Drop The Limes new single is set for the Aus release and will be touring throughout April. The new track entitled 'Hot as Hell' is at first glance an unlikely pairing of rockabilly and dance music. However they both have roots in seedy clubs, smoke-filled back rooms and accompanied by masses of distinctively dressed people moving to the propulsive beats. So although the two sounds may be aurally different Drop The Lime has combined the two nightlife youth culture genres into a rhythmic mix styled with pounding bass.
The New York bread Luca Venezia, aka Drop The Lime, was brought up listening to the likes of Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and Richie Valens, and learned to play guitar and sing from a young age. Like every punter out there he wanted to be a rock star. Fast-forward a few years and a love affair with club music began - drum'n'bass, jungle and 2step garage - then moving to Berlin he was immersed in house, techno and the never-ending warehouse parties the city is known for.
Drop The Lime is spearheading a new sound. Is it Electrobilly? Rockabass? Who knows.. but one thing's for sure - we're all dancing to it! The new single 'Hot as Hell' has been remixed by Canblaster, Para One, Nouveau Yorican (Laidback Luke & Gina Turner) & Australia's Andy Murphy & Yolanda Be Cool.
