King So So in the mix for Edwin Europe

We first heard about King So So and his "Disco In The Sky" through Hippie Dance (watch the video here), but that seems to only have been the beginning - Edwin Europe secured an exclusive mixtape from that deeply mysterious entity and it certainly is an appropriately trippy affair, constantly oscillating between gauzy orgues and disco paraphernalia. But who is King So So? Well, the only widely known fact about King So So is that he is a King. It is not entirely clear if King So So was born on planet Earth or somewhere in the sky. Some biographies claim that King So So grew up with wolves in the deep forests of Siberia but later in his life studied taxidermy at the University of the Sky. However, as no biography on his life is regarded as neither accurate nor based on first-hand knowledge, it is not even clear if King So So is actually a man. Some lesbian groups (note: especially in South Africa and Australia), claim that King So So is in actual fact, a woman. Further rumor has it that King So So opened the Disco in the Sky after suffering from a severe bout of depression due to loneliness and intense attacks of melancholy. Even though many journalists over the past 100 years have tried to track him down for an interview, only one claimed to have heard King So So howl at the moon "Soooooo Soooooo much love!". NASA has reputedly made contact with King So So when they orbited the Earth on an international satellite maintenance mission and it is rumored that one of the astronauts asked King So So what it’s like to be King of the Sky. He allegedly answered in a slow, deep, melancholic voice: “It’s So So.“
