Skinny Pelembe on his music: I need to do it rather than want to do it

Guardian picks out Doncaster-based 28-year-old Skinny Pelembe in their One to Watch section: "On his latest single, 'No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish', this unexpected mix of styles comes to the fore. Referencing the racism of 1950s British boarding houses, as well as Beardmore’s own experiences of xenophobia, the single also nods to London’s broken beat scene in its propulsive, incantatory melodies. It’s an unlikely combination, but it works". Listen to the jazzy-dance tune here.
