The Phenomenal Handclap Band

Another cool aggregation of musicians! And this one is dancefloor-oriented and orchestral with tidbits of disco-electro! More electro in the world, you say? Yeah, stop complaining and dance!
At the center of it is Daniel Collás, the Witch Doctor, and Sean Marquand, the Medicine Man; then we have Patrick Wood, Nicholas Movshon, Luke O’Malley, Laura Marin, Quinn Luke, and Joan Tick, enhanced by the remarkable talents of Aurelio Valle, Carol C, Jaleel Bunton, Bart Davenport, Jon Spencer, and Lady Tigra, among carefully chosen others.

Junções de artistas são sempre interessantes e temos aqui uma dançante-orquestrada com pitacos de disco-electro! E essa também pode entrar na categoria ‘Banda com nome engraçadote’.

Zombie Disco Squad

“Zombie Disco Squad are two young Djs from London, well known for their infamous GET RUDE parties and versatile dj-sets.

Já que esse blog parece morto-mas-nem-tanto, tenho aqui na manga uma banda legal. E com um nome meio pertinente à vida do 2MW.

Não consegui infos concretas sobre eles somente que Zombie Disco Squad é um duo de DJ’s ingleses que está fazendo várias festenhas interessantes na Europa e que acabaram de lançar um EP. Descolei, com muito esforço, 2 mp3 pra gente. Minha favorita até agora é Vie! (que tá no EP), que é um house modernete misturado com funk-favela-rio-mc. É sério, já tou vendo a pista lotada:
