"Floating Heavy" 2008

TM Juke (solo artist and producer co-writer of Alice Russell) & Robert Luis (A&R and Co-Owner of Tru-Thoughts) are the joint force which is me&you. The duo collaborated in 2005 to write a one-off track to put in their DJ sets. In the summer of 2006 they were invited to play at Bestival and recorded a couple of tracks especially for their set. After an astounding reaction from the crowd they were inundated with enquiries through MySpace and the Tru Thoughts website so deceided to record a full-length album together.

From start to finish the album reaches out; slapping your auditory senses around the face, encapsulating the listener into a head-nodding, toe tapping dance floor stomping trance that won't let go until the climax taking you on a journey through an eclectic spectrum influences from breat beat, soul, jazz, dub step, broken beat, reggae, disco and drum and bass.

The first single, a double A side 7" with 'Brown Paper Bag' (a reggae cover of the Roni Siez/Reprazent d'n'b classic) and 'The Hoop Loop', has received a number of outstanding reviews and reactions as well as support from Rob Da Bank on Radio 1 and Danny Breaks who describes it as a track "that will never ever leave his record box".

This is followed by 'Sneaker Thief' with its infectious horns and disco, break beat style. There's even a litlle nod to Acid House but with Egyptian percussion being tweaked through the filters on 'Elephant Takeover'.

The album then takes a switch to drum and bass with the Afro influenced 'Wouri River' and then into Calypso drum and bass (!) with 'Last Night'. Look out for heavyweight remixes forthcoming on thse tracks by Redeyes (Bingo Beats) and Benny Page (now signed to Shy FX's Soundboy label).
