Maria Uzor and Gemma Cullingford formed Sink Ya Teeth in Norwich back in 2016. Their debut single "If You See Me" was an infectious disco punk number which gained them high praise from Pitchfork and a safe spot among both Greatest Tracks and Hottest Newcomers of 2017 here on my blog. Sitting somewhere between ESG, LCD Soundsystem, Bush Tetras and even Kraftwerk ("Glass") the sounds of Sink Ya Teeth are truly eclectic, dancefloor-friendly and most importantly fun! The English duo have a brand new single "Pushin" coming out on 2nd February. The track "is an upbeat ditty that explores the concept of blind devotion to a disco beat" as described by the girls themselves. To celebrate the upcoming release of "Pushin'' ahead of Sink Ya Teeth's forthcoming debut album, Maria and Gemma accepted my invitation to the "Perfect Party Playlist" thread and cherry-picked their favourite gems. I am so chuffed to have you on board ladies!

PERFECT PARTY PLAYLIST by Sink Ya Teeth:
Gemma Cullingford:
1. "Too Many Creeps" - Bush Tetras
This song just gives me the shivers whenever I hear it. I just love the feel of it.
2. "Dancing is the Best Revenge" - !!!
My favourite song from last year. We were lucky enough to see this performed live several times too last year when supporting them. So good!
3. "Bulletproof" - La Roux
Pure feel-good synth-pop
4. "Beat the Clock" - Sparks
Just because.
5. "Theme from S'Express" - S-Express
A classic. Loved it when I was little, still love it now.
Maria Uzor:
1. "French Kiss" - Lil' Louis
Production perfection, no fucking about.
2. "I'll Be Good" - René & Angela
That bass riff gets me every time. A slice of dirty slick soul from the 80s.
3. "Gimme Some More" - Busta Rhymes
Just makes me wanna...
4. "Move Your Body" - Gene Farris
Great to throw your body around a room to.
5. "Step On" - Happy Mondays
Was at a party a couple of months ago and someone dropped this around 2am, and for 4 and a half minutes we all thought it was the best thing ever written!
