# 20 SAUCES OF INSPIRATION – The Shoes
## **The Shoes** are the French duo who make fluffy post 4am dance music, the likes of which have not been since the **Beloved** were riding high in the charts.
## You may know them from when we posted this utterly amazing video to their new single 'Stay The Same' -- an epic pairing of song and video that pulls you towards euphoria and heartbreak at the same time, leaving you trapped in the middle, tense but desperate for more.
## We certainly can't get enough so we decided to dive on in like Oliver Twist and ask for extras. This is what we got -- a lovely 20 Sauces of Inspiration.
