Biography
It?s rare that you hear a record so instant, so instinctive, that you know it?s going to take over the world without even breaking sweat. ?I Like The Way?, by British/Australian duo BodyRockers, is one of those records. An uproarious collision of styles BodyRockers call "rock ?n? roll with electronic soul", it took four hours to make, caused mayhem throughout Ibiza despite only three copies being in existence and netted BodyRockers a five album deal. "If an album takes a year to make there?s something wrong," says Dylan Burns, BodyRockers singer and multi-instrumentalist, in the converted South London crypt he calls home (and work ? it has a studio). "If it feels good, just do it, get it out, and keep your emotions in there. A lot of stuff is over produced and over thought. Ours is raw." BodyRockers formed a mere six months ago, when Kaz and Dylan met in Australia. Ever since vowing when he left school at 16 that he?d never make a penny from anything other than music, Canterbury-born Dylan had spent over a decade in the netherworld of one off dance hits and fly-by-night projects including Coloursound, Essential and Carpe Diem, with whom he had a one off number one in France. Kaz, from Melbourne, was a 22-year-old whiz kid DJ who?d played everywhere from Miami to Tokyo and a prot?g? of house legend Frankie Knuckles. While touring Australia as Coloursound, Dylan was hooked up with Kaz, who would DJ while Dylan was singing. Kaz suggested that as well as singing, Dylan should play his guitar (a see-through Perspex purple [MAKE] straight out of classic-period Prince) over his DJing set. "I plugged my guitar and the musical chemistry was just phenomenal ? we were jamming like we?d been playing together for ten years," remembers Dylan. "The gig went down an absolute storm and there just seemed to be a musical intuition there."
