Having released the sold-out Fine as Fuck (Scream Club f. Peaches)/I'm Going Crazy EP on his own Rock Machine record label a couple of years ago, electro-sleazer Electrosexual is back with some of new music!
Electrosexual is a Berlin based "one man electronic band" who uses analog synths and a little help from some awesome friends to create music that, as Rough Trade Records describes it, "is standing somewhere between the rawness of the current french scene and the funk of Chicks on Speed". The song we were lucky enough to get from him, "Break You Nice" is no exception to that. It has 2 or 3 funky basslines running under and over swirling synths, an 80's backbeat, diva vocals, space noises, Scream Club rapping, and maybe even a Madonna sample! There's a lot going on in the song, including more guest appearances from Zoe Vermillion (of Vermillion Lies) and Mz Sunday Luv, but it's never too much and everything combines to make a fun, upbeat jam. It's a 4-minute good time that SHOULD find it's way into your queer dance party mix soon!
Electrosexual is currently working on a full-length album with appearances from Shunda K (of Yo Majesty), Nicky Clik, Jenna Riot, and Sheila Chipperfield (of Elastica), amongst others, and is working on a project with Mirah! He also recently did remixes of SSION's "Ah Ma" and "Sucker for Your Sound" from the Sheffield based band I Monster, so be sure to check those out! In addition to all of that--Electrosexual will be playing some shows in Europe, so if you are like my friend Syd and just moved to Berlin--Check him out live! As if that wasn't enough, Electrosexual just released a Spring mix tape, jump over here for that one.
