New Zealand based producers
Weird Together drop their latest track
Bounce to the Beat featuring Ghanaian MCs
Edem & Kemenya with Jillionaire of
Major Lazer’s Feel Up Records
available for free download here until the official release
on June 30th.
From the infectious vocals leading to the
lifting brass and bass drop, it’s a perfect dance floor
filler that is sure to resonate with fans of EDM and
Caribbean sounds all over. A bonus remix by Dan Aux is here
to take things further into the night at raving level of
wobbling bass. Bounce on!
Helmed by Tokyo based New Zealand DJ and Radio / TV host Nick Dwyer and legendary Auckland based English music producer and DJ Dick "Magik J" Johnson, Weird Together is one of the most globally minded dance music projects to emerge from the South Pacific in recent times.
What started as a studio project is a now
fully formed 12 piece band with members hailing from all
corners of the globe with Karima Madut representing South
Sudan, Percussionist Mavs Adegbite representing Nigeria,
Alesano on steel pan being a super rare mix of Trini -
Samoan, and Jinitero MC being far far away from his homeland
of Cuba. They are joined up the mysterious Gaza Tripp on
Guitar, Izak Chads also on Pan and the mighty Horns of
Tekapo bringing the Brass blast. Together they have been
storming the stage at some of the biggest festivals around
New Zealand and Australia and now have their eyes firmly set
on bringing this unique mix of global sounds to the world
stage.
With their debut EP dropping at the beginning of
2015 on respected UK purveyor of incredible 'sounds of the
world' Soundway Records and a release set on The
Jillionaire's Feel Up Records things are certainly heading
in that direction.
