The Freestylers proudly present their second single "You And What Army" as the follow up to their recent smash "The Coming Storm". Included in the full package are exclusive remix treatments by Marcus Jakes and Manufactured Superstars.  

With the presentation of their previous hit single, The Freestylers not only launched a bona fide assault on the music scene with a unique blend of dub and jungle, but they also announced the release of their upcoming album by the same title "The Coming Storm". Two years of painstaking, hard work had finally paid off: Matt Cantor and Aston Harvey are back with all the hallmarks of a classic Freestylers sound, but spectacularly ramped up for the new era. 

For the single release of "You And What Army", The Freestylers decided to expand from the album version by teaming up with one of the U.K.'s hottest new talents: Marcus Jakes. The Cardiff based DJ/producer, known from his remixes of Animist's "Tin Head" and Kinky Movement's "Loco Love", built up quite a reputation with his exciting synthesis of garage, 2step and deep house. Jakes approached the original from a deephouse/garage, subtly Balearic angle on the old skool tip and tailor-made "You And What Army" for the sun-soaked live sets of this year's season.  

Second act to deliver a remix are the NASA apparel sporting Manufactured Superstars. The DJ/producer duo from Denver, U.S., reaped high acclaim with their singles "Freak On You", "Drunk Text", "Serious", "Silver Splits The Blue" and "Top Of The World" and stun audiences all over the world with their highly reactive DJ sets. The Manufactured Superstars gave "You And What Army" a main room/electro house makeover that will have the party goers pump their fists in the air.  

The Freestylers showcase their versatility as producers with "You And What Army" and once again knuckled down to bring out the best for DJs and the people on the dance floor.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The exceptional project The Freestylers are going to rock the clubs and festivals with an album that will be talk about for years to come and easily will become an EDM classic. The brand new single from the forthcoming single is You and What Army. The extended version is a beautiful retro house style track with light touch of pop. Wonderful vocals performed in the finest way, great lyrics to sing a long and great rhythm will keep you dancing for long with even some rock guitar riffs in it as well. The package includes state of the art reworks and must have for this summer. First of all the upcoming Markus Jakes service a such a beautiful version perfectly in tune with the current deep house/garage revival style that seems to be all over the place and even invades the pop charts as well. With that 90's acid balearic house atmosphere and the excellent vocals that sound like coming from that era will definitely take you back for a nice sexy and funky time trip on the dancefloor. For the more upfront dancefloors our beloved Manufactured Superstars team up with JQA for the full on epic prog house rework that will blow the speakers and get even the fattest ladies and gentlemen dancing, shaking, jumping and feeling young, foolish and happy. So much energy packed in it with raw basslines, pumping basslines, some disco touches and of course the vocal to keep the divas singing on the dancefloor. Peak time version not to be missed. The package comes with dub versions for the non vocal lovers. Pure audio jewels from The Freestylers and Rub A Duck. Love iT!
