The Dancefloor Outlaws are DJs and producers Will Streetwise and Robin Parris, heading at you straight out of the UK’s South West with a unique “ghetto funk” party style aimed straight at the dancefloor.
They’re the perfect outfit to head up Disco Cakes, a fresh new imprint from the people who brought you Hot Cakes, Jungle Cakes and more, pushing those block rocking, house party-pleasing funky sounds at a groovier tempo. On this, their first EP for the label, the Outlaws deliver a quartet of tracks custom designed to get any crowd moving, four genuine sure-shot selections for your bag.
First up, Disco Message borrows from Grandmaster Flash’s The Message but throws those famous vocals over a funked out four to the floor beat, supremely groovy bass and cool guitar licks for a no-nonsense slide into nu-disco territory. Magic Badness splices the classic rap from Indeep’s Last Night a DJ Saved My Life with the guitar riff and vocals from Steppenwolf’s 1968 psychedelic slammer Magic Carpet Ride, while Panda Style follows a kitsch, big beat-style vibe with shades of Propellerheads. The EP is rounded off with a collaboration track as Defkline and Red Polo get in on the action, dropping a UK funky style beat for a powerful reworking of Pharoah Monche’s Simon Says, on the cheekily-titled Simon Steals.
These tracks have been rocking the worlds of DJs as diverse as Krafty Kuts, Fort Knox Five and The Cuban Bros, so you know you’re in for a treat. Samplers loaded and turntables primed, the Dancefloor Outlaws are out to break a lot of hearts and wobble a lot of bassbins. Watch this space.
You can check the EP out on the Outlaws Soundcloud.
The EP will be on sale in all good record shops from 8th November and available on download from December.
