In order to achieve their 2019 promise to release one single per month.
British duo The Young Punx formed by Hal Ritson and Nathan Taylor just shared their latest music offering entitled ‘Drop It Hard’ via MofoHifi Records.
Created in 2003 out of London’s vibrant underground mashup, bootleg and breakbeat scenes The Young Punx continue to celebrate and subvert the dance music form in their own world where the norms of house, jungle, hip hop and breaks are disrupted by a seemingly random sound-clash of genre mashes and pop culture incursions.
Included on their upcoming fifth studio album,‘Drop It Hard’ fuse the driving pulse of an early 80s new wave live groove break with auto-tune MC toasting. “The vibe of this track was initially inspired by the drum sound of The Police’s Stewart Copeland in the very early 80s… We worked with our longtime drummer Alex Reeves (Elbow, Razorlight) to accurately recreate this rather unique drum sound and feel, and then built a fresh track around it. But the addition of dancehall MC toasting over the solid post-disco groove was the wildcard element that made the track pop and become a beast in its own right!”, Hal commented.
