OUR STORY
At the end of a long night filled with Chinatown soup dumplings and conversations on their disapproval of the Top 40 charts, the hosts and roommates, Loudmouth and K.O. Kent, were determined to bring their message of cheap eats and deep beats to more than just the annoyed waitstaff. Mott Mates is music mixtape blended live that explores modern, groovy, minimal nu-disco and indie-house sounds while integrating the lyrical hip hop influences which have established roots in both Mates' musical upbringing. We recommend listening with plenty of good food and company to ensure both edible and audible sustenance is provided to our audience.
