Zapp ft. Tuxedo

Zapp redefined funk with their innovative use of the talk box, dominating R&B charts with monster hits like “More Bounce to the Ounce,” “Dance Floor” and “Computer Love.” Joining them is Tuxedo, the duo bringing a fresh wave of gangster boogie to the dance floor.
Founded by Roger, Larry, Lester and Terry Troutman in 1978, Zapp laid the foundation for West Coast hip-hop, their sound sampled by artists from Dr. Dre and 2Pac to Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. Known for electrifying live shows and a legacy of gold and platinum records, Zapp continues to carry the Troutman spirit forward, keeping audiences worldwide dancing, loving and celebrating the funk.
Tuxedo is Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One, a duo bonded over a shared love of Chic, Parliament and the greater funk zodiac. With eight Grammy Award nominations between them and solo credits spanning Drake, The Weeknd and De La Soul, their combined powers have produced what the Boston Globe called “dance floor catnip” — celebration music built for the party and rooted in the spirit of self-love and self-expression.
