Deptford Sound Collective return with unapologetic flair on “Give Me. Give Me. Give Me, I Want It All,” a disco-infused protest anthem that fuses satire, solidarity, and pure dancefloor energy. Hailing from Deptford in South East London, the collective—made up of diverse musicians, artists, and community activists—reimagines the spirit of 1960s protest songs through the glittering lens of 1980s disco. The result is a parody track that feels both playful and purposeful, pairing a catchy hook and infectious dance routine with a pointed political message. Beneath the tongue-in-cheek humour lies a serious call for unity in a time marked by division, fear, and challenges to civil liberties across the globe.


Musically, the track thrives on bold grooves, pulsating beats, and an irresistibly camp flair that nods to classic disco theatrics. Designed with crossover appeal and remix potential in mind, it embraces its pop sensibilities while cleverly weaponizing them for activism. Written as a humorous open message to Donald Trump, the song uses satire to challenge power structures and mock authoritarian posturing, all while inviting listeners to join in a dance challenge that spreads its message across social media. The accompanying pop video amplifies this balance of comedy and critique, presenting exaggerated imagery and playful performance elements that contrast sharply with the weight of its themes. It is protest wrapped in sequins—bold, defiant, and unafraid to boogie.



Released on Valentine’s Day during LGBTQ History Month, “Give Me. Give Me. Give Me, I Want It All” positions itself as a statement of “Love Not Hate.” At a time when cultural narratives often feel polarized, Deptford Sound Collective offer a track that channels joy as resistance. The single stands out not only for its theatrical energy but for its grassroots intention: encouraging global solidarity through something as simple as downloading and sharing a song. In blending art, activism, and unabashed pop fun, the collective prove that protest does not always have to shout—sometimes it can dance.
