Reflecting on his artistic evolution, Mr. Mitch shared, “I created DJ Cuddles as a fun and functional alternative to the honesty of Mr. Mitch. Two significant events this year prompted me to revisit my roots as Mr. Mitch.”
These events included a trip to Nigeria and the passing of Mitchell’s father, who has been a profound source of inspiration throughout his life. In 2017, Mr. Mitch released a poignant video on fatherhood in conjunction with his track ‘Priority’, exploring the emotional depth of parental relationships.
The Making of ‘The Lost Boy’
Discussing the creation of his forthcoming album, Mr. Mitch revealed, “Mr. Mitch albums have always served as a mirror to my personal experiences. ‘The Lost Boy’ is no exception, reflecting a tumultuous period in my professional and musical journey.”
‘The Lost Boy’ will mark Mr. Mitch’s fourth album, succeeding his previous release ‘Lazy’ in 2021. The second single from the album, ‘Smitten’, is scheduled for release on October 16.
Legacy and Influence
Mr. Mitch’s impact on the grime scene is evident through his legendary club night and radio show Boxed, which paved the way for more instrumental and alternative productions within the genre. The establishment of Gobstopper Records in 2010 further solidified his commitment to nurturing unique sounds, featuring works by producers like Otik, Nikki Nair, and BFTT.
