Party Pupils is a future funk duo consisting of pop star
MAX (Max Schneider) and producer Ryan Siegel. The pair make slick, weekend-ready dance tunes showcasing
MAX's powerful, sexually charged vocals. Their repertoire includes covers of pop hits like
Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It," remixes of artists such as
Chromeo and
Bebe Rexha, and original songs including 2019's "Bite My Tongue."
Party Pupils formed in 2016, around the time
MAX's second solo album, Hell's Kitchen Angel, was released. Their first track was a remake of
OutKast's "Ms. Jackson," followed by a version of
Ginuwine's "Pony." "Patient" and "Over & Under" appeared in 2017, while the duo became prolific remixers, adding their touch to songs by
Bebe Rexha ("I Got You"),
Urban Cone ("Old School"),
Sweater Beats with
Hayley Kiyoko ("Glory Days"), and others.
Party Pupils signed to
Steve Aoki's Dim Mak Records in 2018, releasing "This Is How We Do It" (featuring
Audien) as well as "Sax on the Beach" and "Love Me for the Weekend" (with
Ashe). They also released a mixtape titled Now That's What I Call Future Funk, including their unofficial remixes of hits by
TLC and
Lauryn Hill. Their single "Bite My Tongue" appeared in 2019. ~ Paul Simpson
