“He’s the producer, I’m the vocalist” is probably the best way to describe AC & Dell, a duo from Brooklyn and Atlanta respectively. AC also known as AC Slater (of Trouble & Bass), a globe trotting dance music producer and DJ who’s music is supported by superstar DJs like Moby and Diplo, is the man behind the controls. Dell “o8o” Harris is the charismatic former front man of TKatz (Thunderkatz) signed with Irv Gotti of The Inc Records/Universal. A multi-talented rapper fusing indie dance music and hip hop, Dell has made a home in the underground, rocking parties week after week.

Brought together by a chance remix and brief meeting at a party in Atlanta, the two talked about future collaboration which came to existence on UK’s national BBC Radio 1 when Toddla T asked AC & Dell to put together a remix for a segment on his show. The results were exciting and the reaction was supportive and positive. The two decided to continue in the studio with the goal of a mixtape, which turned into an album of all original material.

On Right Now, AC & Dell invite the listener into their world of late night underground parties, girl troubles, and jet setter antics. Combining the sounds of hip hop, electronic, and indie rock, Right Now features guest spots from Telli Federline of Ninjasonik, Drop the Lime and Megan Thomas amongst many others. The record caught our attention and it’s something we wanted to distribute. So we’ve produced produce a limited run of physical CDs (which are available at our shops) to go along with a digital download of the album.

We’re also trying something new out with this release and distributing it FREE via Bandcamp. All you need to do is input an email address and “Viola!” it’s yours.  Download it, share it, embed it on your blog. Have we ever let you down with a release? I thought not.
