***"Still Going" is the combination of two NYC dance music leaders-- Eric "Dunks" Duncan of Rub 'n' Tug and Olivier Spencer of Manthraxx and Mr. Negative. Spencer and Duncan met many years ago at the now infamous Rui's Loft, where Duncan spun legendary sweaty late night parties as one half of the New York DJ duo Rub 'n' Tug. Rub 'n' Tug began to take off, and Duncan was soon DJing around the world, releasing mix CDs on Eskimo, Fabric, and aNYthing Records, and remixes for LCD Soundsystem, Coldplay, Roxy Music, and the Beastie Boys. Spencer was DJing extensively and released singles and remixes under several aliases on Fine, Kitsune, Rong, Crack and Speed, and Poker Flat. He also began to help engineer and program numerous Rub 'n' Tug releases and remixes, further cementing the relationship. It was only natural that the two would begin working more closely together, making music. This came about on the "How & Why" single for Rong Music. From there, the duo produced the blissful "Still Going Theme." On the night it was mixed down, James Murphy was spinning at the nearby DFA Records Holiday Party of 2006. James liked the mix so much, he played it right then and there to a roomful of rabid disco fans who cheered for it on the spot. Duncan and Spencer headed back to the studio soon after to record the flipside for the future DFA release --the equally anthemic "On And On." Even before its release, "Still Going Theme" has been hailed by many top DJs around the world and has been featured in Prins Thomas' Essential Mix for the BBC's Radio 1. The track will soon be featured on the upcoming Force Of Nature mix on Mule Musiq, as well as James Murphy and Pat Mahoney's (LCD Soundsystem) Fabric Live mix.
