Vandebilt - FEEL — AliveandGigging

Vandebilt are an English electronic funk punk outfit led by multi-instrumentalist Jordan Miller and lead vocalist Joey crack the dawn (Joey crack). Born in Millers studio in early 2018 the band are completed by Jack Wade (Drums) and Daniel Martin (Guitar).

The band draw influence from French house, UK synth-pop and 70s disco and perform their blend of dance music as a live ensemble despite originally recording tracks as a personal project for Miller.

Early demos found their way to producer and DJ Smoove (Smoove & Turrell) who began working with the group and encouraged the project into a live band. Inspired by fresh sounds and high energy, Smoove began to co-produce and mix Vandebilt tracks playing heavily on the disco-house elements of the music.

Live sold out shows quickly created a buzz on the North East music scene and the bands infectious up tempo tracks were both hyped and sought after. This lead to talks with Tipping Point Records and in late 2018 the band signed their first development deal.

The band released a string of debut singles throughout 2019 showcasing a variety of catchy dance bangers recorded in Millers 'Pamplemousse Recording Studio' Sunderland.

UK First single Dream in Colour was released in late March 2019 and was met with great regional and national praise. Second single Pushing Through released in June of the same year plays on a funk-punk moniker and has had great response both nationally and internationally after the track was premiered online with Clash Magazine.

Lovin U and Broken were released in quick succession earlier this year with back-to-back videos that showed off the band's humorous side.

Along with their own releases, Vandebilt re-mixed Plastic Glass’s‘ Let Me Know, instilling the dance floor vibes to a local indie anthem.

Next up, is Summer romance floor filler FEEL which is released today, Friday 12 June and wow this is a real dance groove laden track.

Its brings a real Summer vibe, it’s got gorgeous feel good beats and brings a smile to the face and you just want to dance your socks off.

The melody to this track is just pure dance funk, with its killer grooves and a fantastic vocal from Joey.

I love the catchy chorus that you can singalong too, it’s a simple repeated line “Feel like I’ve waited for you all my life, all my life, Feel like I’ve waited for you all my life, all my life, Feel like I’ve waited for you all my life, all my life, Feel like I’ve waited for you all my life, all my life”.

The lyrics pain that picture of Summer love, I like the opening verse “we break out like the sun through the clouds, we are one we could swim through the sky if you want, we could take another minute, just to take another minute in your arms”.

This is a fantastic feel good track, perfect for Summer barbecues or late night drinks in the garden. Get it added to your playlists.
