Skip ‘Little Axe’ McDonald…more than a hard grind

We’re delighted to announce that we’re now looking after all things ’social media’ for Ohio born Skip ‘Little Axe’ McDonald. He is without doubt one of the most innovative performers of his generation.

Skip made his name as an integral part of the Sugar Hill house band playing on the most influential early rap classics and as part of Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound crew he has made some of the most adventurous and praised UK music of the last twenty years.

Skip’s latest project is Call my Name, a cooperation with Daby TourĂ© fromn Mauritania, West Africa. Call my Name is a 6-track mini-album that captures the magic of this unique creative union, that sees songs – some by Toure, others by McDonald – transformed via imaginative, instinctive collaboration.

Crafted in Real World Studio’s state-of-the-art Big Room, Call My Name is a spellbinding record, the superlative result of focused energy, creative license and a famously pressure-free environment.
