#songoftheday / LOVE IS POP PREMIERE: Ooberfuse – “Different Drum”

We are thrilled to offer our readers/viewers the premiere of the video for “Different Drum” by Ooberfuse, an insanely-talented new duo who’ve already been featured by the BBC’s Tom Robinson on Introducing (http://freshonthenet.co.uk/2013/08/mixtape20130819/) and on Ministry of Sound by Sister Bliss of Faithless (http://www.mixcloud.com/artist/ooberfuse/), two very influential taste-makers.  In our opinion, “Different Drum” is one of the year’s most original and infectious new EDM tracks.  We also love its inspiring message.

Ooberfuse is an electronica band hailing from Woolwich, London.  The band consists of Hal and Cherrie, joined with producer Kinky Roland.  They’ve played as a warm up act for the Pop in the world’s biggest youth festival in Madrin, Spain to a live audience of 2 million.  They’ve also featured North Korea’s only known gulag escapee on their single “Vanish The Night,” which they performed live in the House of Lords.  More recently, they were selected to be part of a 20 date tour of UK universities called the Coffee House Sessions, which was curated by Radio 1’s Huw Stephens: http://www.coffeehousesessions.com/artists/13.  They’re also piling up a list of celebrities fans, including Boy George: “Hey I love your version of ‘Turn To Dust’ its very cool and quirky.”  Suffice to say you’ll be hearing a lot more from Ooberfuse during the coming months.  Just remember where you saw their video for “Different Drum” first!

“Different Drum” will be released on July 28th on Peak Flow Records.  To purchase, go to: http://www.ooberfuse.com
