Audio Push

Hey yo, what's the deal everybody? This is Octane, this is Price. And we are Audio Push. Here with Michelle Marie, and we about to teach y'all how to jerk. Let's do it. Jerk, Jerk, Jerk. So the first thing we're gonna show you guys is the standard jerk. It's a little sway of your legs like, just a little brief sway of your legs while you move from side to side, real smooth. Nothing too crazy. Jerk, jerk, jerk. Step now do that re-ject. Now the next dance we are going to teach you guys is the one that's most seen, it's called the Re-ject. The one where you're hopping and doing a little jump thing. Jump forward. Jump back. Jump forward. Jump back. Jump forward. It's the backwards running man exactly what it is. That's the Re-ject. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Audio Push

Yes, that's the fastest anyone's learned that dance. She did that. Put your knees to the ground. Take it down, dig it down down. Down, dig it down. Take it down, dig it down. Put your knees to the ground. Take it down, dig it down down. Yo, we're live right now 'cause we had to be live with y'all. We Young Hollywood. Why not? We had to go live with the team. Audio Push, Young Hollywood. Michelle Marie, yo, she's she's, yo, she did the fastest Re-ject learner to this day.

Michelle Marie

So I just learned how to jerk. I am sweating my butt off. I feel like, I just feel like I really just did a workout. How did I do?

Audio Push

Yo, you were great man. You were probably one of the fastest people to ever learn the Re-ject that we've taught, so.

Michelle Marie

Yay! On a scale of 1 to 10 am I 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10?

Audio Push

I gave her a ten, 'cause right after I did it. Like I showed her and she's like, "Oh okay, bam!" And she just started doing it, so Yeah, she definitely gets a ten over here. This video that just came out is cool 'cause it's definitely about high school kids wanting to just, you know, get out of school and not have to just be in school and be bored all day. Jerk, Jerk, Jerk. We're just checking out all these different ideas, but all of 'em blended. Sorta like, "Yo, let's do this, make it to where they're all the kids are in class. The teachers are teaching about stuff you don't wanna hear, and all's on your mind is jerking." So then they give us the opportunity like, "Hey, how 'bout you guys come into the class to teach us something?" So then we that's what we do. So then the whole school just goes nuts.

Michelle Marie

I love it!

Audio Push

And they're running through the whole school but what it is is we are my team is the preppy kids, more of the preps, ties and all that and versus his crowd, with the urban crowd. And like so when you see us in the hallway, we're kinda like battling and by the time the end of the whole joint happens and we go like to the middle of the song, you see us reconcile our differences. Now everybody's jerking in the whole school. It's just crazy like. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So when did you guys come up with this concept, Audio Push and what does it mean?

Audio Push

Actually, we were called The Push. Okay. Now, the deal was going down with Interscope, everything was going perfect. We're like "Boom!" The night before like, we're about to make everything go, like, "Everything's good, you guys are great! We're gonna shoot the video!" But one more thing, "Change your name!" So we're like, "What?" Everyone was like, "Yo, what you guys's sound? Is it rap, is it R&B? Is it, what is it?" It's Audio. It's Audio. Yes, 'cause Audio is music, Audio is sound, and we feel we are music. Right. So that's our sound 'cause you know on our album you can get alternative music, rap, like real rap records for rap heads, party music, R&B, the whole nine, you get it you get it all on our album.

Young Hollywood

All the genres are kind of crossing over. And the cool thing is that you guys also have the style that goes with it.

Audio Push

I keep it like casual, dope little 24/7 V-neck. Skinnies. I don't get colorful with the skinnies, and I don't wear 'em like super tight, I keep 'em a little slack. And I always have a pair of J's on. And a backpack, and a backpack. Let's check this one out. Gucci. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Nice, nice, nice. What is this thing right here? I like that.

Audio Push

These are fox tails. You seen 'em in the video? Brought to you by Fats the Great, Chubby Bull 24/7. I'm turned down today. Usually you'll catch me with ties, bow ties. My jeans are to the max of skinny. Most of the time. And um, I don't it doesn't really matter as long as the shoes are fly. These are Blue Laster SB Dunks, Nike. But I wear, I'll wear shoes that don't even have a name on 'em. These don't matter. As long as they're fly, I'm rocking them.

Young Hollywood

You guys have this great dance, and a great song, super hit song. And I think it's gonna appeal to so many audiences. Where do you like to see yourselves like in the next few years? What is your goal?

Audio Push

Definitely on on another album, um, making more than just jerk music, like everybody enjoying our music, not just like dance music, just to be known for for bringing in the young generation and really getting respected as the young generation. And being able to get off a plane in Geneva and perform and do this to the crowd. And they all know the words to our music. So that's really that'll be the greatest feeling.
