Lickshot

The second "oneshot" release from the CoOp Presents label for 2025, this one courtesy of Donsurf and Oliver Night on a North/South clash called 'Lickshot'.

East London's Oliver Night has established himself as a prominent talent in the bruk world as a DJ, vocalist, producer and songwriter. In addition to his own productions, he's collaborated with artists such as Bel Cobain, Jay Phelps, BB James, Inkswel, Jimpster, IG Culture, Quiet Dawn & Heartless Crew's Mighty Moe. Originally a member of Roots Manuva's Banana Klan, he's played at various venues across the capital, from the Tate Modern to Boiler Room, as well as on air at Worldwide FM and Rinse FM. Previous support has come via selectors such as Tony Humphries, Honey Dijon, Kerri Chandler, Jazzie B, Gilles Peterson, Kid Fonque, Rainer Trueby, Jamz Supernova & Seth Troxler, as well as press from the likes of Bolting Bits and Music Is My Sanctuary.

Donsurf is a producer and DJ originally from Manchester, currently residing in Leeds. He's had past releases with labels such as Dance Regular, Ec2a and Kultura Collective, along with a string of self-released killer edits. With a popular monthly show on Rinse FM, his selections draw from a wide range of funk, jazz, house and garage, combining the soulful with the dark, predominantly centering himself with explorations of all corners of bruk boogie. His own productions have again had support from the likes of IZCO and the Brighter Days Family, BBC 6 Music's Jamz Supernova and, of course, the CoOp Presents crew; previously appearing on the label with a remix for Oliver Night's collaboration with Bel Cobain, 'Blame Game'.

'Lickshot' is rough and tough. The certified duttiest of bruk riddims, sure to cause pure murderation in any dance. Solid bassweight and pure soundsystem ethics from the edge, to the very last drop. CP are absolutely not ramping this year. Nuff said.

'Lickshot' is available exclusively on all DSPs May 30th 2025.
