The Plump DJs have firmly remained top of their game, the recent spate of releases from them only further strengthening their reputation as leaders of the pack. So what better timing than to hand over the controls to arguably their biggest rivals, none other than the consistently brilliant Stanton Warriors.
â??Shifting Gearsâ?? is a stand out track from the Plumpâ??s recent long player Headthrash. Riddled with dj trickery this remix is already creating fever pitch amongst fans, it has fast become a â??must have tuneâ??. A fusion of funk riffs, urgent disco stabs and hip hop vocals driven by one of the Stanton Warriorâ??s trademark basslines. The sweet melodic voice of UK artist Niara perfectly compliments US rapper Raphael Lamottaâ??s peak time style to create something rather special.
In Australia the original album version has already been play listed on national radio Triple J. Now with another bullet in the Plumpâ??s armoury they are set for even bigger success.
On the flip is the extended remix of â??Rocket Soulâ?? which has proven to become one of the most popular tracks from Headthrash. Heavy and epic, positive and optimistic, â??Rocket Soulâ?? has the classic signature Plump sound from start to finish. Reminiscent of their hugely successful â??System Addictâ?? this AA side engulfs us into the depths of the dark side. It spits us onto the dance floor with an ephemeral stairway of light drawing us ever closer into the brilliant minds of Lee Rous and Andy Gardenerâ??s production talent.
