MB Spacekid – Cuba
BMB Spacekid, aka Dmitry Semenov, is 26 years old and hails from the coldest depths of St. Petersburg in his homeland of Russia. His music, however, is the polar opposite. Laced with P-funk and rare groove influences and a harmonious combination of astral landscapes, one might think BMB recorded his material on the West Coast two decades ago.
In his nascent career he has toured extensively in Russia and Europe sharing the stage with everyone from HudMo and Ras G through to MF Doom and Wu Tang. Whether he is cruising in the back of a red drop top or on stage, BMB Spacekid knows how to hammer an MPC with devastating effect.
Previously a participant in Red Bull’s prestigious Bass Camp plus teaching at the Goethe-Institut in Hamburg as part of their Hip Hop Academy, BMB’s prolific output never sacrifices on quality. One up and coming rapper in particular by the name of Goldlink took notice: he jumped on a BMB instrumental from the vaults and created the silky yet hard hitting “Playah.”
His first UK release will come in the form of the Cuba EP released 10th November 2014 on vinyl via brand-new label The Full Hundred, who couldn’t be happier to have signed this Russian prodigy who is set to deliver an EP that’s mature beyond his years.
