Royalty

By Mandy Rogers

You know how much we dote on AlunaGeorge for their bass trippy, ethereally vocally kissed winning combinations.

London production duo Royalty Chesca and Elliot Yorke have seen a rise up from the underground fronting a similar sound pattern with an added twist of funk.

The duo has teamed up with Sweden’s Kissy Asplund on new release “Eroica” and bring about a heavy squelching bass line that transcends the funk house track into a sensuously dark and rhythmically swaying synth melting pot that with the addition of Kissy delivers a sleek dance funk romp that if Kissy were not the choice vocalist here, I could quite imagine that with shades of  “You Know Me Better” running through it Roisin Murphy would turn this one out.
