Fcukers - Baggy$$ (Black Vinyl)
If the protagonist of Daft Punks ‘Da Funk’ was walking around the streets of New York City today there’d be one thing playing on their boombox and it’d be Fcukers. Whilst on their journey throughout the Lower East Side they'd probably end up running into members of the band working nightlife jobs as DJs, throwing parties in local bars and restaurants or simply finding the frequency of Manhattan’s beat and locking in. Fronted by the energetic and enigmatic Shanny Wise (previously of The Shacks) and backed by producer/night life DJ Jackson Walker Lewis, Fcukers have discovered their own new frequency where a history of playing together and in other projects has led them to syncing on a singular vision built around 90s/00s house music, tasteful trip hop, big beat, indie rock and everything in between. In their short existence Fcukers live shows have garnered the sort of lore that one can only dream of. From having the likes of Beck and Julian Casablancas attend an early show at New York City's underground Market Hotel to playing Governor's Ball and Portola Festival, selling out headline shows in London, playing unusual venues like a dim sum hall, a parking garage and inside an empty pool, to their upcoming dates opening for LCD Soundsystem's famed run of holiday shows, the band have wow'd audiences across the globe - all in just over a year. Anyone who's listened to standout tracks like "Bon Bon" and "Homie Don't Shake" will understand the cause for this infectiously fast rise and fanfare over a band with under 10 tracks to their name. Much like their storied live shows, this limited edition vinyl is primed to be a once in a lifetime opportunity that will have fans saying "I was there" for years to come.
