The musical collective, known as 9 O’clock Nasty has returned with a dynamic new release, “The Wrong Guy (Kingflame Remix).” This collaboration with the mysterious Kingflame Sound System signals an exciting new direction for the band, merging their distinctive style with the deep, pulsating rhythms of reggae-tinged drum and bass.
This remix of “The Wrong Guy” is more than a simple rearrangement; it’s a complete metamorphosis. Kingflame, a legendary figure in pirate radio known for dominating the 2 a.m. airwaves, has long been an influence on countless artists. For 9 o’clock Nasty members Brock, Pepper, and Spudd, this collaboration was a long-awaited meeting of creative minds, born from years of mutual admiration.
The remix pushes creative boundaries, layering writhing basslines, slip-hit beats, and melodies that resonate with the walls of underground clubs. The reggae essence, subtly woven into the fabric of the track, adds a bouncy, infectious rhythm that carries the song effortlessly from start to finish.
While Kingflame’s signature sound is evident throughout, 9 O’clock Nasty’s unique identity remains at the forefront. The result is a groundbreaking sound that defies genre conventions and creates something wholly original and memorable.
This release is part of the band’s innovative RETREADS 2 project, which challenges traditional music release strategies. In an unconventional move, 9 O’clock Nasty chose to release the remix before the original version, which is set to debut in September as part of their upcoming album, THIS IS CROWLAND. This forthcoming LP is already generating buzz as a must-hear Alt/Indie release for 2024.
Fans can anticipate further collaborations between 9 O’clock Nasty and Kingflame in the near future. This remix marks the beginning of an exciting new era for the band, promising continued innovation and musical exploration with each new release.
“The Wrong Guy (Kingflame Remix)” is now available on all major streaming platforms, offering listeners a glimpse into the future of alternative music.
