Mad Decent have joined forces with rising EDM stars TWRK.
Titled simply We Are TWRK, duo Benzi and Esentrik;s debut EP infuses dancehall and more melodic sounds together with their much established mid-tempo bounce repertoire.
Features include Lambo, Fly Boi Keno, The Rej3ctz, San Holo and more. You’ll probably be hearing a lot of their Sliink and Green Lantern collab Trifecta (We Came To Party) this summer, as it is being used in Budweiser’s “bud and burgers” campaign throughout the season.
Label-head Diplo had this to say:
“We’ve been supporters of TWRK since their beginnings so it only seemed right to sweep up their first EP. “Helicopter” is one step ahead of their biggest tune to date, “Badinga.” It’s got a vocal drop that makes panties drop and that’s all that you need to know. “Dump It” is a different type of tune for TWRK. It definitely carries that sound but it also boasts a certain type of emotion with more melody and chords than they usually give us. But don’t worry, its still about that booty. After chord life, the boys hit up New Orleans by way of Winnipeg on their collab with Lambo and Fly Boy Keno. “Make It Bounce” is a futuristic nola bounce record that has a global appeal. Finishing off the EP is “Spring Break”, the anthem we dropped back in February on everyone, and it’s been on steady rotation even after all the frat boys and girls left the beach.”
