“Growing up on the south side of Chicago, it was common to see some form of the growth and development organization’s mantra ‘til the world blow’ scrawled on the city’s walls. An acknowledgment of the finite and a charge to live accordingly; unapologetically.  As an adult, the fear of mass destruction has gone from a metaphor of a past nuclear era, to the tangible threat of hatred and terror.  Yet, the call remains the same: do you, til the world blow up.” – Dave Giles II

Brooklyn based duo Dave + Sam make their Classic Music Company debut with ‘Til The World Blow Up’, featuring Chicago legend and fellow Classic label-mate Mike Dunn. A call for unapologetic expression, ‘Til The World Blow Up’ is an evocative dancefloor groover that aligns perfectly with Classic’s catalogue of evergreen dance music, and offers a preview of their forthcoming album ‘No Shade’. The release also features two remixes from Mike, where the house music frontier interweaves his unique genre-bending style to produce two club-ready cuts.

While the initial recording of Til the World Blow Up was a reaction to the institutional and systemic violence proposed by fascist movements such as Make America Great Again and Brexit, its visual is the result of those ideas realized. Amid civil unrest following theunlawful murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and too many other Black lives, turned hashtags at the hands of the police; the global economy has also been rocked by a health pandemic of historic proportion, all of which has brought upon significant societal change. Though fear, mourning and financial woes mount, our creativity and expressions of solidarity have shone brightly via social media and connected the world — perhaps more so than ever. If Hip Hop was historically seen as the CNN of marginalized communities, House was certainly its heartbeat. Through director, Blake Symphony’s take on that metaphor and the Chicago-centered collaboration of Dave + Sam & Mike Dunn — we plan to keep that same energy.
