90s High School student Duke listened to tape cassettes of Speed Garage on his walkman.  His eyes were nearly closed, his limbs struggling to remain still, his lips beatboxing along quietly to the bassline. 

During a class experiment taking apart electronics, he brought his grandfather's old AM radio.  Unbeknownst to the Duke, this radio altho looking nothing more than an antique, had been forever transformed from the fallout of radiation from an atom bomb detonation in 1945.  As Duke plugged in the radio, a freak accident occurred.  Suddenly there was a spine shattering crash and a blinding light. 1.21 jigowatts of electricity was unleashed causing a rift in the space-time continuum, and the young Duke was transported to a parallel world, one where the past, the present and the future were all merged.  

Back from his journey, the Duke is ready to unleash his Future Swing Time Machine on our world.  On this single 'Simon Says', LA-based Duke Skellington teams up with London MC Hypeman Sage for this no-nonsense lesson in Bass House.  Hypeman Sage wastes no time showing us how filthy he can get spitting lyrics over the Dukes brass-driven bass house.

Goat lovin' producers from the shires of Somerset, bringing shite remixes and out of tune opera to a bus stop near you!

"Duke Skellington" is an artist and producer spinning on the forefront of the global "Future Swing" music movement. His style is a synthesis developed from pioneering electronic music like (insert dope classic drum and bass that shaped you here), dance-heavy big-band swing & hot jazz from the 1920’s and 1930’s, and lo-fi avant-garde soundscapes that lift your mind to the clouds. The result is a unique experience of music that unites the past and future. Duke Skellington fashions music for the uninhibited dancing soul that lives and loves in the present moment.

Duke Skellington is the music producer for both the Vaude Villainz and Duke Skellington music projects. The Vaude Villainz recent record “Voodoo Swing” was released in early 2017 with Ragtime Records and was #2 on the Beatport top selling Glitch Hop albums. The Duke Skellington "Devils, Dames and Debauchery" EP is dropping with Ragtime in 2020, and will be expanding on his signature futuristic and vintage music sound. He also co-hosts an Electro Swing Podcast called “Jitterbug Jukebox”, and is part of the label boss team at Ragtime Records. From Los Angeles to London, Chicago to San Francisco, put on your sexiest ensemble and find Duke Skellington chopping it up on a dance floor near you. Let’s go swing cats!

DJ Buba & Jason King were sent to listen to music crimes they didn’t commit. They promptly escaped from a commercial seaside town to the dance music underground. Today still wanted by the public, they survive as DJs of fortune… If you have a party, if none else can help, and if you can find them…Maybe you can hire…. BUBAKING!!

Bubaking like to mash it up in their unique  “Anything goes'’ Stylee adding a cheeky Old Skool twist for good measure .
