FERAL aKa MC KINKY / LOVEBOX 2011 from LIZLTD on Vimeo.

From one lady who performed at Carvival to another - Feral aka MC KINKY. Here are photos of Feral from a festival performance earlier in the summer when she took to the main stage at Lovebox. You can watch a mini documentary reel which caught the day's atmosphere shot by LIZ LTD and also Feral's latest musical release with Joe & Will Ask (menswear designer William Richard Green's musical alias).

Feral is a new incarnation from a former moniker "MC Kinky" at the time of her demo called KINKY REGGAE, which she gave to Boy George when they met in a nightclub. Shortly after rapping on KIPSY (a track on George's HIGH HAT album), he signed her to MORE PROTEIN. This led to the appearance of the first E-Zee Posse single, EVERYTHING STARTS WITH AN 'E', which reached the Top 20 in the UK. Since spearheading the UK Dance and Rave scene from both the Underground and Mainstream, DJ-ing and MC-ing lead her to work with UK & European DJS such as Danny Rampling, Paul Okenfold, Pete Tong, Norman Cook.
After a residency in Ibiza at Manumission, Kinky returned to London to write the solo album Girl with a Halo under a new name, Feral. Most recently she has shown art films and performed in international galleries and museums............ written scores for the National Theatre and soundtracks for designer's shows at fashion week........... you may recognise this Louise Gray Smiley bomber jacket here styled by her good friend and co-conspirator Jeanette........for whom she performed at the block party which opened Jeanette's boutique. This was where I first saw Feral and couldn't believe that such an astonishingly powerful and righteous voice was emanating from a tiny dainty frame ........ bopping round in an entirely covered lace face mask. Ive never seen anything quite like this unique and quintessential London talent so be sure to check her out when she comes to a soundsystem near you.........

Thanks to Darrell Berry for the photos.
