Bungalow Collect are back with a groove-heavy reminder of why their self-styled “disco-rap” has been turning heads across the globe. Their new single It Takes 2 picks up where July’s Breathe left off, but cranks the energy even higher — a kaleidoscopic mix of funked-up guitar licks, basslines that demand movement, and flows so effortless they glide over the beat like silk.
Penned around the duality of love, It Takes 2 is more than just a party starter; it’s a track that balances emotion with electricity. The Brooklyn outfit — Rshad, Marcus, Apollo J, and Zay Suav — lean into their trademark fusion, blending the sparkle of disco with the raw cadence of rap to create something as catchy as it is forward-thinking. The single plays like a masterclass in crossover potential, its positivity radiating in every bar, every groove, every hook.
The group’s confidence is palpable. “In the last 10 months, we’ve seen the world react to Disco Rap, with hundreds of comments praising the positive energy of our new genre,” they explain. “So we decided to double down on our innovative sound and make another full project of disco rap.” That ambition rings loud across It Takes 2.
Formed in 2021 after a creative spark ignited in a Brooklyn apartment aptly named “The Bungalow,” the collective has since built a reputation for high-octane live shows at So What! and SXSW, as well as viral success with Tell Me Where To Go, which racked up 13 million views and 8 million streams. It Takes 2 feels like a natural continuation of that journey — playful, magnetic, and perfectly engineered for the dancefloor.
Bungalow Collect isn’t just making music; they’re crafting a movement. And with It Takes 2, they prove disco-rap is here to stay
