Lucas Hunter & Nat Self are ʻZombie Disco Squadʼ the multi-talented production duo that are taking house music in a new direction. Taking influences from Balie Funk, African rhythms, Baltimore, Hip-Hop, the so-called fidget sound and making it sound fresh. You wonʼt find any cheesy gimmicks in their records but what you will find are tracks played by some of the most influential DJʼs and clubs around the globe. Zombie Disco Squad started life in 2006 after putting on nights around Londonʼs pivotal venues such as the The Social and Catch. They made their name with regular mixtapes, which toured the globe via the internet and had a string of internet ʻhitsʼ (10,000 downloads for the track ʻStraight Boyʼ). Influenced by African percussion, foreign languages and jacking music Lucas & Nat were soon traveling around the world touring the states and across Europe. They had touched down in clubs such as Fabric in London, Panorama Bar in Berlin and Hive in Zurich before even having one official single release. Their remixes, on the other hand, have had plays by Radio 1ʼs Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Zane Lowe to name a few.
ZOMBIES SAY YES – Drums, Birdbrain, MC Jesse Rose, Vintage Gucci, Fast cars, meditation, large stacks of cash, Gantman, Cheesy Dutch House, Cubase 5, Hixept, Radio shows, Dogs with small legs but normal bodies, Bicycles, Sound and San Pellegrino, Jackmode and Salad Nicoise.
ZOMBIES SAY NO – Funky going the way of UK Garage, bad warm up djs, cheap production, war, cocaine, band wagon jumpers (still like disco?), distortion, Cheesy Dutch House (can’t decide on that one), dentists, Ryanair, idiots and headaches.
