‘Big People Dance’ is the second single from Ed West’s ‘Messages from the Dance’ series. Following the release of the first single ‘A Message from Deemas’, we are stoked to be dropping ‘Big People Dance’. The track is dominated by a heavyweight dub bass line, which sets the tone for Kosher’s angry message calling for good vibes and an end to knife crime and violence.
‘Messages from the Dance’ is a four part series based around two samples taken from a Unit 137 dance in New Cross, where vocalists Deemas J & Kosher both presented passionate messages to the crowd. Their words encapsulate some of the positive messages behind sound system culture, which Ed West celebrates with each tune. The singles in the series each have a distinct vibe but are united by their messages.
To launch the track we’re sharing this new music video, created by Latent Variables, featuring photography from Ellie Bradford, Keifer Nyron Taylor and Titch (Hold it Photography).
2020 has been incredibly hard, and not being able to go to the dance makes it even harder. Ed’s series reminds us of the positivity in our community and the happiness that live music brings. So lock in and listen, stay positive and get happy!
