UK dance music dons Hot Since 82 and Rudimental have linked up on new single โBe Strongโ, out 16th October.
Combining infectious tech house grooves, seductive vocals and a rave-evoking acid house bassline, โBe Strongโ is a versatile, UK-flavoured dance cut destined to make a big impact on dancefloors. The link-up is the result of Danny Howardโs โLockdown Link Upโ, where the BBC Radio 1 tastemaker encourages producers to make remote collaborative tracks that he then premieres on his show. โBe Strongโ will also feature on Hot Since 82โs forthcoming album Recovery, out this autumn.
On the collaboration, Hot Since 82 explains: โItโs a pleasure to work with the Rudimental lads, music to me is about collaborating, having an open mind and trying new things. Weโve taken a house beat, twisted it upside down and come out with something that really resonates with us all. We love it!โ
One of the most revered artists in underground dance music, Hot Since 82 is a regular at some of Ibizaโs finest clubs and runs the highly influential Knee Deep In Sound imprint. Recovery follows 2019โs acclaimed โ8-trackโ, which Daley described as โa deeply personal record that reflected a challenging time in his lifeโ and has amassed 25 million worldwide streams to date.
One of the biggest-selling UK acts of the last decade, Rudimental have two UK #1 albums, three UK #1 singles and over 1 billion Spotify streams to their name, as well as a long list of accolades that includes a MOBO for Best Album (โHomeโ) in 2013 ย and a BRIT Award for Best British Single (โWaiting All Nightโ) in 2014. Recently, theyโve worked with everyone from The Martinez Brothers to Preditah, as well as breakout UK rap star Tion Wayne and long-term label mate Anne-Marie on their latest single, โCome Overโ.
With two of the most respected names in British dance music joining forces in the studio, itโs little wonder that โBe Strongโ is so special.
