About
mOat & Scuba join forces on Aus Music for their ‘Seamstress’ EP
The powerhouse collaboration lands on Will Saul’s imprint in February and features Timbaland
collaborator Soshy’s vocals.
Since 2022, mOat have put out a string of releases featuring remixes from the likes of Âme, Gerd Janson,
DJ Tennis & more. Comprising two established English producers from opposite ends of dance music, the
project is a product of the pandemic, where isolation in the Balearics led to a new creative pairing and
direction. Now, the shadowy duo enter the studio with Hotflush boss Scuba - following the recent release of
his hardcore-inflected ‘Digital Underground’ mixtape - one of contemporary electronic music’s most vital
figures as a label owner/A&R, promoter, podcaster and, of course, multigenre artist, also tapping French
singer/songwriter Soshy for her original vocals on ‘Seamstress’.
Title track ‘Seamstress’ cuts deep. The clipped drums give off Mood II Swing energy while dusty early
20th-century string samples ride an undulating sine-wave bassline and a heady spoken word vocal from
Soshy washes across the whole intoxicating affair. ‘Cee Parkin’ on the virtual flip provides a weighty
counterpoint to ‘Seamstress’. A swaggering, robust rhythm track underpins a vocal, string-laden piano house
cut that favours contemporary dancefloor punch over nostalgia.
mOat + Scuba ‘Seamstress’ drops via Aus Music on 11th January 2024, with the full EP dropping on
2nd February 2024.
