Heard this for the first time during Winter Music Conference when Annie Mac had Calvin Harris on her show. Dizzee Rascal taking it a bit more dance-pop route than his signature DIY grime material. On the other side of the spectrum from his Mercury Prize winning first album. Calvin Harris acts as the “Dr. Dre” to Dizzee’s “Snoop Dogg”. A party tune that will definitely go down well in the club this summer. “Dance Wiv Me”will be released on CD, 12″ and download on June 7th through Dizzee’s own Dirtee Stank label.
New UK duo the Tings Tings will bring its electro-indie-pop sounds to the states with multiple performances at this year’s SXSW followed with a coast-to-coast mini-tour of select US art house and alternative music spaces.
Tour Dates:
3/9/08 Seattle, WA Vera Project
3/11/08 Echo Park, CA Reo Center Studio
3/19/08 Brooklyn, NY Union Hall
3/20/08 Chicago, IL AV-aerie
With the beautiful Katie White juggling vocals, guitar and bass and Jules De Martino on drums, the Ting Tings are conquering America. BBC.com included them in their Sounds of 2008: Top 10 to Watch and acclaims their “mix of pop sensibility and indie credibility” has led to their instant success.
“Great DJ” is a catchy tune which is making its way onto many charts these days. The single hit the streets on March 3rd on CD/limited edition 7″ and digital download.
Here is a video of the duo performing the track on British television:
Calvin Harris has taken the track and made it even more dance floor friendly.
