The unique pairing of Dutch-Caribbean duo Shermanology and UK collective Rudimental reunite for the explosive DFTD release ‘Calling / Like A Train’. Hot on the trail of their seminal Defected collaboration with Todd Edwards, ‘Rain’, Shermanology and Rudimental’s working relationship and now friendship has resulted in a series of club-ready records born from love. The two artists have had similar success stories, maintaining credibility in underground circles with both acts achieving crossover success, including BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record In The World for Rudimental’s ‘Never Let You Go’ and Shermanology’s ‘Boyz N Da Club’. The Platinum-selling UK band’s underground, electronic style is a match made in heaven with the eclectic and captivating sound of the producer / songwriting duo on this monumentous two-track package. Opening with ‘Calling’, Caribbean beats combine with ethereal instrumentation built around introspective lyrics that call to mind warm summer nights on open-air dancefloors. ‘Like A Train’ follows, as a chugging bassline supports soulful vocals and motivational spoken word sections, all whetting our appetites for the upcoming festival season.
