Rocky O’Reilly Vs Math The Band

Despite not being able to get into his main central Belfast hangout, Start Together, Rocky’s been spending the lockdown hammering away at mixes. One of the fruits of his labour is this awesome new single from Rhode Island Nintendocore pioneers and frequent collaborators Math The Band.

What he’s less known for is his killer work on pop and hip-hop, his knack for melody and amazing programming skills (as well as his wild collection of synthesisers). It always excites me when he gets to show off this side of his personality. Today is one such opportunity, as his first track with Dublin’s Tebi Rex is released.
