Walker & Royce make their debut to Rules Don't Apply with two massive collaborations with Mindchatter and VNSSA. Gav & Sam have been busy lighting up stages and night- clubs all over, and they've finally had a moment to deliver something for their own label... it’s definitely worth the wait.

Leading the release is "Same Way Down" featuring Mindchatter.. It's big, dreamy, and gleaming with Mindchatter's distinct, emotive, and sonically progressive vocal styling.

Following is "Outer Space" with the one & only VNSSA. This colab is a match made in the cosmos with its rubbery acid line & VNSSA's vocals chopped at the speed of light. We're all just lost in Outer Space, but this EP will bring us back to the dance floor.

JUST WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS

At Splash House 2018, Walker & Royce played their rework of a Dances With White Girls demo called 'Skinny Dipping'. Since then, the naughty party anthem has become a prime time staple in nearly every Walker & Royce set, leaving fans & DJs alike ravenously begging for its release. Consider this your guest list spot to the raunchiest pool party you could ever imagine. Take off your clothes and jump into the freaky gender bender that is 'Skinny Dipping.'

Skinny Dipping

Dances With White Girls - Skinny Dipping (Extended Mix)

Walker & Royce have defined their career with three simple words: Rules Don’t Apply. This ethos is reflected in their genre-straddling studio output, and in their eponymous radio show, which puts other risk takers on display. Now, Walker & Royce take Rules Don’t Apply to new heights with its new record label. The Splits series offers two singles from two artists that are paired and released as an EP. A nod to DIY punk bands releasing split 7-inch records, RDA aims to keep that collaborative spirit alive.

On "Animals", Walker & Royce and Ardalan form like Voltron to deliver a primal banger lathered with growls, thick lasers and searing synth licks. The track kicks off with an escalating progression, driven by a reverberating siren and nuanced whistles. “Animals” is more sample-driven than typical W&R releases, influenced by prodigal production up-and-comer, Ardalan. The collaboration embeds the feeling house lovers are eager to explore in the late hours - energizing listeners and dance floors to keep pushing.

On "When Will I See You", we witness yet another perfectly balanced collaboration from VNSSA & Lenny Kiser. Their memorable & iconic bass line is brilliantly complimented by Neon Super Black's vocals. The track charms with melodic elements and Arps, but channels a harder, driving energy.

VNSSA & Lenny Kiser - When Will I See You feat. Neon Super Black  [This Song Is Sick Premiere]

Welcome to the second installment of our double-single series, Splits!

This go around, we call fresh-faced club wizard Luke Andy & Canadian nightlife messiahs, Smalltown DJs to the podium. Since both of these tracks are rooted in emotion, we wanted to allow our guys to illustrate the intentions behind their sonic tableaus, in their own words.

Luke Andy
"This track was created during a time when I was experiencing romance in my life, and I wanted to capture the essence of Oxytocin, which is the hormone released in our bodies when we fall in love. I combined a driving bass line, and a disco-inspired groove that helped me capture this vibe. This combination resulted in “Love Drug”, and it’s easily one of the tracks I’m most proud of (so far!)."

Smalltown DJs
"Seen You Before” was designed to take the dance floor on an emotional flow that releases in an optimistic wave at the very end. We had the chance to test the track on Good TV’s Twitch streams to some very positive feedback. It was inspiring. Then to see auditory admirals Justin Martin and Walker & Royce play it in live sets was a big highlight for us. We’re very excited for this song to officially come out, especially on Rules Don’t Apply!"

We know you'll fall in love with these tracks, just as we did <3

Your's Truly,
RDA

Seen You Before

Smalltown DJs - Seen You Before

Following her performance at Dirtybird CampInn as part of the Rules Don't Apply Takeover, 
Brooklyn's sweetheart QRTR makes her RDA debut with the dazzling & euphoric "Snowfall".
With a sound all her own, QRTR pulls you into an icy soundscape with sputtering percussion, 
wispy longing melodies & a haunting vocal sample sliced up into fragments- each as unique as a snowflake.
Supporting the original are remixes from the legendary Justin Martin, LA's analog icon Maude Vôs, and fellow Brooklynite 
Slug Father (of Supertaste fame). 

Bundle up and prepare for the Snowfall EP!

Taylor Pierce makes his RDA/world debut with the infectious bopper "Need Some More" featuring Fubu Q.

"Need Some More" comes out the gate with a strong nod-factor. Punchy, crystalline drums are decorated with hi-fi bloopy fragments. The bedazzled musical bed is then further enhanced with groove-heavy vocals from Fubu Q, who's weaving cadences compliment Taylor's modest yet masterful arrangement. 

We at RDA are proud to be a part of this new chapter.
Everyone say hello to Taylor Pierce!

Need Some More feat. Fubu Q

Taylor Pierce - Need Some More Feat Fubu Q

Behold… Walker & Royce and Glass Petals (Felix Cartal & Johnny Jover) blend energies to birth a colossal collaboration.

 On “Stop Time”, Elohim’s vocals glide atop a dynamic & crafty sonic landscape styled by Glass Petals & Rules Don’t Apply label bosses, Walker & Royce. Already gaining massive support from Chris Lake & Fisher’s epic closing set at Coachella, as well as Dom Dolla & Vintage Culture at Ultra Music Festival, “Stop Time” is on it’s way to anthem status- but the proof is in the pudding, not only in the DJ support.

 Masterfully paced melodies & crystal clear synths cushion your brain while Elohim’s lyrics hit your spine like a cold shower sending waves of longing excitement in every direction. What would it feel like? It feels like Walker & Royce and Glass Petals got it right on the drop, which sounds like Godzilla cutting through a submarine with gigantic rusty shears. Mid-way through the track, mature wubs & bubblin’ subs compliment the lingering main-melody, preparing you for another cataclysmic burst of synthesized weaponry.

Welcome to the 7th dimension of perception where time is irrelevant.  This is “Stop Time”.. feel free to drift around..
