As producer-come-songwriter Tieks reveals his debut track, 'Cake', a tribute to the sadly recently deceased Louisiana rapper Ceddybu, be aware that there's a new strain of ghetto house ready to smash your face in.
Championed by DJ Monki (Radio 1), and now signed to her indie imprint Zoo Music, 'Cake' shows Tieks dancefloor dexterity, welding a hard edged Chicago influenced rhythm with Tieks trademark 808 led groove and the late Ceddybu's vocals.
No newcomer, behind the scenes Mark Tieku aka Tieks is responsible for co-writes with Florence & The Machine and Duke Dumont, and his production skills have already been called upon by Rudimental who nabbed a remix for their latest track ‘Powerless’.
