Bugz In The Attic release the second single from the inspired debut album ‘Back In The Dog House’, a live favourite and deftly handled cover of Yarborough and People’s 1980 bassline-heavy ‘Don’t Stop The Music’.
Bugz’ combined experience as pioneers of deep and dirty dance music brought a brimming confidence along with the experimentation of their debut, which glistens with stone-cold funk, boogie and disco but remains resolutely contemporary thanks to their immersion in club culture and the broad pool of guest vocal talents at their disposal. Friends, long term cohorts and the studio-jams for which they made their name helped develop the fully realised songs which take the essence of pop to the dancefloor.
For ‘Don’t Stop The Music’ former Boy George and Basement Jaxx collaborator Sharlene Hector was given the task of re-doing a Bugz favourite, and the result is an out and out West London bruk-up twist that takes the basslines from P-Funk, the soul of the original and a certain pirate radio grit and delivers the very essence of Bugz.
Remixes come from Switch and IG Culture. The single is out on 9thn October.
