Ed Banger French Touch, but from the UK scene. The band blend synth-pop, disco, and indie and create music designed for movement, with a distinctively stylish and ironic edge.
DIY-built, the band is bringing synth pop to a new generation and selling out 500-capacity London venues 100% independently. Gracing festival stages in their hometown of Coventry and across the UK for BBC Introducing in addition to touring internationally in Berlin, Amsterdam and Malta, as well as hitting radio airwaves like BBC 6Music’s Fresh Finds and John Kennedy’s X-Posure, the band has built a reputation for high-energy performances, sharp visuals, and an uncompromising artistic vision.
Debut Zkeletonz album ‘OUT!’ is a sonic love letter to London club culture and late-night events. But with a focus on the unique and unforgettable experience only live music can provide. As the band continue to crowdfund the Vinyl / CD production of the Album, the album’s full supporting campaign for the album will launch Fri 30th May with an explosive free Gig at The Finsbury, in advance of in-store appearances and a physical Vinyl drop in August, before finally a huge show at Camden Underworld (500 capacity) on Fri 12th Dec.
This incredible achievement from Zkeletonz with no label, management or agency will follow self-promoted headline gigs at Highbury Garage and Hackney OSLO, plus regular slots at huge UK festivals like Feastival with CHIC & Nile Rodgers; All Points East, London alongside Foals and Jamie XX; and in Camden with Shalamar and Soul II Soul.
On the new single, Zkeletonz said, “”Wild for the Weekend” means the world to us. It’s the final track on ‘OUT!’—an epic, emotional closer that captures the essence of our recent experiences exploring music together. We’re lucky to be 3 best friends who have persevered for years as a creative collective, since high school. But this is the first song we’ve ever made entirely through a studio-based process, layering up that classic Korg M1 synth while we were deep-diving into Detroit Techno, Chicago House, and the many legends from postmodern French electronica. Lyrically it’s about how partying—those wild, crazy weekends—can sometimes be something that fixes or stabilises a turbulent romance. It’s raw, it’s alive, and we absolutely cannot wait to share this one with a crowd.”
As always, production by the band’s own electronic drummer and multi-instrumentalist member Ed Trotsky (also Runrummer, Coin Operated Boy) forms the centrepiece of Zkeletonz as a creative project and endeavour, weaving sonically from 1980s and 2000s synth influences including classic pop by the Pet Shop Boys and Human League, and tasteful, contemporary blogwave, alternative and indie sounds similar to Confidence Man, Sofi Tukker and The Dare.
