Song:
"We just want people to have fun and enjoy life," says League510 on the message behind their latest track, "24hr Fitness." And while the sentiment fits the track, it could just as easily be the group's mantra. While the group, comprised of TK, Monty, Knowitall, and Blacksmith, all find time to get introspective, the Bay Area crew carries an air of feel-good wherever they go, and this latest track is just another example of what makes the League special.
Following the release of "Never Change" last week, "24hr Fitness" offers listeners another great example of the Town Techno sound. "This Is Town Techno 100%," explains TK before offering a somewhat unconventional but apparently effective inspiration for the track: "The song came to us as we were vibing to the beat fist pumping in the studio getting hyped." For those still unfamiliar with the Town Techno sound, the thumping drums, warbled bass lines, and layered synth lines should clear up any initial confusion. From there, the song builds, with various synth lines coming together over the club-ready back beat before hitting its apex, as the chorus hits with the League's boisterous chants, "Look at shorty over there – she getting it, she getting it/ Sweating her hair out, 24 hour fitness/ Girl you make me want to give you the business/ So meet me in the bathroom if you with it."
League510's Believe In The League EP will be available this March.

Background:
Emcees TK, Mont, Mr. Knowitall and DJ Blacksmith better known as League510 are pioneers of a sound that is all their own, Town Techno. With a sound that is out of this world, League510's musical journey began in a galaxy far away from ours. After traveling the universe for years, they entered our galaxy and our planet shortly thereafter. With sights on our world, the quartet chose to land in the hills east of Oakland, CA. After hiding their ship deep in the hills they approached this new town with great curiosity and were immediately amazed by the vibrant culture that they found. Adopting the Bay Area scene as their new home, League510 wasted no time in beginning their new musical journey here in our world. Using advanced abilities, the four emcees quickly mastered the art of sound and gave birth to Town Techo, a form of music that would unite the people in heightened awareness; to show them to take action, to appreciate the fun in life, to believe in themselves and to believe in The League.
