I know that members of the forum have closed the book on this topic, but hear me out.
Mohican Sun had a tune released called "Darkest Hour" back in 2019. The track was also released on the UKF10 compilation. Now, on the UKF10 compilation version, as always, the writing credits are just to "M.Sun" however, on the "Darkest Hour [UKF10] single" version the writing credits are to three individuals, they are:
Christian "Kalla" Crada
Francesca Bergami (aka Lyves)
Shahrooz Raoofi
and then it says produced by Mohican Sun (I've been sitting on this theory for months and months and only recently has the tune had Mohican Sun added to the "Produced by" column. You'll have to take my word for that though).
"Lyves" released a track 5 years ago through their Soundcloud appropriately titled "Darkest Hour" (
) and it's almost as though the Mohican Sun version of Darkest Hour is actually a remix (I use the term remix loosely as it seems like some drums have been added). The track by "Lyves" was produced by Kalla and mixed by Shahrooz Raoofi.
Shahrooz Raoofi and Kalla are artists who have released music of varying dance genres but never any DnB in their own names. Could Shahrooz Raoofi or Kalla (or both) be using the Mohican Sun name to release DnB? Could it be that they decided to create a DnB version of the track as they had already mixed a version of Darkest Hour in a different genre?
For whatever reason, UKF gave writing credits the to the three aforementioned individuals on the "Darkest Hour [UKF10]" and not Mohican Sun despite that fact the Mohican Sun (whoever they may be) has somewhat remixed the tune by "Lyves". The "Lyves" tune was released on Soundcloud 2/3 years before we heard Mohican Sun's "Darkest Hour" and we all are aware of how long it takes to get a tune released (probably about that long).
Hope you enjoy the read! What are you thoughts? Has UKF completely dropped the ball and revealed part of the secret behind Mohican Sun and also, how has this not been spotted before? This is the only Mohican Sun or Dawn Wall track I can find where anyone outside of them has got a writing credit, surely it can't just be an accident and why is there not any continuity in the writing credits given by UKF on two versions of the same tune both released by UKF...?
Please, continue to make up your own minds but I've personally never truly been convinced by the argument that Dawn Wall and Mohican Sun are artists that we already all know of. I'm definitely sceptical of it being Dave Benson-Phillips though.
