Download Keep Watch Vol. 2: Teki Latex (Click Here)

For the latest addition of Mishka’s Keep Watch series, we have teamed up with Paris’ very own artist extraordinaire, Teki Latex. Bringing together exclusive tracks such as a High Powered Boys’ remix of Blaqstarr, RIVER’s B-more take on TTC’s Telephone and EP2000’s Capitaine Abandonne, which samples a classic French pop track from back in the day, this mix is a solid representation of Teki Latex’s naturally creative talent as a DJ and producer. Working with his close friend RIVER, the mix also represents Teki’s first full foray into experimenting with Ableton live. The result is a mix that is colorful, fun and uniquely Teki.

For this mix, listeners can expect to get a creatively diverse experience starting with fun, minimal songs from the likes of Errorsmith, all with a little bit of wonky house sprinkled on top. Then, the mix delves into rap — including a freestyle that Teki does on top of Ratatat’s Mirando — B-more and big Ibiza house, then finally ending off with some harder tracks similar to the sets that Teki Latex has been known for. In between all of this goodness, fans can also find a couple of little treats in the form of Teki Latex’s infamous Obsession/Be/Show Me Love routine and a new track called Raven, a special freestyle done over Proxy’s Raven.

Born in 1978, Teki Latex is a Paris-based Electronica, Dance and Hip Hop artist working both independently and as a part of TTC. His 2007 collaboration with Lio for Les Matins de Paris, remains an international internet favorite today. Aside from his own music projects, Teki Latex is also the co-founder of the independent hip hop and Electronica record label Institubes. You can catch Teki Latex live at the Pop Montreal Festival on October 3, 2008 with additional dates across Canada to follow or playing regularly in his Parisian hometown.
