Crystal Fighters are truly like nothing else around. Like all the best bands, they are an amalgamation of their collective influences and heritages which are combined to create something which is genuinely innovative and original. A bizarre prospect on paper, they mix electronic beats, distorted basslines and piercing synths with traditional Basque folk music instruments and melodies. The result, however, is a joyfully exuberant and chaotic set of party starting dance anthems.
Forthcoming single ‘I Love London’ (video above) is a perfect example of this. It is nigh on impossible to stop yourself cracking a smile and throwing some shapes to its heady combination of carnival-esque percussion, stomping beat, electro bassline and joyful chanting.
You can catch their riot-inducing live show in Room 2 tonight for Kill ‘em All’s 6th birthday party and in honour of this, we have some exclusive remixes of track ‘I Love London’ to give away.
