Australian duo Yolanda Be Cool today team-up with pioneering Chicago producer Traxman for the release of, ‘Get Down’. Sonically blending elements of house, tech, ghetto, footwork and juke, making for a distinct and unique sound design built for the masses.
For over a decade the Yolanda Be Cool (Matthew Handley and Andrew Stanley) name has become synonymous with dropping instantly recognisable mu
sic. An infectious groove meets their inexplicable knack to write records that sound familiar yet fresh, nostalgic but new. Previous single ‘Now Listen’ via Sweat It Out holding position at #1 on the ARIA Club Charts for seven weeks straight. No easy feat in the competitive global dance arena and overall electronica space.
Their pairing with Corky ‘Traxman’ Strong, a seamless fit. For over four decades, the industry heavyweight’s simple music philosophy of making people dance and have a good time has delivered time and time again. His unique brand strongly rooted in his hometown of Chicago’s rich history of soul, funk, house and ghetto trax. An array of masterful productions and famed DJ sets cementing his status as one of house music’s greatest. His experience, influence, natural capability and resourceful sample flipping seeing him lead the pack at the forefront of three generations and counting of dance music.
Of coming together with Traxman for their latest single, Yolanda Be Cool elaborate, “We’ve always been a sucker for the energy that comes from ghetto tech, hip house, footwork, juke…when we hit up Traxman to see if he was down to collab with us on ‘Get Down’ and he said yes, it was a dream come true…we’re stoked with the end result and have been smashing it all summer.”
