This last year saw the release of their first full length album Death By Swing, Banzai Lab (FR.) and featured the single Gingerbread Man on various compilations such as: Electro Swing vol.III, Wagram Music (FR.), Best of Electro Swing, Rambling Records (JP.), and many more…
Their music although very important to the electro swing movement flirts with pop culture and strives to create music for the new dance generation. This explosive combo is a concentration of good spirit and musicality with lots of live action. Step in the ring with the Dirty Honkers and be prepared to be knocked out by their home-made joysticks, game controllers, sax attack and high voltage show.
Hot Style
Dirty Honkers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
everybody needs to hang on to something.
style is our religion, leave superstitions aside,
just make sure its not for nothing.
I'm the priest of boogie tech, my church is so ambitious,
our mission is to make you shake like you've got a heart attack,
ain't it vicious? flows that'll rip open the floor,
make the whole ballroom beg for more.
The lyrics to the Dirty Honkers' "Hot Style" can be interpreted in a few ways, but one possible interpretation is that style, in this context, refers to the way we present ourselves and the things we do to stand out or reflect our personalities. The first line suggests that style is like a religion, meaning that it's something we believe in and follow like a set of rules or beliefs. The next line implies that everyone needs something to believe in or hold on to, and style is one option for that.
The next line invites us to leave superstitions aside, which could mean that the singer wants us to focus on our personal style rather than trying to conform to societal norms or outdated ideas about fashion. The last line of this section suggests that we should make sure our style is meaningful and worthwhile, and not just a superficial or empty way of standing out.
The second section starts with the singer describing himself as the priest of boogie tech. This could be a reference to the style of music the Dirty Honkers play, which is a fusion of jazz, funk, and electronic dance music. The line about his church being ambitious could mean that the Dirty Honkers are trying to push boundaries with their music and create new sounds that people haven't heard before.
The next few lines describe the effect the music has on the crowd, with the flows (i.e. the music) ripping open the floor and making the audience beg for more. The last two lines suggest that the singer is proud of the energy he generates with his music and is eager to give it to his listeners raw and unfiltered.
