Jersey’s club queen UNIIQU3 releases ‘Microdosing’ — her new single, the start of a new artistic phase and the first taste of a forthcoming project on Local Action that represents her most ambitious and impressive music yet.

One of the most important figures in worldwide club music, UNIIQU3 has made a habit of breaking down barriers. Whether it’s becoming the first Jersey Club artist to perform at Coachella, the first black female artist to play Holy Ship, appearing in Vogue or creating music for the WNBA, she’s an artist that’s constantly levelling up — and that’s a trend that continues on ‘Microdosing’, a new single both produced and voiced by her.

The first single from a forthcoming project on Local Action (home of India Jordan, Finn, Dawn Richard, DJ Q and more) that will be revealed in the coming months, ‘Microdosing’ places UNIIQU3’s instantly recognisable voice and songwriting ability front and centre, pairing a timeless house beat with an addictive hook. Drawing from New Jersey’s legacy of classic house as much as it does the city’s role in the evolution of contemporary club music, it’s further proof of UNIIQU3’s status as one of electronic music’s premiere artists.

With the bloom of spring on the horizon, Oakland-based multidisciplinary artist Bored Lord (real name Daria Lourd) teams up with Brooklyn’s Loveless Records to present her debut vinyl release Cybernetic Romance, available starting March 23.

Written during the spring of 2019 with the intention of “stirring queer romance on the dancefloor” the club-ready record features three seductive anthems from the prolific producer and remixer alongside a chilled out remix from Discwoman’s student.

Known for sound tracking countless late night raves worldwide, the Memphis-born artist cut her teeth in her hometown with the Rare Nnudes collective before joining the DIY rave scene in Oakland, California as part of the Trash Cvlt collective, releasing nearly a dozen projects between 2013 and 2017. With a short stint in Los Angeles before going back to Oakland in 2020, Daria joined forces with the Knightwerk imprint and released 2018’s Who Is She? EP followed by her critically acclaimed 2019 album Transexual Rave Hymns. Described as a “meditative, spiritual approach to dance music” the album framed the monolith of Club music in a striking duality in which introspection is no longer antithetical to propulsive rhythms meant to move bodies, but entirely necessary.

Cybernetic Romance carries that mission forward, taking with confidence the tried and true concepts of Club music and giving it the kind of work out that only someone truly fluent in the language could. All three originals wrap familiar vocal samples and hypnotic broken rhythms in warm pads and subtle atmospheric licks, giving it both utility and depth. Rounded out in true rave fashion, Queen’s based educator and multi-instrumentalist stud1nt delivers a 93 BPM house remix that gentle wanders along, perfectly suited for the side room and post-rave comedowns.

“Cybernetic Romance” by Bored Lord is available starting 20 March 2020 from Loveless Records on limited edition 12” vinyl (via Lobster Distribution) and from all digital outlets.
