As we proceed with the fourth digi-single from Children of Zeus' highly-acclaimed debut album, 'Travel Light', Tyler Daley and Konny Kon welcome LayFullStop into the fold for 'Fear Of A Flat Planet'.
LayFullStop has been turning heads on the Manchester Hip Hop Soul scene for a couple years now, and has received props from DJs and tastemakers across the country and beyond. One of the album's few features, and a very logical one at that, this feel-good 4-minute blast of upbeat positivity sees Lay and Zeus' yout shrug away the negativity of yesterday, in pursuit of happiness.
It's only been two months since the release of 'Travel Light', but it's fair to say that the Mancunian duo's debut album has been pretty well received...
Already heralded as "album of the year" by many, it's received love far & wide from the likes of Jazzy Jeff, Mr Scruff, Goldie, DJ Spinna, Jazzie B, Trevor Nelson, Pharoahe Monch, Marc Mac, Chase & Status, Mistajam, Ace, Shy FX, Gilles Peterson, Dev, Toddla T, Benji B, The Nextmen, Twin B, Ms Dynamite, DJ MK & Shortee Blitz, Huey Morgan, Maverick Sabre, Ronnie Herel, Sarah Love, Becca D, Alex Nut, Jamz Supernova and Shy One, to name just a few.
Just in the past month, they've appeared live on Boiler Room in Valencia, Beats 1, BBC 1Xtra, Rinse FM, NTS, Mi-Soul and Fubar Radio, and had glowing reviews & features in OkayPlayer, Nation Of Billions, Trench, Clash, Mixmag, Complex, Ambrosia For Heads, Red Bull, Evening Standard, DJ Mag, RWD, Bklyn Music, Earmilk, Vinyl Factory, Line Of Best Fit and Music Is My Sanctuary, just for starters.
Meanwhile, Tyler Daley and Konny Kon continue performing shows and festivals across Europe with the Travel Light Tour kicking off all across the UK in November.
No more looking back. The Summer of Zeus continues.
