Kiss and Tell was born 1 year ago for the kids with a mischievous side and a taste for creative music, as the name suggests the night is packed with pleasures sweet as sin that u feel the need to tell everyone about the next morning.
With Kiss and Telling comes the need for proof of the guilty pleasures you experienced, other wise your just a guy or girl with a story……….. so for fiction to be considered fact you need a token, reminisce of lip gloss, a broken belt or the holy grail….. Video footage !! ;) we have it………..
We are pumped to have a DJ SET from JUMP JUMP DANCE DANCE who are the most Blogged artists on Hype Machine website. On February 4, the Hype Machine records Brooklyn experimental rock band Yeasayer as the most blogged musical act, with an electro-pop remix by Alan Wilkis of the band's song "Ambling Alp" making its way around the blogosphere. Their track “show me the Night” is blowing up
It’s unusual for an up and coming band to have a pedigree as impressive as that of Los Angeles electro-rock conspirators Jump Jump Dance Dance. But as it stands, the duo of Chris Carter and Simon Lewicki had amassed a wealth of experience – Carter as an in-demand DJ and vocalist who has played alongside such luminaries of the LA scene as DJ AM and Tommie Sunshine, and Simon as the mastermind behind the celebrated club acts Groove Terminator, Tonite Only and Chili Hifly – before uniting to create Jump Jump Dance Dance.
But Jump Jump Dance Dance isn’t about rehashing former glories, as glorious as they may be. Instead, it’s an all-new beast with its own unique energy and style.
First coming together over a shared love of synthesizers, Australian culture and sweaty dance floors, the renowned studio wizards began to furiously write the blueprint of the Jump Jump Dance Dance sound, exploring and tweaking the happy medium between dance and rock music. Clearly, the pair were onto something special as their first batch of demos immediately hooked Australian imprint etcetc - the home of PNAU (producers of Empire Of The Sun) and Lost Valentinos (helmed by super-producer Ewan Pearson) as well as internationals Mylo, Datarock and The Knife.
Determined to once-and-for-all perfect the ultimate hybrid between these two often-disparate genres, the duo elevated themselves above the electro scene by turning Jump Jump Dance Dance into a fully-fledged, truly organic live band where instantaneous guitar riffs collide with towering synths and club energy.
The duo’s fascination with melding genres carried over to the recording process for their debut LP, which saw them recruit heavyweight US producer/mixers Dave Sardy (the man responsible for records from Wolfmother, Oasis, Soulwax and The Ting Tings) and Mark Needham (The Killers, Bloc Party, 3OH!3), as well as Australian dance industry veteran Sameer Sengupta (a.k.a. Poxy Music a.k.a. Pocket 808, provider of legendary mixes for Alter Ego and Green Velvet) to lend his formidable experience to some final mixes.
The first bolt of dancefloor lightning to impact was the unreleased leaked studio jam, Do It For Love, a blue-eyed slice of funk that has sent hearts swooning across the blogosphere (Bigstereo #1) and the club circuit (“Summer anthem.” Sam La More; “A most excellent project” Goodwill; “JJDD rule my world and will soon rule yours” Mikah Freeman, The Aston Shuffle). But the it’s duo’s deliriously good debut single Show Me The Night which is set to put this band on the map, not to mention their stream of floor-ready remixes for La Roux, Zoot Woman, and etcetc label-mates MSTRKRFT
With their debut album under lock and key for the moment, Jump Jump Dance Dance are preparing to spread the electro-rock gospel to new fans with killer live shows and a slew of turbo-charged remixes on the way. Although it’s still very early days for the band, Jump Jump Dance Dance aren’t wasting any time in showing us all exactly why they’ve come so far so quickly. Expect to get converted any minute now.
