Nobody can tell ya There’s only one song worth singing They may try and sell ya Cause it hangs them up To see someone like you
You gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind music Even if nobody else sings along
It can’t be nowhere The loneliest kind of lonely It may be Just to do your thing is the hardest things to do
You gotta make your own kind of music Sing your own special song Make your own kind music Even if nobody else sings along
And if you will not take our hand Then we must be going, we’ll understand

The Druffalo rave saga continues. This time round the Druffalo Hit Squad travels back to the New York City of the early 90′s, when labels like Nu Groove, Strictly Rhythm and many more dropped several bombs each week on the city’s manic floors, and the according sound was a sample-heavy and stylistically irresponsible mixture of roots in Disco, Hip Hop, Freestyle and clues from worldwide House and Techno proceedings. An overdose of signals both deep and kicking, and a decidedly street approach to structure the madness.
At that time you could even dance to that, whenever and wherever you wanted to.
We sure did, and still do.
How about you?

Bridging the generation gap right here, the Druffalo Hit Squad lends a helping hand with a heads up call to the hopes and dreams of boys and girls anywhere, anytime, anyplace. You might feel disillusioned, disenchanted, shattered, heartbroken, isolated, ignored, left over, left out, misunderstood, mistreated, underestimated, unwanted and unloved. We’ve been there. We suffered. We nearly dropped. But we draw conclusions. And we reached out. And we set in motion. And we found what we were looking for. This is for the survivors…

We’re sorted out for E’s and Wizz, the stereo of the overcrowded Jensen Interceptor heading up the M25 is blasting out The Spinmasters, while the Druffalos either make guestlist calls, read the latest Morley or WSC, sort out which trainers to wear or look nervously on the fuel display. We await 20000 hardcore members in longsleeves in a disused hangar in the middle of a field. We saw the lasers a while ago but we already missed the exit three times, ran out of water and beer, got police on our back, and it’s getting pitch dark.

The Druffalo Hit Squad with yet another hurricane session for the party boys (and girls) who only come out at night. We own your lonely hearts, and we show you images of heaven. Yes, it is love, and we don’t move away from it, darlings. We got the gloves on, we dream electric, and we don’t stand back. Reason? No. Boredom? No. Orchestras? Yes. To a Debussy beat, the city waits forever. It shines like destruction, it lives inside us. We can make you see it. And we think hard about the weather, too. We’re pretty sure it must have rained. We dress for action, and howl at many moons. Who do you love? Is it us? Is this a test?
