Coming on Strong

Bye Bye Baby

Limited 7" Vinyl / Digital: TheAllergies.lnk.to/LeanOnYou

Despite the troubles globally faced in 2020, it’s safe to say that The Allergies bucked the trend and came back by ultimately having a rather glorious year. Releasing their fourth studio album, achieving the ‘A List’ on BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio Eins in Berlin, climbing high in the NACC US college charts, and generally receiving critical acclaim from a world that had an understandable appetite for some joyful and fun music in their lives.

2021 shows no signs of things slowing down. The heat continues for their 2020 album Say The Word with Pioneer, Liptons and IAMS all taking Allergies tracks for their global advertising campaigns. Rather than rest on their laurels, though, the guys went full lockdown creative and have their fifth album due for release in September, 2021.

“Jumping Off” was the first new track from the album to be debuted at the end of 2020 – A self-sampling version of their 2018 track “Main Event”. As with all Allergies tracks of late, the limited 7” release caused a Discogs feeding frenzy.

Now, The Allergies power forward with the first single of the 2021 album campaign – An absolute dancefloor destroyer featuring legend of the mic, Dynamite MC, entitled “Lean On You”.

The Allergies first hooked up with Dyna on previous album Say The Word for the fan favour-ite “Hot Sensation”. But, scheduling clashes with Dynamite’s own album release meant that a single outing for that track was not possible.

No such issues this time round means The Allergies kick off their 2021 album with a serious club and radio contender to move things to the next level.

It’s a stylistic new lane for the Bristol-based beatmakers. Their trademark heavy drum chops now flowing on half time tempos, with blues guitars riffs front and centre. The perfect back-ing, then, for the UK rap legend to find his theme and raise the roof.

The 7” is backed by “Working On Me” – A classic Allergies-style screamer with a taste of funky swamp rock, updated for your favourite dancefloor/kitchen/outside space, with five other people…

Lean on You (feat. Dynamite MC)

7" Vinyl / Digital

Cue The Allergies dusty funk bomb, ‘Love Somebody’, a mix of beefed-up up-tempo grooves and loops, snatches of reworked soul samples, deft scratching, and dancefloor energy up the wazoo.

Love Somebody

The Allergies return with a double bass groove and neck snapping drums, the perfect foil for the L.A. hip-hop legend, Andy Cooper to flip his fearsome rap styles over.

Yes, The Scour has hit its first century already. Thanks to Spinforth and the crew for showing The Allergies and DJ Moneyshot love on the blog since it began. Here's to another oner!

Fat Harry's blurb "All-star funky legends The Allergies generously take the time to whip out a wild cat for their Scour 100 entry. This cat isn’t just wild, it’s livid! My clothes are shredded after it chased me through town. If it wasn’t for the checkout lady asking it if it had ‘a Clubcard or no?’ my liver would have been clawed out right there on Tescos floor. They can smell fear apparently (Tescos checkout ladies and cats), although in this case it might be that my underwear was made of albino jaguar whiskers. Smell the fear, taste the funk!"

As We Do Our Thing

Bristol’s finest -The Allergies, are back with a phenomenal new double A-side with both cuts featuring the instantly recognisable vocal skills of Andy Cooper – one of the brains behind US undergound Hip Hop legends Ugly Duckling.

Rock Rock is the most tongue twisting lyrical showcase you’ve heard since Blackalicious penned Alphabet Aerobics. Andy Cooper’s audacious rap races through an impressive array of language without missing a beat. But his talent doesn't stop at MCing. He co-produced this track with the boys. 

Golden age Hip Hop is order of the day in the second track- Blast Off. With more vocal skills from Cooper, a bouncing groove and dope turntable cuts and samples taking you back to the early 90’s heyday of the genre.

Two future classic cuts in one awesome release that will be available on both 7inch and digital formats. Pre order your 7 inch now! 

Rock Rock feat. Andy Cooper

Well, Christmas has surely come early. Here is a free download for all our fans out there. The Allergies have remixed a cut from Andy Cooper's debut solo album called 'Chasing The Funk'. Dig in and enjoy!

Jalapeno Funk, Vol. 8

Since You’ve Been Gone

The Allergies have developed a reputation for producing dancefloor assaulting 45's that regularly sell out and this release is no different as You Wouldn't Know fuses upbeat soul jams with their trademark energetic breaks driving underneath the catchiest of vocal hooks.

'I just want to get funky for you today' is the opening statement on Special People and that's exactly what they do as this B-side keeps the party going. Supplied with copious amounts of percussion breaks, jazz flute and a sweet bassline in a groove that could make even a statue dance, there is more funk packed into this track than an out of date stilton.

All killer and no filler all the way through on this 7inch so probably best you do yourself and your record collection a favour and sort one out.

The duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat have been delighting dance-floors and lighting up the radio airwaves since forming The Allergies and releasing their debut album in 2016.

Year in, year out, they’ve sharpened their skills on the turntables and in the studio, dropping one dynamite record after another. Clocking up ‘Album of The Day’ gongs, international ad and TV campaign spots, and Radio 6 Music A-list status, the pair show no sign of hitting the breaks.

After consecutive top 40 albums, the boys are getting ready to cut the ribbon on their next, BENEATH THIS SUN. And it’s another stellar showcase for their feel-good funk, soul sampling savvy, and heavyweight hip-hop.

This year they’ll be taking to stages, tents, fields, and cities, supporting the album with their ‘full-band’ live show. But, if you want to catch them in their element, check Moneyshot and Rackabeat cutting up the wax, too, as they take their DJ show to clubs and festivals, far and wide. From Space and Pikes in Ibiza to Glastonbury festival, they’ve shook stages and rocked spots.

So, if you like crazy turntable skills, hands-in-the-air beats, all mixed up with some classy crowd rocking music, then an Allergies double-decking DJ set will be right up your street.

“The Allergies music is big, bouncy and fat! Just how I like my funk” – Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6 Music
