PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

GHETTO BOY / BLUNDERBUSS – 2DB

RELEASE DATE: 19th Aug

For drum and bass lovers, the 2DB name evokes the golden days of rave
delivered with a future-proof production style. And they’ve been
working hard to cement their position as official torch-bearers for
their style. Only this year, they’ve hit hard with the huge “Virus”
from the “Crossfire EP”, “Amiga Man” backed with “Happy Days”, and the
monumental “Break the Walls EP”. While the scene’s still reeling from
that assault, they’re back with this one-two punch of “Ghetto Boy” and
“Blunderbuss”.

First up, “Ghetto Boy”. For anyone who knows their music, the title is
enough to build excitement about this track. We all know Donny
Hathaway’s “Little Ghetto Boy” vocal, and Dr Dre’s seminal use of it
on his 1992 album “The Chronic”. Now, 2DB have taken it to another
level. Beautiful, liquid bass and crisp, seventies-influenced beats
roll under the classic sample, capturing its soul and rewiring it for
a twenty-first century audience.

Then, just in case you thought 2DB had gone soft, they smack you in
the face with “Blunderbuss”. Full on jungle percussion builds and
evolves, underpinned with a driving bassline to keep die-hard ravers
on the dancefloor. This is archetypal funk-filled drum and bass music
that will be an instant get-up-and-skank moment wherever it’s dropped.

This release is another milestone in 2DB’s ever-advancing campaign to
make the old skool new again. If you didn’t think drum and bass
producers could do soul and funk, then these tracks are going to prove
you wrong. These tracks are perfect DJ tools to flip your set between
styles, or to drop on your radio show to demonstrate what true D&B can
be.
