1Forty's video: 1FBSS004: Mikey B x Sketchi - Tribal OUT NOW

Buy/Stream: https://smarturl.it/to39l2 Originating from Leeds, Mikey B began his journey as a music producer in late 2008, creating his own brand of electronic music right from the get go. Mikey’s sound drew influence from an array of styles of electronic dance music, utilising elements from genres such as UK Garage, Bassline and House. Fast forward 11 years and Mikey B has amassed a global following and respect from A List names across the Bass & Garage scenes such as My Nu Leng, Matt Jam Lamont, DJ Q, Holy Goof, Zed Bias, Skepsis & loads more. This was summed up by Holy Goof adding his track ‘Wanna Be Me’ to FabricLive 97. Since then the last two years have accelerated at a startling rate for Mikey. A consistent release schedule of self released material made up of both solo projects and collabs with the likes of Sammy Virji and label releases on the likes of Crucast (‘Back Around’ gaining 600k streams in 2019), paired with a stacked touring schedule performing at flagship Festivals including Glastonbury, Boomtown and Outlook as well as headline shows all over the UK and Europe has lead Mikey to become an indemand artist with around 50,000 Spotify listeners a month. These figures come as no surprise that Mikey is also gaining regular airplay and appearances across 1Xtra, Rinse FM and Kiss FM. Sketchi made his 1Forty debut in January this year on 1FBSS003 with arguably one of the most atmospheric tracks the label has released to date - ‘Hands Together’. Sketchi gives a lot of thanks to fellow Bass artist, Mikey B. Growing up in the same area of Leeds a musical relationship was born thanks to their shared love for Bass & Grime music and Mikey has been teaching and mentoring Sketchi for some years now which has gone on to birth a number of collabs amassing half a million streams between them. @MikeyBProduction www.facebook.com/mikeybproduction www.instagram.com/mikey_b_producer www.twitter.com/mikeybcomposer @SketchiProduction www.facebook.com/sketchimusic www.instagram.com/tomsketchi www.twitter.com/sketchi0113
