While the electro-hop duo of rapper Rik Rude and producer/MC P Smoov hasn’t officially dropped any new tunes this year, what they have done is unleashed a steady stream of top-notch performances that teased new material and cemented their reputation as high-energy crowd-pleasers. Last years debut Glamour still bumps as hard as the day it dropped, and tracks like Diamond Pistols and The Lazerbeams still never fail to buzz in ears long after theyre heard. Sharing the bill with synth-laced guitar rockers Head Like a Kitewho also have a well-known penchant for the dance partyand 80s-edged popsters Concours dElegance, the Crocs New Years Eve bash is poised to be the place to cut a rug on your way to 2011.
