The Disco Pirates have released a 10-track project titled 'Getting Away With Murder Vol 1', featuring all bootlegs by the South African duo.

This megamix features all things disco, soul, funk and house as the duo have promised to provide the soundtrack to a summer of fun and "a party like no other".

The Disco Pirates, comprising of Shaun Duvet and Ronald Rowley, are also going on a South African tour over the coming months to bring the party to various venues around the country.

Shaun and Ron narrowed down the large range of house, disco and soul classics to ten of their favourite old tunes and remixed them in their own bootleg, which took around two years to complete.
