Says Zolani Mahola “This album has beensuch an incredible journey for the band. The writing process meant that we allhad room to express ourselves individually before arriving at the whole.Recording with Steve Berlin was an absolute dream come true. Loved everyminute… now take me to the dance!" The band built a makeshift studio in acommunity theatre in the middle of the quiet Karoo town, and created a spacewhere, says Peter Cohen “We pushed ourselves on many levels, and as a resultthe record is sonically far less predictable… our collaboration with DJHeadroom on the title track Take Me To The Dance displays the band’sflexibility within genres. Freshlyground have always allowed themselves widelatitude in terms of style-hopping, and I think this album achieves that moresuccessfully than all the others.”
