DZ Deathrays announce Weekend Warriors Regional Aus Tour this 2025

by the partae October 31, 2024
written by the partae

DZ DEATHRAYS ANNOUNCE WEEKEND WARRIORS AUS REGIONAL TOUR THIS FEB – APRIL 2025

SUPPORTED BY LAST QUOKKA, PRETTY UGLYS, DRUNK MUMS, MANNEQUIN DEATH SQUAD, SEMANTICS, TRIM REAPER, PRIVATE WIVES, GOON GREMLINES, ITCHY & THE NITS, KORDEROY, NO LONGER KIDS & MORE

PRAISE FOR DZ DEATHRAYS

ARIA Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album (Bloodstreams, Black Rat)
AIR Best Independent Hard Rock or Punk Album (Bloodstreams, Black Rat, Bloody Lovely
AIR Best Independent Punk Album or EP (Positive Rising: Pt 1)

“More than worth going deaf to”
Pitchfork

“Brilliant videos and songs and a great sense of humour and style”
Mark Ronson

“tapping back into the colourful, nigh-on hedonistic experimentalism of their early work… while amping up the shred to reach a level of raw, primal punk energy only hinted at on previous efforts. The title stands for ‘Remember It’s For Fun’, and here DZ Deathrays wholeheartedly embody that ethos”
NME Australia

“Moody Aussie noisemakers DZ Deathrays bring the concept album back to life. Again…”
Kerrang (4/5)

“The world may be a mess, but there’s still fun to be had, and DZ Deathrays deliver it in spades. A tactile and vivacious undertaking that makes you think while lashing you with oscillating punk and more modern textures, R.I.F.F is modern rock cooked to perfection”
Hysteria (9/10)

“They speak to my soul. It just feels good listening to their music”
MAY-A

“It’s built on the intuitive interplay between Parsons and Ewbank, whose heavily textured playing doesn’t always sound like guitars — more like a twin malevolent force that every so often waxes celestial, like sunlight spearing through storm clouds”
The Australian (4/5)

Australian rock heavyweights DZ Deathrays are hitting the road with their Weekend Warriors Regional Aus Tour starting in Feb through to April 2025, bringing along a powerhouse lineup of local talent for fans across the country. Currently on the road for their UK and European tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of Black Rat, DZ Deathrays will return back on Australian soil ready to bring their electrifying energy to regional stages alongside punk and rock acts Last Quokka, Pretty Uglys, Drunk Mums, Mannequin Death Squad, Semantics, Trim Reaper, Private Wives, Goon Gremlins, Itchy & The Nits, Korderoy, No Longer Kids and more.

The tour marks the first national shows since the release of their playful new single, ‘First Night Fever’, celebrated by triple j, Rolling Stone, Wall of Sound, and more. The track sets the tone for what promises to be an unforgettable run of live shows, pairing DZ Deathrays’ thunderous sound with a fresh burst of energy and nostalgia. You can listen back and watch here.

Joining DZ Deathrays are some of the country’s most exciting punk and rock acts. Perth’s Last Quokka, known for their politically charged lyrics and gritty, high-energy performances, have been steadily gaining a following both locally and internationally. Signed to French punk label Mass Prod, Last Quokka’s latest single ‘Cost of Living’ offers a taste of their upcoming LP and continues to build on the momentum from their Australian Music Prize-nominated album, Red Dirt. Alongside them are Pretty Uglys, whose feel-good garage rock has seen them support major acts like Skegss and Pacific Avenue. Fans can expect to hear new tracks from their anticipated debut album, led by the infectious single ‘Supernova’.

DZ Deathrays will also be joined by Melbourne’s rowdy garage rockers Drunk Mums, who are back from a four-year hiatus with their new single ‘Livin’ at Night’. The track previews their forthcoming album, Beer Baby, set for release on March 7, 2025, and captures the band’s irreverent style that celebrates living in the moment. Also supporting are, Mannequin Death Squad—a fierce Melbourne duo known for their DIY ethic and raw energy—will deliver their grungy, pop-punk fusion that has made them a must-see act following their recent SXSW Sydney appearances and self-funded DIY or DIE tour across Europe. See the full details of supports below.

Since their inception, DZ Deathrays have secured a place as one of the most recognisable names in modern Australian rock, initially propelled by the roaring success of their debut album Bloodstreams, which became synonymous with their thunderous sound. They evolved with a more refined edge on their sophomore release, Black Rat, expanding beyond their garage rock origins into an award-winning powerhouse, touring globally and supporting major acts like The Foo Fighters, Ratatat, Biffy Clyro, and Grinspoon. Alongside these monumental tours, DZ Deathrays have headlined iconic venues like The Tivoli, The Enmore, and The Forum.

Beloved by a dedicated fanbase for their deft blend of technical skill and mischievous energy, DZ Deathrays have amassed an impressive list of festival performances, playing at Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, and St. Jerome’s Laneway, along with international stages like SXSW, Reading, and Leeds Festival. Their music has consistently resonated with fans, earning multiple entries in triple j’s Hottest 100. With recent LPs like R.I.F.F. and Bloody Lovely, as well as the critically celebrated twin concept albums Positive Rising: Part 1 and Part 2, DZ Deathrays, composed of Shane Parsons, Simon Ridley, and Lachlan Ewbank, remain a vital force in the music scene.

‘First Night Fever’ is out now, buy/stream it here.

Fairground Festival celebrates its 3rd anniversary!

by the partae October 29, 2024
written by the partae

All great things arrive in threes: Fairground Festival celebrates its third anniversary, on four amazing stages across three incredible halls of music

 

On November 30th, 2024, Northern Germany’s largest indoor festival returns to the Hanover Exhibition Center – with a fresh addition to the lineup in the form of a brand new hall delivering an incredible hard-style experience, and as always a true unique line-up.

October 29, 2024, Hanover, Germany – Last year, FAIRGROUND Festival made history for the second consecutive year. The Hanover-based indoor festival set a milestone throughout the German festival landscape, thanks to its pioneering ‘Live Acts Only’ concept. 

The event welcomed 19,500 visitors from across 39 countries, offering every fan in attendance a unique full-weekend experience that boasted headline superstar DJs from across the electronic music scene.

Media partners including NDR and ARTE, helped broadcast the musical event to electronic music fans, families and friends who couldn’t attend, allowing them the opportunity of experiencing incredible performances from headline acts such as techno-wizard Paul Kalkbrenner, as well as the extraordinary Charlotte De Witte, who in the latest DJ Mag Top 100 poll, was voted the World’s No.1 Techno DJ 2024.

Other amazing headliners who created a historical FAIRGROUND Festival experience included Stephan Bodzin, Danish multi-hyphenate DJ superstar Kolsch, and the unforgettable CamelPhat.

Thanks to partners such as NDR and ARTE more than 2 million additional fans enjoyed the festival experience from the comfort of their own home via easy-to-access live streams.

And next month will be no different, FAIRGROUND Festival will be setting even greater standards for the third edition, when it returns to the Hanover Exhibition Center on November 30, 2024, by promising plenty of exciting and unmissable electronic festival innovations.

 

A festival expansion, a unique experience and a separate hall for 100% hard-style

 

Over the past two years, FAIRGROUND Festival has taken place in Hanover Exhibition Center Hall 2 and 3, however this year, due to unprecedented and our persuasive dedicated festival fans, Hall 4 will be added for the very first time. So this year, each individual stage will have both their own hall and their own area. We won’t be stopping there, as we fully expect the festival to grow and grow, and its all for you, our dedicated FAIRGROUND Festival fans.

In direct response to festival fan feedback, the Hard Style community has been given its own area, a huge stage, wider space and a brand new sound system – with the aim of creating a completely new festival experience.

 

No Friday Festival

 

In what will likely be disappointing news to some of our FAIRGROUND fans, this year’s 2024 festival will only take place over one day. This important decision was carried out in direct response to answers received from our FAIRGROUND Festival community survey carried out after last year’s incredible event.

“The community reaction as to whether Festival Friday should continue this year was 50/50. However, it quickly became clear to us that Friday could only be an option if the event had a strong, unique selling point, that resolutely met our high standards. And following a collective agreement, we don’t believe it can be achieved according to this year’s expectations. We would prefer to focus on strengthening, and expanding the Saturday festival, and hope our beloved FAIRGROUND community understand. We will, of course, re-evaluate the situation before the 2025 edition”, says Helge Peterknecht, Managing Director of HUNF GmbH and organizer of the FAIRGROUND Festival.

Additional news about FAIRGROUND Festival will be published during the next few weeks via WhatsApp and across the festival’s social media channels, so stay tuned.

 

An incredible line-up across four amazing stages: The first headliner has already been announced

 

Since first beginning in 2022, FAIRGROUND Festival has impressed with its eclectic line-up that is quite unparalleled within the German festival landscape. In 2024, the line-up will again be bulging at the seams, filled with top-class artists and superstars from multiple genres of electronic music. This has never-more-so been reflected in the line-up for the upcoming edition.

Requested by FAIRGROUND fans, high-tech minimal German genius BORIS BREJCHA will headline the festival main stage on Nov 30, joined by superstars OLIVER HELDENS, as well as rising star MARLON HOFFSTADT.

Belgian techno-goddess CHARLOTTE DE WITTE, fresh from her DJ MAG TOP 100 success, returns to FAIRGROUND Festival Main stage for the third year in a row – and it feels as if this could be a new DJ residency for the talented KNTXT label founder.

In addition: A B2B world premiere with ARGY and GORDO, as well as hugely talented DJs, ALFRED HEINRICHS and PROPHECY.

The line-up doesn’t end there, as we welcome Italian techno-groundbreaker Deborah De Luca, the unquestionable leader of the hard-techno movement Klangkuenstler, as well as legendary Berghain resident Kobosil, as one of the techno stage headliners.

They will be joined by headline superstars (A-Z) AKKI, BEN KLOCK b2b MARCEL DETTMANN, DANNY AVILA & HI-LO.

The Hard Style stage lineup teases a glimpse of an incredible and unforgettable festival experience. As well as the iconic BRENNAN HEART, hard style fans can look forward to BASS MODULATORS, COONE, KORSAKOFF X, HYSTA, RADICAL REDEMPTION & HIS ORCHESTRA OF ETERNITY, ROOLER, SEFA, SUB ZERO PROJECT and VILLAIN.

A special highlight for Hard Style fans is the exclusive premiere of Radical Redemption, who will be playing his one and only ‘Orchestra of Eternity’ show this year.

Another new addition for this year is our hugely-anticipated fourth stage, which was created in cooperation with Hanover-based event brand Outside World and regional mobile. Inspired by the unforgettable music of the time, the Classic Techno stage welcomes era-defining icons of the 90s and 00s, who will be delivering unforgettable, decade-shaping, techno-hymns with a fresh modern new taste.

CLASSIC TECHNO lineup (A-Z) FRANKY JONES (JONES & STEPHENSON, JAM EL MAR, KAI TRACID, MAURO PICOTTO, NALIN & KANE, OSW BY REVIL O., THOMAS SCHUMACHER and TOM WAX.

 

Ticket phase 2 of 3 in full motion

 

After the early bird ticket for FAIRGROUND Festival 2024 sold out within a matter of days, and €69 discounted phase 1 tickets also sold out, sales are now currently in phase 2 and will cost €79. Be quick however, because tickets will soon move into phase 3 and be priced at €89.

Anyone who misses phase 3 or leaves their ticket until the last minute, will still have a chance of winning a ‘Last Chance Ticket’ priced at €99 – however why delay, don’t wait until you’re faced with our dreaded ‘FAIRGROUND Sold Out’ notification.

Kazuma Onishi, miss behave and a slew of renowned and still-to-be-announced abstract performers will also grace the stages, while celebrated Sydney artist Danny Willians will be bringing a new piece of art to life over the course of the weekend.

One-day tickets start at $119 and a limited number of camping packages for weekend campers are also available.

South Coast duo SURELY SHIRLEY named as Australian tour supports for INFINITY SONG (US)

Australian audiences will soon be able to enjoy the full Infinity Song experience when the band makes their debut appearances on the East Coast this summer with special guests just announced, SURELY SHIRLEY.

South Coast NSW sisters Jenaya and Anisha – aka SURELY SHIRLEY – will join the tour, starting in Brisbane at The Brightside on December 6, before hitting The Nightcat in Melbourne and Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory. 

In 2024, the beloved New York soft rock/R&B group reached new heights with the release of their much-anticipated album, Metamorphosis Complete, a record that beautifully tied up the ‘Metamorphosis’ era for the band, while also showcasing new material for fans to devour. 

Surely Shirley brings a coastal vibe coupled with a fusion of indie pop that evoke ‘60s ballads and rhythms. Surely Shirley have been making an impact since debuting in 2023 with their single ‘Honeymoon Island’.

‘Honeymoon Island’ spurred the quick development of a loyal fanbase across the country and a live presence that has seen the girls support artists including Pacific Avenue, The VANNS and Meg Mac, making Surely Shirley a great fit for the upcoming Infinity Song tour.

These shows are sure to leave an unforgettable impression on Australian audiences; Infinity Song themselves drawing comparisons to groups like Fifth Dimension and ABBA.

Ixaras Releases ‘new to this’ A Gritty Anthem for the Hesitant Heart

by the partae October 24, 2024
written by the partae

Rising Indie Pop Rock artist Ixaras is set to release her latest single, new to this on October 25, offering a heartfelt preview of her debut EP, full lover fake friend. This final single provides an intimate look at her journey through love and vulnerability, perfectly setting the stage for the highly anticipated EP.

“’new to this’ is inspired by my occasional compulsion to fall a bit too easily,” says Ixaras. “I wrote this song at the age of 13, and it’s a confession of inexperience when it comes to love and relationships.” With its fusion of post-punk guitar tones and catchy indie pop rock melodies, the track embodies the candidness that has become synonymous with Ixaras‘ music.

The release of new to this also marks a milestone in Ixaras’ current Australian tour, where she’s supporting Grinspoon and Aleskiah, as well as headlining her own shows. In addition to her current tour, fans can catch Ixaras at upcoming festivals like NYE On the Hill, and Great Escape TAS. Recently performing at the Sweet Relief Festival alongside Kelis and The Presets, curating her own Happy Feet Festival through her label Anti-Dismal, featuring rising Australian talent such as Kian, Dust, and The Belair Lip Bombs, and showcasing at SXSW Sydney, Ixaras is steadily making a lasting impact on the country’s live music scene.

As a Brisbane-based artist who embodies the spirit of inclusivity and accessibility, Ixaras not only uses her music as a platform for self-expression but also leads her own DIY label, Anti-Dismal, organising all-ages gigs in unconventional spaces like skateparks, backyards, and community halls.

Previous singles from this project, fresh figure and she’s already out the doorstep, garnered significant attention, including first plays on triple j’s Home & Hosed. Ixaras‘ music has received major support from triple j Unearthed, Sirius XMU, 4ZZZ, and JOY FM, with prominent editorial playlist placements on Spotify’s Local Noise and Apple Music’s New Music Daily, Today’s Indie Rock, and more. Editorial outlets such as Junkee, Alterwave, Frankie Magazine, Purple Sneakers, CH-VOID, and The Point Music News have also championed her work.

“This one’s got this great pace about it and I love this buzzy feel and sound on you. Vision is feeling sharper than ever and I’m in love! ★ ★ ★ ★ ½”
– Claire Mooney, triple j Assistant Music Director (on she’s already out the doorstep)“I’m a ride or die ixaras fan – ‘salt’ feels like a 2000’s anthem and it’s making me nostalgic and sentimental and reminiscent for a time that never existed! I adore this upload sm sm sm!
★ ★ ★ ★ ½”

– Anika Luna, triple j Unearthed community producer (on ‘salt’)“Her convulsing dance moves were infectious, with energy bouncing to and fro the stage like a high-stakes game of catch. A particularly hardcore moment included Ixaras screaming lyrics into a rotary telephone, oozing an erratic stage presence that reminded some matured crowd members of the punk glory of the seventies.”
– The Music, Live Review @ The Zoo

COG TOURING REGIONAL WA, SYDNEY + BRISBANE THIS OCT + NOV

by the partae October 24, 2024
written by the partae

COG ADDS CROWBAR BRISBANE SHOW TO THE VINYL TOUR CONTINUED THIS NOVEMBER, TOURING REGIONAL WA, SYDNEY + BRISBANE THIS OCT + NOV

Kicking off The Vinyl Tour Continued earlier this month, today prolific Aussie rockers Cog are pleased to announce an extra live show for 2024, with a performance locked and loaded on Saturday 30 November at Brisbane’s revived live music venue: Crowbar.

Following the recent news that Brisbane live music institute The Zoo would be taken over by Crowbar, the beloved indie venue known for championing all things alternative, punk and heavy, the announcement was music to the ears of heavy fans and bands alike; and Cog will help kick-start this exciting new era onstage at Brisbane’s Crowbar on Saturday 30 November, joined by special guests HAMMERS and The Sea Benz.

Currently on the road visiting largely regional parts of Australia as part of The Vinyl Tour Continued, Cog recently ticked off shows in Bunurong/Frankston, Wadawurrung/Torquay, and Arakwal/Byron Bay, with the latter two shows entirely sold out. The band will be heading next to Goomburrup/Bunbury on Thursday 31 October and Wadandi Boodja/Margaret River on Friday 1 November, supported by Yomi Ship, as well as Walyalup/Fremantle on Saturday 2 November supported by Yomi Ship and Primrose Path. Tickets are selling fast, so don’t delay!

And before heading up to the Sunshine State for their freshly announced Crowbar Brisbane extravaganza as the final stop on The Vinyl Tour Continued, Cog will also jump up on the hallowed stage of Crowbar Sydney on Friday 29 November for the venue’s inaugural birthday celebrations, also joined by HAMMERS and The Sea Benz, with the event sold out months in advance; and the night set to be one for the ages.

Renowned as one of the country’s consummate live acts, this tour sees Cog continue the festivities surrounding the long-awaited release of their seminal albums The New Normal (2005) and Sharing Space (2008) on vinyl for the first time ever, as well as the first pressing of their compilation record Just Visiting (2008).

Tickets for The Vinyl Tour Continued are currently on sale now and available here.

 

Emerging in the late 90s, Cog‘s enduring legacy on the heavy music landscape has traversed decades, global touring, and a jubilant reunion back in 2016. Via their early EPs, 2000’s Pseudo, and part one and part two of Just Visiting, the behemoth reputation of the Sydney-hailing trio would firmly cement in 2005 in the form of their debut full-length: The New Normal. From here, Cog took the world by storm, relentlessly touring Australia, embarking on overseas runs, igniting stages at Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Homebake, alongside adding a stellar second album to their repertoire in the form of the certified Gold 2008 opus Sharing Space.

Never ones to rest on their laurels, Cog emerged from a five year hiatus in 2016, with an entirely sold out comeback tour across Australia that same year – and some new music soon followed in 2018 via the band’s first new material in a decade: The Middle. From here, Cog have continued to expand their creative spirit, releasing two additional singles, Altered States and Drawn Together, while also remaining active on the touring circuit, including headlining The Other Festival and Thrashville in 2023.

Reaching a milestone in 2023, Cog‘s long road to finally releasing their albums on vinyl spanned a 15 year uphill battle, with the group locked into a contract and awaiting resolution ever since delivering Sharing Space to their label in 2008. Now armed with complete ownership of the rights to all of their music, the pressing of Cog‘s sonic legacy onto vinyl sparked a huge headline run earlier this year, with the trio’s East Coast round of The Vinyl Tour in March wowing crowds in Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle, Canberra and Sydney, and majority of shows sold out.

Exclusively through Rare Records, The New Normal and Sharing Space are now available pressed on 3 x 180g vinyl, housed in deluxe triple gatefold sleeves, with a range of variants and vinyl combinations on offer.

Tickets for The Vinyl Tour Continued are on-sale now, do not miss this unforgettable run of shows from one of Australia’s finest this October and November.

About Peggy Gou
​There has never been a figure in pop culture like Peggy Gou. The self-managed South Korean-born, Berlin-based producer and artist is uniquely revered as both an underground icon and global sensation, sticking by her own unwavering vision to become one of the most in-demand electronic music artists and DJs in the world. ​ ​

In 2023, Gou released her hit single ‘(It Goes Like) Nanana’ – Platinum in AU, #1 ARIA Club Single, #2 ARIA Dance Single, voted #15 in triple j Hottest 100, #1 on Global Shazam Chart, #1 Spotify Global Daily Chart, #1 Spotify AU Viral Chart – which was the first track from her hot debut album I Hear You – #5 ARIA Dance Chart and #7 ARIA Vinyl Chart – which also features the official singles ‘Lobster Telephone’, ‘1+1=11’, ‘I Believe In Love Again (with Lenny Kravitz)’ and ‘I Go’. ​ Last month, Gou released an expanded version of her acclaimed debut album, titled I Hear You – Bonus Tracks Edition (out now via Remote Control, here) and includes remixes from Mogwaa, Koreless, Jex Opolis, Spray and more.

About Logic1000
​Logic1000 is the moniker of Sydney born, Berlin based producer and DJ Samantha Poulter. Her unique production process conjures concepts, genres, samples, hyper-accurate digital synths, and disembodied textures.

In 2023 Logic experienced a surge of creativity when she became a mother and felt compelled to create something powerful despite her limited time, which led to the release of Mother in March 2024, her debut album with Because Music. Describing the album as a “love letter to house music,” it blends genres like Deep House, UK Funky, and Garage and reflects her creative evolution and personal journey into parenthood, a milestone she never imagined achieving and one that she chronicles across her podcast ‘Therapy’ featuring guests including Jayda G, Anna Lunoe and Jamz Supernova. The album saw high praise from the likes of Mixmag (Best of 2024) DJ Mag (Album of The Month), Sydney Morning Herald, Guardian, Sunday Times, Billboard and Resident Advisor.

Poulter’s career began in her late 20s when she produced music inspired by her dissatisfaction with the current scene. Her breakthrough came with the track ‘DJ Logic Please Forgive Me,’ championed by Four Tet, which propelled her from making songs on SoundCloud to playing at large festivals and remixing the likes Dua Lipa, Don Toliver, Shygirl and Caribou.

Now confident in her roles as an artist and mother, Poulter reclaims her space in the music world. She has set herself on a path for delivering music that is open-hearted and irresistibly melodic, house music that speaks directly to what it is to be human.

William Kiss

About William Kiss
​Melbourne’s producer and DJ William Kiss has a firm foothold on his signature house and techno sound, having signed his most successful tracks on Gudu, Rekids, UNCAGE, Club Bad, Bush and Carl Cox’s 23rd Century.

With a decisive focus on percussive elements, undertones full of groove, rumbling baselines and main floor hooks, William creates music for the masses with classic electronic endurance. Stemming from a percussion-based background, the complexities and the sometimes-understated simplicities of techno hues have always struck a chord with him, fascinated by the raw power conveyed through basic elements. Drawing influence from all ends of the musical spectrum, William Kiss maintains the relentless passion and drive to create, with a highly anticipated slew of forthcoming releases via pioneering local and international labels.

ELECTRONIC DUO JERSEY ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR

by the partae October 24, 2024
written by the partae

FRENCH ELECTRONIC DUO JERSEY ANNOUNCE PLEASE, DON’T BREAK OUR NEW SYNTHS
AUSTRALIAN TOUR

PLAYING BEYOND THE VALLEY (VIC), FIELD DAY (NSW)
+ BRISBANE HEADLINE SHOW

 

PRAISE FOR JERSEY

“The birth of a phenomenon” 
Magnetic Magazine

“Jersey has quickly become one of the most exciting names in the electronic scene”
Beatportal

“Expansive and intimate all at once in their modern and fan-declared “futuristic” sound”
EARMILK

“They stand out amidst the crowd, choosing a unique path to showcase their authenticity”
Your EDM

“The French DJ duo you have been searching for”
Ones To Watch

Making their Australian live debut this summer with appearances at Beyond The Valley in Victoria and Field Day in Sydney, French electronic duo Jersey today reveal their Please, Don’t Break Our New Synths tour, announcing a headline show at The Princess Theatre in Brisbane presented by Penny Drop and Frontier Touring. Frontier Member pre-sale commences Friday 25 October 12pm local time ahead of the general on-sale Monday 28 October 12pm local time. Tickets and tour information via frontiertouring.com/jersey.

First rising to fame via their viral DIY living room parties in Paris, Jersey have since positioned themselves as one of the most promising newcomers in the global electronic scene. From secret sets in London and Paris, to sold out world festival tour across MELT! (DE), All Points East (UK), Dour (BE) and FIB (ESP), Portola (US) and more, the duo have continued to skyrocket following the release of their new EP Over & Over earlier this month.

Featuring singles ‘Over & Over’, ‘Ghost Of What Could Be’ and ‘I Need For Speed’, Over & Over is a transportative listen, drawing from brothers Carl and Renaud’s deep musical references inspired by French-touch and indie rock of the BBC Radio waves picked up during their childhood on the Normandy coast. Filtering these influences into a novel and playful sound throughout the EP, Jersey disperse serrated synths and glitchy, ultra-sheen vocals that conjures their one-of-a-kind position in the global electronic space.

Of the project, the duo share, “For now, we’re not calibrated to any particular scene, and that’s something we actually like. We’re really trying to do something that feels more like us, drawing from our more distant musical references. We essentially work with a desire for novelty, making sure to offer something different with each track. We’re super happy to have worked on our voices, their textures, and to have delivered an artistically coherent EP. We also tried out a few offbeat experiments that are close to our hearts and make it meaningful to us too (like ‘Giant Cotton Balls’ and ‘Colors Turn Grey’). What motivates us is really giving these super unique tracks greater visibility, in hopes of expanding, as much as we can at our scale, the vision of freedom in music.”

Trailblazers of the spirited new generation of French electronica, earned consistent radio support across the board from triple j, fbi.radio, 3RRR, SYN FM, Kiss FM UK, George FM NZ, KCRW and BBC 1‘s Sian Eleri, who hailed them as “one for the proper speed demons”, alongside praise from tastemakers including Crack Magazine, 10 Magazine, Ones To Watch and more.
