Get Up Feat. Pete Simpson & Soup (Radio Edit) / Get Up Feat. Pete Simpson & Soup (Album Version) / Get Up Feat. Pete Simpson & Soup (Herve Gets Down Remix) / Joy Feat. Pete Simpson / Get Up (Instrumental) GENUINE ARTICLE
The latest slice of good time party funk from Justin and Luke Unabomber under the ELEKTRONS guise, GET UP finds the duo picking up the reins from Basement Jaxx and delivering the feel good dance vibes with effortless panache.
GET UP rides along on a carnivalesque sample sting whilst Pete Simpson delivers the soulful croons and Jurassic 5 rapper Soup lays down smooth sounding rhymes. One of those unavoidable dance hits in waiting, GET UP has all the makings of a massive radio hit written all over it. On the remix front, the HERVE GETS DOWN REMIX injects some dirty grime action whilst JOY features Pete Simpson giving another soulful performance over a slinky funk backing; classy stuff.
BIOGRAPHY
Justin and Luke Unabomber have stepped away from the decks and into the studio as Elektrons. Building on the dirty basement ethos of their Manchester club Electric Chair, Elektrons' forthcoming album is a distillation of the across-the-board phuturustic black music inspirations and dirty, sexy attitude that have always informed their DJ sets and rocked dirty basements all over the world. Featuring UK mic queen Eska sounding like Missy Elliot doing the Saturday night house show on an East End grime pirate, first single DIRTY BASEMENT is both a crunk-house collision of all that's freshest and most dynamic in music right now and a bold affirmation of their anti-bling warehouse party nightlife aesthetic, a call to arms for the weekend to, as Justin puts it: "let your hair down, feel it, get dirty."
