Tonga (Mike Skinner & Murkage)

Tonga, the night started by Mike Skinner and Murkage Dave, is celebrating its first birthday – and in some style. As well as a party at The Waiting Room, and a bonkers birthday mix, the Tonga Balloon Gang have released a three-track EP, with guest appearances from grime MCs Big Narstie and Jammer (as well as regulars Gaika, Oscar #worldpeace, Klepto and DJ Smith).
We spoke to the ever-amusing Mike and Dave about the tracks that influenced the EP.

All we care about is money and the city that we’re from. DJ Khaled is like our Apostle Paul. The scales have fallen from our eyes and now we see clearly. Another one.
