Sheena Beaston:
Ok, first up, I have an admission. The Dirty Disco have been throwing me all sorts of rad tunes for the past 6 months or so. For whatever reason, I always got to their emails/submissions just a minute too late before their tracks were everywhere, and I hate oversaturating an already sopping wet playing field. Today, we wait not.
The Dirty Disco are the self described "lust child of Ziggy Stardust and Britney Spears". Hailing from Guildford, London, the enigmatic and energetic troupe enlists dramatic drums and electropop frequencies to create their blend of acid trippery tracks. Most recently, frontman Adam dropped by with the band's cover of Florence + The Machine's irresistibly lovable single, Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up). Pairing their signature glampop vocals with an enthusiastically dark arrangement, the band covers the song in dirt and disco, and the result is definitely Beaston approved.

Arjan Writes:
The Dirty Disco's cover of Florence & The Machine's "Rabbit Heart" demonstrates how these London newcomers strike a perfect balance between emo-fueled pop rock and '80s inspired synth pop with a theatrical twist. Their music is a bit like Shiny Toy Guns meets David Bowie meets Dead Or Alive. Combine this sound with "more-than-slightly subversive live shows" and what you have is potent package of both style and substance.
The Dirty Disco are Adam K (vocals), Kyle Mackenzie (keyboard), Olly Dexter (bass) Andrew Ignatius (guitar) and Kyle Langley (drums). The London-based group is currently working on their debut LP together with mixer Dylan Dresdow who mostly recently engineered Black Eyed Peas' GRAMMY-nominated "The E.N.D." The Dirty Disco's debut single, titled "Sista!," will drop in the U.K. early 2010.
