At the birthplace of house music, expectations were high, but fans would not be disappointed.

FAUX NO – Velma Kelly (Preview) (Mad Decent) (Bass Pop)

Stream:
Washington DC – FAUX NO is the production and vocal duo of Maaike Lebbing and Reija Lee (formally known as “Kito & Reija Lee”). Two passionate Australian friends now based in London; the two draw inspiration from a vast selection of music that has sound tracked the love, lust and teenage rebellion that defines so much of what they’re about. Maaike and Reija’s first collaborative release came in the form of the game changing “LFO” that was released in early 2009 on Skream’s Disfigured Dubz imprint. Since then, they have worked together on a number of pieces for Mad Decent, including the “Sweet Talk” EP, and have now reunited under one name to explore a new style.

Their first single under the new FAUX NO moniker is called “Velma Kelly”. A bass infused pop tune, it highlights both Maaike’s bombast percussion style with Reija’s melodic vocals. Along with the single we’ve got two remixes- one from recent Kito collaborator Feadz (Ed Banger) and a rapid-fire juke production from Norway’s Slick Shoota.
