The power trio of Amy Douglas, Rob Phillips and Daymeyn Gantt, otherwise known as SPF 5000 returns with Take My Picture, a 5 track EP!
They began with the mission to take over dance floors across the universe, one party track at a time and their infectious blend of pop, electro, funk, hip hop and house music have become mainstays in many DJās arsenals.
Today we announce the debut of their EP for our record label Knight Time Records, the full scope of their vision is fully realized with high energy, high voltage party jams to set your summer on Fire.Ā
Boston based trio, SPF 5000, recently released the āMake Love To Me EPā + Remixes on Knight Time Records and Iāve literally been grooving to it all night. The original is a hot slice of disco dance meets electro pop with amazing suggestive vocals that just beg you to get down and dirty. And the remixes are equally dope, with my favorite being the darker techno stylings of the Galactic Nights Raw Remix. Get on it! - Gotta Dance Dirty
We are thrilled to announce our first signees, SPF 5000, and to be releasing their debut music video for āMake Love to Meā! Sharing this release with our wonderful followers, collaborators, and friends is a dream come true!
SPF 5000 are a darling trio consisting of members Rob Phillips, Daymeyn Gantt and Amy Douglasā¦.Amy Douglas you say? Why yes the very one that has graced our beloved blog for years now with her different appearances on other artists tracks including the new one from All Dom Wrong. - Nerdy Frames, NZs Electronic/Indie Mouthpiece

SPF 5000 is the white-hot catalyst that ignited the new NYC label with a musical tribute for NickyDigital.com, which was performed in late 2011. The record label aims to collect and produce dance-floor indie pop for a global audience. The first release on the label will be āMake Love to Me,ā an attitude-laden electro track from SPF 5000, complete with a sugar-sweet, sassy, and colorful music video.
... the night boasts a performance from SPF 5000, featuring the always-worth-catching Amy Douglas on vocals; the band is helping to inaugurate Nicky Digital's new Knight Time Records label via the floor-filling āMake Love to Me" track. - TimeOutNY.com
Amy Douglas has done much to warrant digital ink on this site, from belting out the blues rock with Feints to calling the living members of Queen a bunch of āsackless twats.ā But life comes full circle as we return to the thing that first drew us to Douglas sometime in the last few years, and thatās her Somerville electro-funk trio SPF 5000.
While Boston dance floors are no stranger to the electric pulse of SPF 5000ā²s raunchy post-disco, the trio has also been turning heads and shaking asses in the New York club scene. And now one of the Dirty Appleās beacons of underground nightlife has tapped Douglas and crew to bring the beat global.
SPF 5000 is the first act to sign to Nicky Digitalās new record label, Knight Time Records, and will drop their first rump-rumbler single āMake Love To Meā on August 13. The track has Douglasā signature bedroom howl, but also showcases the slick dance production of Rob Phillips and has Daymeyn Ganttās āget downā fingerprints all over it, a mix of freestyle and electro and 103.5 KTU FM.
āItās incredibly exciting and an honor to be a part of this brand new vision,ā Douglas says in the signingās announcement. āNicky Digital is an inspiring trailblazer in his own right, and so to be able to showcase brand new sounds and vision together, feels like a baptism of sorts, a new beginning.ā
Knight Time Records is a partnership with longtime Nicky Digital collaborator The Sleepover Party (and is expected to specialize in āremix-ready dance floor indie pop.ā Theyāre off to a good start.
