Grime star Kano is going all electro for his new album, hauling in some fine producers to craft some of his beats.
Hot Chip, Berlin's Boys Noize and Radioclit will all be grafting for the set, due for 2010.
Of the hook-up with Hot Chip, the east London boy told FACT: 'I soon found out [Hot Chip] were fans of a lot of the music I make and music I grew up on too. Joe's always talking about Sticky who was one of my favourite producers from the garage world. I didn't know they was so into it at first. I just liked what they do. I think they're heavy.
'I approached them to work on my album and they said yes - simple as that really. Now I think, so far, they've made two of my three favourite tracks on the record. I think the tracks we've recorded together draw influences from hip hop, grime, UK funky and obviously they're rough and electronic sounding. What's so interesting is the two worlds coming together; you never hear my style of spitting on beats like it. I can't wait for people to hear them.'
