Listen: Eckoclick - "Dance With Me" [Premiere]
Rising vocalist FEMME and Slowfoot-signed producer Crewdson pair up for an experiment in sampling, “Dance With Me”.
After writing together at Goldsmiths, University of London, FEMME and Crewdson have decided to put their combined talent into action with “Dance With Me”, which will feature on their debut EP this September. Full of fractured samples and FEMME’s cooly confident croon, “Dance With Me” is a bizarre though alluring piece of chop-pop electronic music that stands completely on its own.
Crewdson, who builds his music completely from the ground up, said: “There are no synths or drum machines used on this record. Everything is entirely sample based, made from sounds that we have recorded ourselves. It’s something I try to do throughout all my work but in this instance I think it gives what is essentially house music, a really interesting and gritty sound.”
FEMME said: “We both come from quite different musical backgrounds with different fan bases. With Hugh being in the more experimental electronic scene and myself operating in more of a pop world, it’s going to be exciting to see who the EP connects with.”
Eckoclick’s 6-track, self-titled debut EP is released on 8 September (12”/digital) via Sonic Router Records. Pre-order here.
