New Audio: TONNUP Shares Flirty “Friction”
JOVM mainstay Craig Ferguson is an electronic music producer and artist best known in dance music circles as TONNUP. Over the course of the past calendar year, Ferguson has released a handful of club bangers including “I’m So Into You,” “Spymaster” and “Dream of You.“
Ferguson’s latest single “Friction” is a flirty club banger anchored around a throbbing bass line, skittering beats, glistening synths and a sultry vocal sample singing lyrics full of mischievous and naughty double entendres. Expressing the unadulterated lust, curiosity and anticipation of that moment when you make a one-on-one connection with someone on the dance floor that seems to deepen, “Friction” sonically is one-part Chicago house, one-part Giorgio Moroder disco, one-part Kylie Minogue — or in other words, all sweaty, grinding, primal desire.
