You’d be forgiven for thinking that dubstep is a man’s game because so far it mainly has been. Step forward Maya Jane Coles and Lena Cullen aka She is Danger to re-address that skewed balance.
‘Hurt You’ is a sub-bass skank with both girls singing atop. While the vocals are straight out of ’90s electronica and the lyrics are a tad clichéd, the tune is a bit of a monster. The single is available on download sites from 14th December with an album coming in Spring of 2010.
They’ve also remixed recent blog favourite ‘Under the Sheets’ by Ellie Goulding (who by the way is supporting Passion Pit in March in the Olympia).

Crikey. Everyone wants a bit of Ellie Goulding these days. This year’s Lykke Li?
I think these girls share the same management as Ellie which is how it came about.
