With winter out of the way, League510, consisting of emcees TK, Mr. Knowitall, Monty, and DJ Blacksmith, are excited to drop their latest single, "To The Beat," to get people ready for a good time this summer.

Emphasizing the group's original Town Techno sound, "To The Beat" is the perfect soundtrack to your next party. The energetic synthesizer is contagiously satisfying; you'll find yourself unable to forget the beat, while the song's hook, "We're movin' and groovin' to the beat," sung by the group's close friend and fellow artist, Mara Decoudrex, matches the beat's catchiness perfectly. "After we wrote it, we immediately thought of her," says League510. "She had the perfect voice for it."

When asked what the biggest challenge was making the song, they answer, "Writing it. The beat is crazy and prior to making this track we'd never rapped to anything like it." Recording the track wasn't all challenges, though. The four Bay Area natives had plenty of good times recording the dance anthem: "The most enjoyable part was when Mara was recording the hook in her 'valley girl' voice. We laughed the entire time."

The title track to their album, To The Beat, the song genuinely represents how the group feels as newly emerging artists to the scene, while capturing the unique concept that League follows throughout the course of their debut album. Explaining the relationship League510 says, "This song is the title track because it signifies League510's landing on earth and attempting to adapt and learn how to move 'to the beat' of a new world while still marching 'to the beat' of our own drum." Looks like the ultimate summer anthem has arrived a little early.

Be on the lookout for the official video for League510's "To The Beat" in the coming weeks.
