When I first saw an email from the The Best Dancers in our inbox, I thought it was dance crew hoping to get featured on our Blog. Which would be odd, because we’re not into featuring dance crews on FUXWITHIT. Luckily my first impression was incorrect. It turns out The Best Dancers are actually a dope electro-funk/glitch-hop duo hailing from Portland, OR. After one listen to their new Afterglow EP I was a fan. The project gets started with ‘Ready Now’ a perfect opening track with a slow and enticing build made up of distorted vocals and wild synths. Next up is ‘O Brother (Where Arp Thou)’ a beautiful smooth and summery track with chopped up computerize vocals reminiscent of Daft Punk. ‘Brown Eyes’ packs the most soul and is a definite standout embodying their sexy future-funk feel perfectly. The project closes out with ‘Don’t Save Me (Feat. Up Until Now)’ and ‘Afterglow’. All in all this a great body of work that can be played from front to back. The upbeat futuristic vibe makes Afterglow perfect for bumping while chilling out with friends, taking a drive or getting work done. Stream the EP below and cop the free download here if you’re feeling it.
