WALKER & ROYCE have returned with their No Big Deal album out now via Dirtybird Records.
No Big Deal sees them team up with Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling artist James Patterson (and 1/2 of the electronic duo The Knocks) for a new single Might Just.
Walker & Royce are back with an anthemic original that is sure to shake up dance floors around the globe. Imbibed with the no-holds-barred style that has made them one of dance music’s most charismatic duos, ‘Might Just’ bursts with hypnotic melodies, bouncy basslines, and James Patterson’s catchy vocals. Reflecting on the trio’s roots as DJs in New York City, ‘Might Just’ blends dark underground sounds with playful toplines and rambunctious energy. They say;
“It’s great to finally release Might Just. We made it with our long time friend James Patterson. We have spent many long nights DJing in the Lower East Side and Brooklyn with James, so it means a lot to have him involved with No Big Deal. We think this one is going to be a fan favorite.”
We caught up with them to mark the release of No Big Deal and asked them to talk us through an inspirational selection of music.
Susumu Yokota – Blue Sky and Yellow Sunflower
I don’t usually like it when people sample classical music but this is just so incredible. Feels like riding a train through the Japanese countryside.
Type O – Negative
No one listens to stuff like this anymore. I put this on and it’s like a breath of fresh air. This was on an old PC game soundtrack (Descent II).
I Don’t Remember
One of our biggest tracks right now, it’s been killing it in our sets!!
vowl. x floatinurboat – dream about u
Just a really beautiful track, very fresh.
Taylor Pierce, Dances – OO La Lee
This new collab between Dances and Taylor Pierce is on our label RDA and we’re very excited to release it. Both Dances and Taylor are on absolute fire at the moment, stay tuned for more from both of them!!
Gerald Finzi – Romance in E flat major, Op. 11
Please don’t skip this one. I went to school for classical music, but I had never come across Finzi before. I found this piece recently and it’s just unimaginably beautiful and heartfelt. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do.
Loofy – Last Night
This new one is on Nervous- one of the first labels to feature us- and is getting the hype it deserves. It goes off huge!!
Jungle Problemz
Jungle’s new album is really good and we have had it on repeat for a while now. It’s hard to pick a favorite but Problemz is just so good. It is the perfect vibe for cruising around
Netsky – Everybody Loves The Sunshine.
This track takes our favourite Roy Ayers track and puts a great jungle beat behind it. Normally this would not make us happy but the way really killed it with this one and is making us feel warm in these winter months.
Walker & Royce – The Tea
Our first drum n bass track! Hope you like- there’s more where that came from!!
