Joe and Will Ask – Guthrum EP by Deadly People
available now: http://bit.ly/dKk0lq
Joe and Will Ask’s second release on Deadly Recordings continues their Viking obsession. Named after Guthrum, the King of the Danish Vikings who ruled East Anglia in the 9th century (yes, including the mighty Colchester) the EP is released the same day that promotion begins, giving fans the opportunity to buy it as soon as they’ve discovered it.
Joe And Will Ask are two young musicians who make dance music. In the past 12 months they’ve gone from strength to strength – they’ve been hailed as this generation’s Soulwax or Chemical Brothers, moved from their monthly residency at Ministry of Sound to hosting their tiny (and rammed) East London underground techno club Vikings to headlining Club NME on New Year’s Eve. They’re also developing a reputation as remixers du jour with treatments for La Roux, Arcade Fire, Paloma Faith, Groove Armada and Japanese Popstars under their belt. Through this they’re quietly working on an extraordinary, genre-binding debut album to be released at the end of 2011.
Beyond all this, they’re two musicians who love dance music. Their versatile DJ sets win crowds over every time with their energetic ability to mix in deep techno, electro, house, pop and indie so seamlessly and passionately.
With peers such as Brodinski, Booka Shade, Zombie Nation, Drop The Lime and Annie Mac hailing them for big things, Joe And Will Ask are set to be kings concurring dance music in 2011.
