Friday 9th Nov: Kate Moross vs. BenZel ft. Jessie Ware








Here are stills from a new music video which is a no-brainer bringing together of great minds >>>>>>  a banging collaboration of Kate Moross 's animated hypercolour visuals for new producer outfit BenZel featuring Jessie Ware on vocals.  BenZel is Umi Takahashi (15) and Yoko Watanabe (16). Originally from Osaka; Umi and Yoko both travelled to New York through their local foreign exchange program. They met in early 2012 through an online message board about ankle socks and quickly discovered they each had a profound appreciation for 90's R&B and J. Dilla. After many failed attempts to create a hypoallergenic ankle sock, they decided to put their efforts toward other creative ventures. Following hours of soul searching; they decided to start BenZel.  I don't think I'm at liberty to divulge the identity of BenZel, but tune your ears in and it might well become evident ........ and tune in to the site and Facebook for future releases .................
