PVA Premiere New Single "Bunker"

London electronic/dance trio PVA have premiered their new single "Bunker". 

The song is taken from their highly-anticipated debut album 'BLUSH', due out 14th October via Ninja Tune. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about it, the band explain: “We started playing ‘Bunker’ almost as soon as the band started. Originally just a looped groove, it has evolved into the live track it is today through various compositions and outings live. The song tries to act as a reminder to overcome the want to chase things that ultimately lead to isolation.”

The eleven blistering tracks from the group, Ella Harris and Josh Baxter (who share lead vocals as well as handling synths, guitars and production) alongside drummer and percussionist Louis Satchell, are made from a formula of acid, disco, blistering synths, the release of the dancefloor and cathartic sprechgesang post-punk.

Fujiya & Miyagi Premiere New Single "Slight Variations"

Brighton electronic/art pop outfit Fujiya & Miyagi have premiered their catchy new single "Slight Variations", featuring backing vocals by Everything Shook.

The song serves as the title track of their upcoming new album 'Slight Variations', set to be released on September 30th via Impossible Objects of Desire. Get it here.

Singer/guitarist David Best explaines: “There’s two meanings behind Slight Variations as a title. The first being how although biologically we are pretty much the same it’s the differences that tend to define us and cause friction and misunderstandings. The second is a nod to the suggestion that all our records sound similar to one another, when they all sound quite different to me. There’s a thread running through everything we do but we’ve always tried to push things forward.”

“Slight Variations” opens the record with a pulsing dancefloor gem, pulling together house and disco beats with sharp funk guitar and backing vocals from Everything Shook. The band captures an addictive synthesis of sounds and genre, tightly packing the track with infectious grooves, jolting synth textures, and colorful lyricism. Like the best of the band’s work, “Slight Variations” shows their affection for the many sub-genres of electronic and dance music, crafting a track that manages to be sleek and propulsive while remaining insular and hypnotic.

PVA Announce Debut LP 'BLUSH', Stream "Hero Man"

London electronic/dance trio PVA have announced the release of theirhighly-anticipated debut album 'BLUSH'.

Following on from the release of their critically acclaimed single “Untethered”, the album is due out 14th October via Ninja Tune. Pre-order your copy here.

Arriving closely on the heels of their 2020 EP “Toner”, the band’s stunning debut album sees them further consolidating the beating pulse of electronic music with the raw energy of a life-affirming gig and reveals more about the trio than they’ve ever previously shared. The eleven blistering tracks from the group, Ella Harris and Josh Baxter (who share lead vocals as well as handling synths, guitars and production) alongside drummer and percussionist Louis Satchell, are made from a formula of acid, disco, blistering synths, the release of the dancefloor and cathartic sprechgesang post-punk.

New single “Hero Man” offers a freeing and powerful new look into the latest stage of PVA’s musical evolution. The rhythmic track combines ethereal synth lines with propulsive basslines and precise, energetic drumming, whilst Harris’s self-facing lyrics build into the vocal hook of “can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t go to work, I can’t leave”. Thematically, Harris explains that the song is about “a relationship with yourself that is restrictive and closed off,” going on to say that it is “an expression of this frustrated anger at masculinity and a resentment at being unable to free yourself from that and explore the world.”

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to "Hero Man" below.

BLUSH Tracklist:

1. Untethered

2. Kim

3. Hero Man

4. Interlude

Local Suicide & Skelesys Release "Moustache" Music Video

Berlin based producer/DJ duo Local Suicide and Buenos Aires native DJ/producer & multi-instrumentalist Skelesys have released the video for their collaborative single "Moustache".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from Local Suicide's debut album ‘Eros Anikate’, which came out in May through their label Iptamenos Discos. Grab your copy here.

"...a tribute to Dalí and his legendary moustache. But beware! The title of the track may seem humorous, but the instrumental is far from being funny. On the contrary. It's a complex production, at the crossroads of new wave and post-punk, all sprinkled with touches of EBM. "Moustache" is largely magnified by Vamparela's vocal performance. Add to this, a dark wave atmosphere punctuated by a groovy and omnipresent synth superimposed on floating pads... That's it, you're in space with moustaches floating around you... (Have we gone too far? Maybe.) In short, we had a lot of fun on this devilishly danceable track to the rhythm of "Dalí" chanted in the background."

While the track crescendos into an ominous buildup of synths that continue to mesmerise you, the famous Vamparela vocals are the perfect surrealist playground that Dali himself would be proud of. Contrasting the playful with the serious, this track is the perfect oxymoron with post-punk and EBM madness, of which we’d expect nothing less from the two acts coming together.

Watch: PVA Return With New Single/Video "Untethered"

London electronic/dance trio PVA have returned with their new single "Untethered", alongside an accompanying music video.

Untethered sees the band expanding on the insistent and propulsive sound laid down on their widely acclaimed debut 2020 EP “Toner”. Produced and mixed by the band, the unrelenting and energetic new single sees the trio once again combining the release of the dancefloor with jagged punk spirit. Built on a bed of dynamic industrial beats, blistering synths and sprechgesang inflected post-punk, “Untethered” is a freeing and powerful statement of intent from the band as they continue their musical evolution.

The song is out today, May 24 via Ninja Tune. Grab it here.

Speaking about it, the band says, "Untethered is a song about release. It’s our current set opener and an introduction to our industrial arm. We wrote it in one session in a burst of chaotic catharsis. The lyrics follow a character being freed from imaginary tethers and experiencing the earth under their feet again."

The single is also accompanied by a new video which perfectly reflects the themes of the track. Directed by the band, the video sees them performing under a pulsating lighting rig with angular and sparse visuals (created by Gabriel Davidson) projected onto the trio as Ella Harris dances unrestrained.

Local Suicide & Skelesys Drop "Moustache"

Berlin based producer/DJ duo Local Suicide and Buenos Aires native DJ/producer & multi-instrumentalist Skelesys have dropped their collaborative single "Moustache".

The song is taken from Local Suicide's long-awaited debut album ‘Eros Anikate’, set to be released on May 13th through their label Iptamenos Discos. Pre-order your copy here.

Sharing a love for the darker sounds you’d find in horror films and computer simulations, the 4/4 kick drum and woodwind like sounds manipulated into a frenzy bring us a rather interesting juxtaposition of playful horror.

"...a tribute to Dalí and his legendary moustache. But beware! The title of this new track may seem humorous, but the instrumental is far from being funny. On the contrary. It's a complex production, at the crossroads of new wave and post-punk, all sprinkled with touches of EBM. "Moustache" is largely magnified by Vamparela's vocal performance.

New Entry: Perel Releases New Single "Real"

German DJ/producer Perel (aka Annegret Fiedler) has released her new single "Real".

The song is taken from her upcoming sophomore album 'Jesus Was An Alien', set to arrive on May 13 via Kompakt Records. Pre-order your copy here.

“Jesus Was An Alien is a discourse about whether Jesus was an actual alien,” she explains, “but also a social debate about what is and implies religion today.” She offers up her provocative second record as a soundtrack for the listener’s own journey through the intricacies and ironies of modern belief.

Picking up on the themes she brought to her debut, the 2018’s LP Hermetica on DFA, Perel has created ten tracks rich with spirit and allusion. Her influences are myriad, from the indie dance hitmakers of the early 2000s – Hot Chip, Simian Mobile Disco, Justice – to rave compilations that predate her ascent to the DJ booth, to more abstract inputs. Living with synesthesia, she says, “I feel emotions and colors piling up inside me, then there’s a triggering sound or event that opens a valve. My tracks are color streams that tell a story.”

New Entry: Nixer Premiere New Single "Decisions"

Irish electronic/dance/new wave duo Nixer (aka Seán Keenan and Gearóid Peggs) have premiered their addictive new single "Decisions".

The song is taken from their forthcoming debut EP 'People Feel', set to arrive on May 27th via Blowtorch Records. 

UPDATE 19/04/2022: "Decisions" is out new Single of the Week!

The unique sound of Nixer–built on elements of electronic dance and new wave influences–is in part the result of two contrasting musical backgrounds fusing together to spark a new sound. Peggs comes from an electronic production background and the sound of artists like Boy Harsher and Boys Noize, bringing those infectious electronic dance shuffles, synths and 808’s to the Nixer sound. On the other side of the coin, Keenan draws influence from the sonic worlds of artists like Alex G, King Krule, Fontaines D.C. and The Stone Roses, pairing his melodic guitar lines and distinctive vocals with Pegg's skilled production to create this unique and utterly gripping brand of alternative dance music.
