Bumblebeez
After their success with Grammy winners and Brit Nominees Wolfmother, Mercury Prize Nominated New Young Pony Club and the introduction of Buraka Som Sistema’s explosive world of Portuguese dancehall to London’s club scene – not to mention hosting huge clubnights around the world and even getting down with Daft Punk at Wireless this year, Modular has fast gained the reputation of releasing some damn great music.
Witness their latest assault, the Australian brother sister duo, Bumblebeez.
Some of you may have already heard of the band via their hit single Pony Ride, released three years ago when they were just 20. It has taken that much time to run through the 175 songs that the highly prolific Chris Colonna had dropped off to Modular to make this highly anticipated and eclectic album.
This debut is raw fusion of rock and hip-hop, steeped deep in the drum machines and random samples of 80s B-Boy culture. When top UK producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons, Simian Mobile Disco) heard it, he was straight on the plane to the outback Australian town of Braidwood to work for a month with Chris over vintage drum machines and co-produce ‘Prince Umberto & The Sister Of Ill’.
First single ‘Dr Love’ is skew whiff hip hop meets mogadon romp and has already been given huge props by Radio 1’s Annie Mac. This almost Gorillaz-esque anthem looks set to ignite a blaze of glory all over radio and TV this summer.
A dizzying and imaginative kaleidoscope of colourful influences thrown together with Chris’s manic production and then wrapped up in Pia’s own brand of delinquent schoolgirl rapping – ‘Dr Love’ is the perfect introduction to Bumblebeez.
