#ThrowbackThursday: GIHE w/ Eckoes 09.02.17

Due to the current lockdown/pandemic, we’re unable to make it in to the Hoxton Radio studio to broadcast our weekly live new music show from 7-9pm. Instead, we’re sharing previous show recordings as #ThrowbackThursday sessions, so you can still enjoy 2 hours of new music & chats with some of our favourite artists each week.

Today, we’ve picked our February 2017 show with the wonderful Eckoes. She joined Mari, Tash & Kate to celebrate GIHE’s second birthday on air, and performed tracks ‘Nobody Else’ and ‘Struggles’ with guitarist Adam live in the studio. You can also listen to Eckoes’ latest single ‘The Light’ here.

Track Of The Day: Lotic – ‘Burn A Print’

Pulsing beats, jagged synths and beguiling vocals combine on Lotic‘s latest single, ‘Burn A Print’. Released via Houndstooth, Lotic’s mission is to “live life to the fullest by not giving a fuck about what anybody thinks”, something she clearly and defiantly communicates on her new track.

Born in Houston USA but now a familiar face on the Berlin underground club and electronic music scene, Lotic (aka J’Kerian Morgan) shared her debut album Power in 2018. The record showcased her vocal and songwriting abilities for the first time, consolidating her skills into a coherent message about transforming fear in to fierce autonomy. ‘Burn a Print’ continues this narrative, as Lotic explains: “to burn your print into this Earth, because when you go, you need to remind the future bitches that you was here.”

Through commanding beats and hypnotic vocals, Lotic leaves her mark on her listeners. “You know your worth / you know your value” she sings at the beginning of the track, re-affirming her message of independence and autonomy. With a name that means to “to inhabit rapidly moving water”, Lotic’s chaotic yet fluid soundscapes truly embody her passionate, fighting spirit. Listen to ‘Burn a Print’ below and follow Lotic on Facebook & Spotify for more updates.
