Get Acquainted With...Derrick Nenzo
In the streaming society that we've found ourselves wading through, the parameters used in which to present and categorise Art are more cavernous than ever.
Classical sits comfortably next to Grime on ready-made drive time playlists whilst cinematic vignettes accompany new releases of every genre from Pop to Polka, usually dreamt up and wholly executed by the acts themselves.
Somebody who utilises this expansive sign of the times credo to full effect is Derrick Nenzo!
As a professional Graphic Designer, Nenzo communicates his unique message via the production of his own art direction, design and promotion ensuring a completely uncompromised vision of creativity. This multimedia approach allows Nenzo to dabble in an endless array of artistic disciplines showcasing his enviably versatile talents.
And so enter '...and Other Creepy Crawlies 2', the brand new long player released on 23rd May 2025 which puts these many layers firmly on full display.
Spanning 13 tracks and clocking in at a trim 30 minutes, '...and Other Creepy Crawlies 2' covers a dizzying multitude of themes in a breakneck fashion and via a vigorous mesh of styles. Whether that be the distressing mistreatment of addiction within the UK prison system ('Black Eye Friday'), the self-destructive inevitable malaise that accompanies a break-up ('Bitter') or offering an autobiographical anthem pinpointing the life events that led to the very creation of The NenzoVerse ('Three Piggies'), this set delivers it's missives to the backdrop of distorted big beat bass, eclectic metal guitar and broadly expansive hip-hop harmony.
With such a range of headline-heralding topics and urgent distribution, Nenzo still manages to squeeze in perfectly breezy old skool 80's ambience on 'Beverley', featuring the excellent Amber Jay performing dreamy vox, and honey-glazed synths on the Gorillaz-esque '12 Out of 10'.
Bold, adventurous and obliterating every would be expectation that befalls it, '...And Other Creepy Crawlies 2' is set to stun throughout the Summer before building its own planet to conquer space with.
