EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Streetlab - NYSound

“This is the time for us to get down. What we call this? The New York sound.” That is pretty much all Streetlab offer as a hook in “NYSound”, a magma-bubbling bomb that sounds like Soulwax’s “Another Excuse” and Gorillaz’s “D.A.R.E.” mixed down together and put out on Dubsided. None of those groups are from New York (or America even), and this fidget-disco apocalypse has been blowing out PA fuses across Europe for awhile, especially in Italy and England. But maybe the Streetlab guys go to parties I don’t go to, parties where serpentine bass quashes and a jagged electro-house stutter have commandeered the sound of the city that never sleeps, killing classic disco with one blast of a supersonic laser gun. And while they’ve been shucking out remixes and originals on their website for sometime (including a re-working “Gimme Shelter” and a collabo with the one and only Arthur Baker), Streetlab will drop their first self-titled EP of originals on October 7th. They’ll be doing two live performances this week in support with dudes like Egg Foo Young and Stretch Armstrong, scope the flyers after the jump. Consider this your introduction.

Sounds like: Soulwax, Crookers, Switch
