Des­pite the untimely demise of their icon­ic pir­ate radio sta­tion, London’s finest gar­age crew, Kur­upt FM, are pre­par­ing for a massive 2021, kick­ing off with the release of their debut ori­gin­al single. ‘Sum­mer­time’ sees the Kur­upt FM boys team­ing up with fel­low UK heavy­weight Craig Dav­id and is out now via Polydor Records. 

 Taken from their forth­com­ing debut album The Greatest Hits (Part 1), the Brent­ford col­lect­ive are ready to takeover post-lock­down raves, fest­ivals and garden parties with their vital sum­mer anthem pro­duced by FRED, MJ Cole and Emmanuel Franklyn Adelabu. 

The sun-drenched bub­bler chan­nels uplift­ing old school gar­age vibes, with Craig Dav­id con­trib­ut­ing his sig­na­ture silky vocals and ad-libs before Kur­upt switch things up for a dark­side flip — treat­ing listen­ers to a verse from the UK’s best bars­man, MC Grindah.  

 “Craig Dav­id is a liv­ing legend and I think I speak for him when I say that we are too,” says MC Grindah, Head Huncho/CEO of Kur­upt FM. “This is the col­lab­or­a­tion that sum­mer 2021 needed and it was only right that we stepped up and provided the vibes. You’re wel­come.” 

Craig Dav­id enjoyed a huge vir­al moment in 2015, when he joined Kur­upt FM on their BBC Radio 1Xtra takeover for Mis­ta­Jam, per­form­ing his UK clas­sic ‘Fill Me In’ over Jack Ü & Justin Bieber’s ‘Where Are U Now’ instru­ment­al. That sparked a tri­umphant return to the fore­front of Brit­ish music for Craig, with the num­ber one album Fol­low­ing My Intu­ition in 2016 and fol­low­ing up with 2018’s My Time Is Now which reached num­ber 2 — between both records he’s racked up over 1.5 bil­lion streams. 

 “Not only are Kur­upt FM liv­ing legends, but they will con­tin­ue to be so for gen­er­a­tions to come!!”, says Craig Dav­id. “Such great guys! I loved work­ing with them and felt inspired in the stu­dio as they really do live for Gar­age Music!” 

 Along­side the new album, Kur­upt FM will be releas­ing the fea­ture film adapt­a­tion of their two-time BAF­TA-win­ning BBC com­edy series in August. People Just Do Noth­ing: Big In Japan fol­lows Grindah, Beats, Chabuddy G, Steves and Decoy as they begin their jour­ney to inter­na­tion­al star­dom, after hear­ing the news that one of their songs has been used on a pop­u­lar Japan­ese game show. 

 “You know me, I can sell any­thing mate,” says Kur­upt FM man­ager Chabuddy G, of the exper­i­ence. “Ice to an Eskimo, halal meat to a racist vegan… selling gar­age music to Japan is water off a duck’s beak mate.” 

 After a dif­fi­cult year for every­one, it comes with a sigh of relief to have Kur­upt FM back, ready to save the sum­mer with the power­ful col­lab­or­a­tion that 2021 needed.
