Drop the Lime signs to Ministry
London label goes electro-rockabilly
Drop the Lime, aka Luca Venezi, head of New York’s Trouble & Bass label, is the epitome of cool, releasing mutant bass music and looking like an extra from a hip Amy Winehouse video. So, following this year’s Fabric mix, the joint release of single ‘Hot As Hell’ with Ministry of Sound’s Data records signals a step up into the big dick swingers league.
Featuring him playing the lady-lovin’ lead in a rockabilly band the video is filmed, where else, but London’s tattoo dense East End, and remixes from Canblaster, Para One, Will Bailey, Nouveau Yorican (aka Laidback Luke & Gina Turner), VANDALISM, Yolanda Be Cool and Lil Silva ensure it’ll be an inescapable anthem when it’s released on 30th January ahead of his album ‘Enter the Night’.
Check out the promo mix he did for Bugged Out and visit him at one of the international dates below.
