Two Fingers
- by 319
Two Fingers are Amon Tobin and Joe “Doubleclick” Chapman. The pair met when Tobin lived in Brighton and bonded over an interest in music that ran way beyond the boundaries of “electronica”. Last year, while Tobin was living in Montreal, they began bouncing beats back and forth, trying to apply production techniques associated with UK styles like drum & bass to the template of hip hop. When they had a few tunes together they sent them to North London MC Sway. He was so taken with what they were doing, he flew straight out to Montreal and recorded seven tracks with them. The remaining rhythms were voiced by sometime Missy protégé Ms Jade and dancehall legend Cecile.
The first single, ‘What You Know’ featuring Sway, is out now with the album dropping March/April on Big Dada/Paper Bag Records.

i’m diggin’ this track
dope. reminds my of k-the-i. maybe even better
interesting shit.
i never saw a comparison between sway and kiki. i was thought they were completely different.
Yeah i don’t think this Sway guy sounds like k-the-i, although on certain songs i think k-the-i and vast aire sound similar.
dope beat. but kiki absolutely destroys this guy.
would never compare k-the-i??? and sway
that said, this record is fucking sick
ok i get the point already
kiki if you see this I will message you soon 🙂
max, i actually found it really interesting that you compared them though… i should have stated that. i actually looked at sway differently after you said that.
well in all honesty they are different. it was overall an ignorant thing for me to say. I’m just not that well educated on the styles of rap that come out of mush and big dada camps other than what gets posted on ugsmag or the endemik board, so i interpreted it based on the immediate similarities. i shouldn’t have said one was ‘maybe better’, cause k-the-i is absolutely sick with it and wayy better than the average artist.
it’s always all good max!!!!!!!
i really like this beat.
