Bobby Love Releases Smooth R&B-Influenced House Track “Drink About” Featuring Zanski
Canadian DJ and producer Bobby Love made his mark on the dance music world with his popular single “Still,” and now he’s back with another irresistible R&B-influenced house track titled “Drink About”. Bobby teamed up with Zanski for the track, who shares his affinity for R&B and unique productions. Their collaboration resulted in lush, deep basslines peppered with drums and piano melodies overlayed by characteristically sensuous vocals. “Drink About” was almost scrapped in the studio, but Bobby and Zanski spent countless hours reworking it until the perfect combination clicked and made this catchy, groovy jam. “Working with Zanski was super fun and felt like a true collaboration,” says Bobby Love. “It’s cool to listen back to the song, I feel like you can pin point each of our influences on the track. Thankfully we both had a lot of similar tastes and influences which I think made the collaboration so natural.” True to Bobby’s style, “Drink About” is hard to pinpoint from a genre perspective, and it’s just another example of how he is among the artists paving the way of the burgeoning experimental electronic music movement.
Bobby Love is the newest talent emerging from Toronto’s dynamic club scene; he cut his teeth performing at the city’s top venues including The Hoxton, Maison Mercer, and Tattoo. He began to build a reputation for his unique production style and enthralling live sets after opening for renowned DJs Klingande, Wankelmut, Bakermat, Danny Howard, and Hannah Wants. Bobby caught the attention of the global electronic music scene when Armin van Buuren’s imprint Armada Deep released his track “The Way You Look,” and ever since he has been on a steady rise. His last single on Physical Presents, “Still” featuring Ben Stevenson, experienced immense viral success – it was premiered on the Huffington Post and was featured on over 25 music media outlets, including #3 on The Hype Machine. Look out for more new music from this rising star in 2018.

British duo Duke & Jones are back with another House release that speaks for itself in the form of “Program,” a minimal percussive track with multi-genre influences. Opening with a strong dose of kick drums and a chopped soul vocal riff that continues for its entire duration, the new single also brings in grungy basslines and tribal instrumental aspects. With a lot of groovy and rhythmic elements, “Program” places its focus solely on the house beats, making it feel like you’ve stepped into a dark, secret warehouse rave. Duke & Jones had a viral hit in the form of “Jiggle Jiggle” with Louis Theroux, but are now back to their first love in producing house music. Read on for their inspiration behind the new track.
“For as long as we’ve been producing, we’ve always loved to make super minimal, percussion-led drops. ‘Program’ takes this classic Duke & Jones aesthetic and spins it into a warehouse-flavored house tune, built around soul vocal chops and West African talking drum samples.” — Duke & Jones
Duke & Jones have always been destined to be the “producer’s producer,” having been friends their entire lives and producing since the young age of 12. Their philosophy has always been to let the music speak for itself; they don’t need record labels or huge co-signs to make an impact in the scene–in fact, they were the first musical act to release an EP on OnlyFans, where they received homepage placement and full social support for comic ASMR edits. The duo is adept at working social media to their advantage; their TikTok series has become a global sensation, and their Youtube channel is full of hilarious content. Last year, their viral hit “Jiggle Jiggle” with Louis Theroux, which started as yet another joke, earned them a number 49 spot on the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart. The track also became an emote on Fortnite and was shared by Megan Thee Stallion, Shakira, Jimmy Fallon, ROSÉ (from Blackpink), Snoop Dogg, Anthony Hopkins, Rita Ora, Coldplay, and more. With an array of talent that goes beyond just producing music, Duke & Jones are certainly ones to watch.
