Brooklyn’s underground, Planet Rump, brings to the music scene their new, bold and futuristic sound. DJ Tantric and Miss Strawberry had the whole crowd on their feet jamming as they performed during a showcase at the RockYoFaceCase event held in the University Café. Though they have yet to receive mainstream success, the duo’s singles are released via Internet, building a little buzz. The lyrics to “Humping Without Warning,” a very vivid story about a woman’s frustration with men humping her in the club, is very explicit in contrast to their new, funky single “Daydreams.”
