Shopping List

We’ve noted how East London’s post-punk three-piece are perpetually asked about political views and thoughts on capitalism, to which they respond with the subject of dancing. That seems like a perfectly natural field of reference for a rollicking band like Shopping, so we asked them to share some jams that make them dance. Dig in to the playlist below and come dance on Monday, 2 May, when Shopping play at Rotown in Rotterdam.

1. Palais Schaumburg – Wir Bauen Eine Neue Stadt

Best dance moves in this Palais Schaumberg – Wir Bauen Eine Neue Stadt video, easily duplicated when you’re next in a club/ gig/ your bedroom.

2. Patrick Cowley and Sylvester – Menergy

Open the doors to that early 80s gay mecca-club in your mind.

3. Lizzy Mercier Descloux – Fire

Killer moves from Lizzy Mercier Descloux on French TV here, some people are just too cool!!

4. Gravy Train – Club Situation

That’s why I wanna dance witcha, Uh-huh. Gravy Train – Club Situation is a clear and present banger.

5. Raffaela Carra – Rumore

For those times you want and need to dance with conviction! Rafaella Carra has got you.

6. Britney Spears – Till The World Ends

This is our jam. Always and Forever, Britney. Till the world ends

7. Bronski Beat – Smalltown Boy

The ultimate catharsis jam! Put this on and dance the anger/ frustration/ sorrow away (or at least keep it at bay for 4 and half minutes).

Over and out.
