‘Rock It’ by Ofenbach injects a strong spirit of rebellion through the ears.
The French pop / grunge style production is edgy and sassy to thrill your
senses. You're my ecstasy, I'm your remedy. The combination of a sexy
female and a rough male vocal add to the saucy, scandalous nature.
Everybody, let loose.
Paris duo Ofenbach have become a global proposition after releasing
just a handful of tracks. Now Ofenbach build on that huge attention with
a double-shot of new releases: the new single ‘Rock It’ together with
their self-titled debut EP, both of which are out now.
Always eager to infuse their electro productions with the propulsive
energy of a live band, Ofenbach present a new take on the formula
with ‘Rock It’. Its tight grooves and addictive vocal-focused hook create
an unconventional blend of funk ‘n’ roll. Think Chic filtered through The
Stones for the Spotify age.
‘Rock It’ is one of five brand new tracks that feature on the band’s debut
EP. That melding of electro and rock is further explored with two of the
EP’s other highlights: a collaboration with ‘Feel It Still’ hit-maker
Portugal. The Man on ‘We Can Hide Out’, while ‘I Got Burned’ finds the
duo teaming up with modern funk icons The Bamboos.
The EP is completed by Ofenbach’s three biggest hits to date in the
shape of ‘Katchi’, ‘Be Mine’ and ‘Paradise’ (featuring Benjamin Ingrosso),
which together have amassed hundreds of millions of streams already.
Ofenbach are two 24-year-olds, César du Rummul and Dorian Lo, who
have been friends since school César is a classically trained pianist and a
hobbyist drummer, while Dorian sings and plays guitar. They played in
numerous bands together, but discovered a passion for synths and beats
while studying at film school.
They initially wanted to create a new take on French Touch to reflect
their admiration for the likes of Bakermat, Daft Punk and Justice. But
after remixing Bob Sinclar, Clean Bandit, Portugal. The Man, Bebe Rexha,
Robin Schulz they revaluated their sound. By infusing their love of The
Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes into their club-ready
style, they discovered a sound both fresh and immediately accessible.
