Tight beats shuffle under monolithic basslines, DX brass pads stab at the crowd, 808 cowbells and sticks ricochet around the room and Isis's cool but slightly unnerving vocals bounce along the top. Thunderheist are in the house, so you better be ready to dance. Rising steeply to fame through an effortless control of the new spheres of cool - blogland, MySpace, viral stuff - the band have injected new energy into the hip hop, house and electro scenes with their blend of sexy future-retro tech-funk.
Having shared stages with
Crystal Castles, The Black Ghosts,
Girl Talk,
Plastic Little,
Boy 8 Bit and
XXXchange amongst others, Thunderheist look set to make a breakthrough next month with their debut album on Big Dada. For now, check out the impossibly cool Eli Escobar mix of "Sweet 16" - pure electro gold.
