UPFRONTBEATS

Closely following strong releases on both Futureboogie and Craig Richards’s Ship To Shore label this summer, PBR Streetgang make their debut on Crosstown Rebels with ‘Shade’, a collection of music that proves there is no stopping the UK duo right now.

“We’ve wanted to make these tracks for Crosstown Rebels for some time now, it’s great to have found the right inspiration and opportunity to get them out of our heads and make it happen. Also we’re so happy to have I:Cube on the remix, he is a musical hero of ours so to have him remix us is a special honour.”

PBR Streetgang are Bonar Bradberry and Tom Thorpe, with a shared history that began in 2003 and swept through residencies at We Love Space Ibiza and Asylum in Leeds, a string of acclaimed remixes and originals for their friends at 2020 Vision, Futureboogie, and Hot Creations, remixes for Bryan Ferry, tours to Japan, USA and Brazil, a month long residency on Rinse FM and still finding time for enjoyment in between.

Prolific French producer I:Cube steps up to remix ‘Shade’, esteemed for his work on Versatile Records and releasing for over two decades. Elasticating synths weave drama into his version, taking the groove and energy of the original title track to new extremes.
