# Benjamin Damage and Doc Daneeka live with 50 Weapons
The EB office still looks a bit messy (cigarette stubs on the floor and
the like). Back in October 2011 we invited **Modeselektor** over to the
EB office for a website takeover and [a little party at the end of the
day][1]. You might remember, we had UStream going that night! Alongside
**Shed** and **Phon.O**, the Modeselektors brought their latest label
signings with them: **Doc Daneeka** and **Benjamin Damage** who warmed
up the party. Four months later, they're back with their joint debut
album *They! Live* on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons label.
Producers Doc Daneeka (aka Mial Watkins) and Benjamin Damage (aka Ben
O'Shea) who are from Swansea, joined forces for their first collaborate
full-length album with Welsh singer **Abigail Wyles** adding vocals on
three tracks. *They! Live* combines several influences from contemporary
club culture: house and techno, dub and the greatest evil of all,
post-dubstep.
The album is said to being influenced by Damage's and Daneeka's current
residency, Berlin -- which is obviously the case on 'Charlottenburg', a
referance to the west Berlin neighborhood of the same name (though we'd
like to know which exact connection an uptempo instrumental track
actually has with Charlottenburg, but never mind). An old acquaintance
on the album is the track 'Creeper', which we heard for the first time
on last year's compilation *50 Weapons of Choice #10-19*.
Art direction and illustration comes by Daneeka's friend **Bingo
Boutique**. Together with **Ian Yeti** they've been responsible for some
quite exciting releases by artists such as **xxxy, Julio Bashmore and
The Watkins Screamers** on their very own **[Ten Thousand Yen][2]{:
target="_blank"}** record label. Doc Daneeka's and Benjamin Damage's
*They! Live* will be out [via 50 Weapons][3]{: target="_blank"} on
January 27th 2012 as a digital download as well as CD and limited clear
double 12″ vinyl, listen to snippets from the album below.
