Mash up the Dance
There’s no denying that this is another summer of jungle.
Drum and bass supergroup Watch The Ride (Randall, DJ Die and Dismantle) bring onboard new-gen star Nia Archives for their clattering single Mash up the Dance. Vocalled and co-produced by the rising junglist herself, Nia further stakes her claim for junglist queendom.
Watch The Ride’s previous collaborations include D Double E and Emz, but this one takes the disco biscuit. Plus, a track like Mash up the Dance makes even more sense when you’re mashed up in the dance.
Out via Rinse FM, the tune’s visuals include historic never-seen-before footage from Rinse itself, with Nia Archives and Geenus (Rinse FM founder) co-directing the video.
It’s homaging to the old but as original as any other nuttah.
Touching on the track’s creation, our WTR trio said:
“Linking with Nia felt great as she represents another branch on the tree from which we all belong to. The cherry on the top is releasing the record via Rinse, it just feels authentic as it’s represented our culture so well for so long.”
