Hoodlem is “an anonymous project blending pulsing experimental beats, soulful vocals and crisp production.”
That’s the intro I found when I went looking for more information after hearing ‘IGOTU’ on my Soundcloud travels. The song’s funky beat and soulful vocalist reminded me of Jessie Ware’s most dancefloor-friendly work with Disclosure and Julio Bashmore.
Anyway, while there’s not much on them online, if you’re at Canadian Music Week, or in New York next week they’re playing live (alongside Ireland’s Kid Karate and all).
