Ursula 1000 - Don't Cheat The Beat feat. activity partners (Insect Queen Music)

8DPromo · Ursula 1000 - Don't Cheat The Beat feat. activity partners (Insect Queen Music)

New York's Ursula 1000, the wizard of the retro/futuro sound, is back with his Single of the Month Club series! Ursula was riding high off the fumes from his chart-topping 2019 album Esoterique, but with the world on pause last year, Ursula got cracking, working his unique continental pop sound for a new batch of goodies. Right on schedule, the new year brings another new song from Ursula 1000's incredible series of new tunes: "Don't Cheat The Beat" featuring activity partners! On their Bandcamp page it says, "activity partners is Jeff Knutsen and Darren O'Brien making funk in Brooklyn, NY". And, so far, they've got three singles of silky disco soul filtered through a smooth FM nu-Yacht Rock lens. When the opportunity to collaborate came to the plate, Ursula 1000 took a big swing. "Don't Cheat The Beat" does exactly all those things just described. All 4 minutes and 12 seconds of this belter are made to make folks sweat on the dancefloor. Ursula brings in a little French Touch vibe to it, too, and as Darren sings, the "120 BPMs got me moving all my limbs!" Give it a spin!

Steve (Fort Knox Five) – “Top of the Pop charts with this one! French yacht rock? Whatever it is, I love it.” DJ T-Bird (Something Else!) – “Nice groove and fun track. I expect to get great feedback from the punters on this one.” Soul of Man (Finger Lickin’ Records) – “Yes! Sounding very Kraak & Smaakesque. Nice vibes.” Velanche (Urban Landscapes Show) – “A really solid and funky groover.” Michael Fossati (Spirit of House Web Zine) – “Groovysexylicious.” Curtiss Logan (Cyberjamz Radio) – “Hot release. Full support on this one.” Jon Fugler (XLNT radio show) – “A perfect reason to dust off those disco slippers. Lovely.”

Available Now From: Bandcamp, Beatport, Apple Music, And Spotify.
