What their label says...
Rowdy nights consist of sub-heavy dive bars, sticky dancefloors, backflips off the bar, smoke filled limousines, and dancing on a rooftop 6am surrounded by peach-colored city skylines. Ready or not, Drop the Lime's "We Never Sleep" is a headfirst dive into hyper New York City and its creatures of the night. Expect four-to-the-floor funk spiked with Grime and growling bass Techno, a fury of gritty club bangers dripping with romance and italo-punk attitude. 'Wake Up Call' opens the album with a bomb of 4x4 intoxicated Dubstep. Over the millitant beats and bass, Venezia's voice seduces the listener, and then quickly snaps the track into a shake and break booty frenzy with guest vocalist, Minty ("Glassy Eyes',""This Means Forever,"). Tracks like, 'Triceratops,' 'E-Lock,' and 'Hotsauce Grillz,' are heavily influenced by Venezia's 6 months in Berlin, and UK tours, playing parties like Bristol's Toxic Dancehall and London's Bang Face. The driving force of the bass and drums flirt with one another, rising in infinite tension and release. 'Full Moon Rising,' 'ButterScotch,' and 'Coal Oven Fevers,' are Venezia's first true verse-chorus-verse structured pop songs. Still heavy on the dancefloor, these tracks are what makes "We Never Sleep" more than just an album directed towards DJ's and club heads. Strings, and horns contrast pounding rhythms while old soul and doo wop samples add mysterious life to the electronic sound. Between the dark grime and dangerous techno, Venezia's romantic vocals stake his claim as as NYC's new bad boy Sinatra. Responsible for throwing the infamous Bangers & Mash Grime parties with Shadetek in New York City, DTL has helped introduce the UK Grime and Dubstep sound to US audiences. He has thrown down unforgettable live and DJ sets at Cut crew's Dirty Down, Dave Q's Dub War, Konkrete Jungle, and a number of epic Rothko events in Manhattan. "Shotgun Wedding Vol. 4," his latest DJ mix CD, w/ Syrup Girls, powerfully captured the rising sound of underground bass music in 2006. Put on your gully grills, and gnash your teeth till your thizzy face foams, DTL's got your subs growling and this night is going to last forever. Do not sleep on this one in 2006.
