Podcast 110: Zombie Disco Squad

• Words: Shawn Reynaldo

Earlier this week we peppered the boys of Zombie Disco Squad with questions for our weekly Inbox feature. While that displayed Lucas Hunter's and Nat Self's lighter side, we figured the only way to really showcase their hip-hop-flavored and tropical-tinged house sound was to enlist their DJ services for the XLR8R Podcast series. Much like the London duo's oft-spun releases on the venerable Institubes, Dirtybird, and Made to Play labels, the mix finds the guys going heavy on percussion and always keeping things upbeat. Perhaps that's why Made to Play boss Jesse Rose has made Zombie Disco Squad the resident DJs at the Made to Play night at Berlin's Panorama Bar and tapped them to put together a mix for his upcoming two-disc label compilation, Playing Around Again, which drops next month.
