U.K. producer TODDLA T comes to the Dim Mak studio at Cinespace to promote the U.S. release of his his second artist album WATCH ME DANCE September 13 on the legendary Ninja Tune label. With WATCH ME DANCE, TODDLA T has created a dubwise, street-soul masterpiece, a bold step forward. His debut album Skanky Skanky was released in January 2009, followed by a Fabric live mix album and a lot of requests for his production skills with everyone from Major Lazer to Grandmaster Flash getting in touch. He already has a slew of remixes under his belt (Hot Chip, Gyptian, Gorillaz, Major Lazer) and recently launched his own Girls Music Label which, after only a handful of releases, has already featured productions by British dance music heroes Sticky, Seiji and Roska. In ensuring WATCH ME DANCE was everything TODDLA T envisaged it could be—for it he carefully selected an impressive lineup of friends, peers and musical icons to guest vocal, co-produce, remix and co-write with him on the album. Names including previous collaborator Roots Manuva, fellow DJ, producer and remixer Skream, Ms Dynamite, Ross Orton, Wayne Marshall, Donaeo, Roisin Murphy and Shola Ama, who appears on “Take It Back,” the album’s first single (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unpcCIisLQ8). The second single impacting now is “Watch Me Dance,” the title track with Roots Manuva (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rw9yeS6nqA&feature=fvsr).
