2000s electro house: punchy kick, bright clap, hard pump. The hook starts ta-ta-da-DAM and locks in. “House rules — say it, pay it.” Dame Cha’s signature: keyhole, 2-note bell, soft power.


[Hook]
LOCKSTEP — click-click, go.
House rules — say it, pay it.
Key turn — ding then glow.
Pay truth — then lose control.

[Verse]
Neon sweat, bass on skin,
Chrome smile — I’m walking in.
Card taps twice, door slides,
Low risk? Nah — high ride.
Talk clean, talk real,
Velvet law — hard steel.
Ding / dim — floor in sync,
Name on the list — ink.

LOCKSTEP (ta-ta-da-DAM)

Charlie Pink & The Bits is the post-human music project of French artist Charlie Abigaël Pink, who appears under different aliases including Dame Charlie.
She writes the stories, scars and love letters; her ghost band of AIs — The Bits — plays the music.
Together they turn queer love, dysphoria, healing and all the messy parts of being alive into neon-noir electronic nocturnes.
AI assumed, never hidden — no deepfakes, no stolen voices, just her life fed to the machine.

Releases include the EPs MANQUÉE, HÉLYOTROPE, Sutures in the Night and Néons sous les paupières.
