Tell your folks: DON’T TALK TO THE COPS! DtttC’s deadly dance punks djblesOne and emeckscut loose, deep and wide with razor sharp moves and pointed pop sensibilities. Their sound is informed by pop, electro, punk, soul and hip-hop, with songs that are crazy catchy and melodic—hard to pin down, but very easy to dance to. On stage the group blend chaos and choreography—jumping, flashing, bugging out—whipping the audience into a grinning, dancing frenzy.
djblesOne is an accomplished dj/producer whose influential productions and DJ mixes have helped shaped the last decade of b-boy culture. His partner in crime, emecks, clocks in at only half his height but her larger than life style and pro dance moves bring outsized attitude to this dynamic duo. Their combined dance vision is abetted by hype man El Mizell, providing backup vocals and pops of energy to an already tight live setup.
Since unleashing their first album in March 2010, DON’T TALK TO THE COPS! have been all over the map. Notable performances include the Capitol Hill Block Party, Doe Bay Fest, Reverb Festival and City Arts Festival, along with house shows, fashion parties, mainstages and other festival appearances. The group just released their second album, Let’s Quit, on Greedhead Music. They plan to make love to your ears, eyes, and feet this year, so get ready.
