The cover of DJDS' forthcomingLP
Stand Up and Speak .Los Angeles-based producers Jerome LOL and Samo Sound Boy are gearing up to release their second full-length EP as DJDS, titled Stand Up and Speak, on January 29. But today, the duo have decided to share that skyscraping collection of retro-house riffs and reconstructions in full over at the website of their preeminent local radio station, KCRW. The whole record's streaming over a week in advance, and it largely follows on the promise of the ambitiously tweaked tracks they've released from the album so far (and with the string of giddy edits of pop songs they've issued in parallel), distilling the very essences of joy and light into dense dancefloor excursions.Listen over at the KCRW site in advance of its January 29 release on their own Body High label, and for more on the duo read THUMP's recent feature on their search for "Hope in the Coming Apocalypse."
