Following in the footsteps of the 2009 campaign which saw Rage Against The Machine‘s ‘Killing In the Name’ become the UK singles chart Christmas #1, London acts DE$iGNATED and TÂCHES have started a Facebook group with one goal in mind: to make Boddika’s VIP edit of his and Joy Orbison’s blistering ‘Mercy’ this year’s victor.
“We know it’s a long shot, but with enough support and if we can raise enough awareness through every avenue possible, I’m sure we can succeed… I’ve heard that there’s a new band that could give us some competition called X-Factor but they sound shit anyway. Probably another boy band.”
The movement already has one major supporter: Skream who has pledged to “give every track [he’s] ever made away for free” if Boddika hits #1 this Christmas, a worthy gift if you have ever found yourself a fan.
Do your part: head to the Facebook page and make sure to buy the track on December 20 that’s forthcoming on his ‘Think and Change’ record.
“We won’t techno for an answer.”
