The Electrons - Lo Nuevo

The Electrons' Theme is the next instalment of psychedelic surf rock from  forthcoming album. 

Originally composed as a 3/4 ballad, Tyson realised it was begging for The Electrons' treatment and it instantly became the theme for the hit 1950's scifi series that never was...

The Electrons' Theme

Melbourne-based Kiwi musician/producer Oakley Grenell celebrates 22 years of his independent record label with the new single 'Drop On Em' featuring Max Shotta, out Friday, 5th July 2024.
Grenell teams up with longtime collaborator Max Shotta from the dancehall/reggae group 'The Shottaz' to deliver a hard-hitting, bass-infused sound system smasher 'Drop On Em'.
Max's lyrics boast both confidence and braggadociousness while gliding effortlessly over the confronting production and almost 'metal'-sounding synth riff of the main drop. Battling opponents and dropping lyrical bombs on any naysayers, this is the first single off the new OG LP scheduled for release in October 2024, with singles being released each month until then, showcasing the harder dance floor-oriented production skills of Grenell. It harkens back to the 20-year anniversary of his B-net Award-nominated debut LP 'Uncharted', digitally re-released earlier this year.
Max and Oakley can be seen and heard on their weekly hour of Visual Radio streaming live on Twitch as part of the Friday Night LETOFF, 5-6pm PST. Friday Night LETOFF

“One of my favourite productions to date and an amazing addition to the Central Records Catalogue”.
Melbourne-based Kiwi musician and producer Oakley Grenell is celebrating 22 years of his independent record label with the new single “Madness”, featuring YT and subsequent Remix by Lotek. This 2-pack will be available on Friday, August 9th, 2024.
Grenell teams up with Reggae Dancehall vocalist YT to deliver a hard-hitting, bass-infused, future dancehall track. YT’s double-time lyrics exude masterful confidence and “inna de dance” etiquette, delivering streetwise knowledge over a souped-up, percussive production beat with a bold, in-your- face bassline. “Madness” is the second single from Grenell's upcoming LP, scheduled for release in November 2024. The track showcases Grenell's prowess in harder, dance floor-oriented production, reminiscent of the sound that marked the 20th anniversary of his debut LP, Uncharted, which was digitally re-released earlier this year and nominated for a B-net award.
Lotek has contributed a Soundsystem half-time remix for this special 2-pack release, emphasising dub and live horn instrumentation for listeners seeking a more relaxed vibe.

Written & Produced by Oakley Grenell
