"This is a full sonic adaptation of my novel, made by us. It took a village. It tells a story set in and around the North London heroin trade, of heroin hidden inside the buds of a growing cabbage and transported to the UK from Turkey. Some of the songs are what happened off-camera. Some are how a scene sounded from the middle. Some are from beholders. I recorded each track thinking of the best way to tell you the story with no hesitation."
"Produced with Jersey club pioneer TAH, the mixtape draws from cold road mixtape culture and features Turkish sonic rarities, including a sample from classical music icon Zeki Müren, infusing the project with the bustling essence of North London's underground. Keeping the House - The Mixtape follows Neoprene Genie's debut release, Live From the Metropolis, a poignant collaboration exploring London's darker sides."
Tice Cin releases Keeping the House - The Mixtape on Neoprene Genie as a full-length sonic adaptation of earlier work. The mixtape has eight original tracks and remixes by Ikonika and Nammy Wams, blending ambient rap, experimental electronic, and poetic grime. The project creates a cinematic narrative centred on community, the North London heroin trade, and survival, incorporating Turkish sonic rarities and a sample of Zeki Müren. Produced with Jersey club pioneer TAH, the mixtape draws from cold road mixtape culture and North London's underground. The release complements a BBC Radio 4 documentary amplifying unheard voices in the North London drugs scene, especially women and youth.
