House Music for Stripclubs
From the seductive bass lines of the opening track ‘10 Outta 10‘ to the steamy vocal riffs of ‘Body Pop‘ and the soulful flow of ‘Something Real,’ the iconic Dutch duo knows how to create a vibe that evokes the sexy, fun and always hype energy of the world’s best strip clubs and its community. Heaters like ‘Tie Me Up‘ and ‘Little Lick‘ go out on a provocative limb while staying true to €URO TRA$H‘s spirit, blending heavy sounds and unpolished vocals for an authentic underground vibe.
The duo recruited a multitude of talent both on the album and behind the scenes, including working with former strippers and photographers to craft the perfect visual design. Read for all the juicy details on House Music for Stripclubs straight from the artists themselves, and keep an eye out for an exciting tour announcement very soon, which will be the very first official tour of €URO TRA$H.
The artists claim they were heavily inspired by stripclub culture, the dirty dollar bills, the hustle of the girls, and the surroundings themselves. Moreover, they mentioned that the first source of inspiration was their friend OGAQUAFINA when they worked the previous album ¥€$.The duo then explained that their friend was great at the hustle, and also rapped with her duo $ugar Babies.They had a studio day with her that was extremely successful, in which she wrote ‘1F2F‘ on the spot. This track inspired €URO TRA$H into what they wanted the project to represent:
“The fat, groovy bass lines combined with ratchet club vocals are shown in a very unpolished way. Real shit. That’s the kind of house music we love. And love to make. It gave us our direction for what has become our second studio album as €URO TRA$H. ‘1F2F’ went hard in the stripclubs and saw a lot of footage coming from there. If a song is hot in the stripclubs it’s hot everywhere we feel like. It passed the test somehow, you know?“€URO TRA$H
The €URO TRA$H Project
Yellow Claw launched their side project €URO TRA$H in 2021, swiftly establishing themselves as a prominent force in the landscape. The releases of ‘1F2F,’ ‘Dipped in $ugar,’ and ‘B€NZ,’ all quickly became club favorites. The alias itself gives them the artistic freedom their music deserves. Furthermore, they ought once more to make sense of their blend of house music, strip club vibes, and underground warehouse party energy.
