There's one thing that stands above the rest when speaking to singer/songwriter Yemi Bolatiwa and that's her involuntary passion for music. There's a natural hunger that seeps from the 22 year old, which acts as somewhat of a definitive precursor to her success, even if the route toward that goal isn't as clear as her passion: "If I'm not talking about work, I'm talking about music. If you've got music in your life and you get to live music and get better at it, it's a great thing."

We at newsicmoos formed a small bond with this duo after hearing a remix that was released not so long ago on the mighty Southern Fried Records. Together, Tom and Oli produce the type of electronic music that urges the feet to stomp and the head to nod; just think Dirtybird or Pets Recordings and you'll be on the right lines. Alas, we begin our journey through Manchester and inaugurate our new feature with a mix & some words from the cheeky chaps that go by the name Frogs In Socks. Get to know!

Her sentiment was this: “You guys certainly know your electronic music, but you have no idea how to club!”
