Oh My Rockness

NYC dance duo Tanlines is the new let's-get-this-party-started-right-quick project from Jesse Cohen (Professor Murder) and Eric Emm (Don Caballero, Storm & Stress, Free Blood).

Using computers, drums and a guitar, Tanlines expertly lay down the techno thumps and jungle-meets-Caribbean-meets-Brooklyn rhythms to create something seriously fun to dance with your friends to. Imagine if cruise ships weren't totally lame and you went on one with a bunch of hot people who liked beer, Trivial Pursuit and Frisbee. This is the music I would want to hear blasting on deck as soon as all the hot people and I enter the warmer waters of the greatest vacation of our lives.

Besides beating up and sampling down their own songs, Tanlines has done a lot of rocking remix work for bands like El Guincho and Telepathe too. You should check them out. They make winter feel a tad more bearable.
