Freshly graduated NYC duo Sofi Tukker (comprised of singer guitarist Sophie Hawley-Weld and programmer Tucker Halpern) started making music in 2014 and went viral in early November 2015, after releasing their first single "Drinkee." Admittedly, the track is infectuous: a compelling techno number infused with South American percussions, and propelled by a (quite literally) mono-note vocal line sung in Poruguese and charged with a synchopation able to move mountains – as in ‘make them dance." Also, we can’t bloody stop listening to it nor prevent our bodies from moving! It will be interesting to see if the duo stands the double test of a 30+ minute live show, during which they’ll have to (hopefully!) reveal a bunch of other songs. That show is already scheduled: Baby’s All Right for January 14th. Mark your Calendars.
