THE COUNT AND SINDEN UNLEASH HARDCORE GIRLS EP

The Count and Sinden | 18/08/08

Domino is thrilled to release Hardcore Girls, a brand new 3 track EP from The Count & Sinden on 13th October showcases their love of all sorts of club music, from garage to r n’b, from hip hop to grime.

'Hardcore Girls' is the sound of the much hyped Baltimore breaks scene, evolved, displaced and mutated as only The Count and Sinden know how.Fronted by the hottest thing out of B’more since The Wire, 17 year old wild child of the mike, Rye Rye. She has been touring the states with MIA and, now signed to Interscope, she is set to do big things. Her unique and energetic vocal is treated to one of the duo's best bumpy bass grooves and the combined effect is nothing short of devastating.

Another new school talent picked up on by The Count and Sinden is Ny. Bubbling on the UK underground, she fronts the hardcore, jungle inflected soul that is 'Fool In Love'. This is pop music for the now and tomorrow, a classic love song set to a raucous jungle inspired backing track which has become a live favourite over the summer.

Finally we have JME, a legend in the grime scene, known for his tight flows, guest appearances and his 'Boy Better Know' franchise. Industry gives an overview of the pit falls of getting involved in the trickiest of games... The music business.

And who would want to get involved in that shit!?!

The Count & Sinden soundsystem will continue their tour of the best European Festivals with performances at Pukkelpop in Belgium (15th August), The Electric Picnic (30th Aug) and Bestival (6th September) with more dates to be announced soon! Hardcore Girls will be available on 12” and via digital download on 13th October.

Tracklisting is as follows:
1 – Hardcore Girls (featuring Rye Rye)
2 – Fool In Love (featuring Ny)
3 – Industry (featuring JME)

If you're wondering how to bust the moves, here's a super-cute homemade video of Rye Rye geeking along to 'Hardcore Girls' and this girl can move yo.




If you've got even more time on your idle hands, check out this archive video interview with Sinden chillin on the Red Bull Music Academy couch talkin’ in his infectiously likeable, unpretentious style about...

his formative years in Southend, listening to a cacophony of influences Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Native Tongues thing. Jungle Brothers, Wookie, getting into Djing and making music.

All the while dropping some of his favourite tracks from way back and some of his rawkous remixes for Estelle, Lethal Bizzle, Mark Ronson & Amy Winehouse – 'Valerie' remix and The Count & Sinden’s infamous floor filler – 'Beeper'.
