CHKLZ Pays Homage to Okilly Dokilly with Groovy Remix of Simpsons-Featured ‘White Wine Spritzer’
Hold onto your turntables and prep your mosh pits because CHKLZ is back with a sensational remix that’s set to be the soundtrack of your summer! The DJ/producer duo, formed by two former members of the iconic Nedal band Okilly Dokilly, are dropping a house-infused remix of their hit single “White Wine Spritzer”. Known for their outrageous yet beloved tribute to The Simpsons, Okilly Dokilly rocked the metal world with their Ned Flanders-themed music, and now, CHKLZ is ready to groove their way into new hearts.
Okilly Dokilly, established in 2015, turned heads with their unique brand of “Nedal”, a heavy metal genre inspired by none other than the perennially positive Ned Flanders from The Simpsons. Decked out in green sweaters and mustaches, the band members fully embraced their quirky persona, blending humor with hardcore metal in a way that resonated with fans globally. Their inventive concept reached a peak when they were featured in the end credits of The Simpsons episode “I’m Just a Girl Who Can’t Say D’oh”, with the music video for “White Wine Spritzer” taking center stage.
As the band’s journey evolved, so did the artistic aspirations of its members. Enter CHKLZ, the brainchild of DJ iLL Choppo and LeMarshawn Jean, who have swapped their Ned Flanders get-up for the decks and beats of the house music scene. The transition from Nedal to house music might seem like a leap, but for CHKLZ, it’s a natural progression that honors their roots while exploring new sonic landscapes.
“We are very excited to be releasing this track on Syn. We feel like the essence of this Remixerino captures and connects all the dots of our past, present, and future!” – DJ iLL Choppo of CHKLZ
Brooklyn duo Dancing In Tongues return with their new single “Petri Dish” and it lands like a quiet exhale in a loud world.
Built from soft-focus electronics, delicate rhythms, and vocals that feel almost whispered into the room, “Petri Dish” is less a traditional single and more a suspended moment. It drifts, pulses, and holds its breath in all the right places.
The track is the first glimpse of their upcoming 4-track EP of the same name, due 3rd July, and was written and produced in Berlin with Lucas Herweg (LLUCID) and Jacob Bergson (TAUT), working together as Designer.
At its core, “Petri Dish” comes from something deeply personal: the duo’s experience with IVF. Rather than framing it in heavy-handed terms, the song captures the emotional weather of it all; the waiting, the hope that arrives faster than you expect and the strange stillness that sits alongside it.
That duality runs through everything here. The production feels weightless but never empty with shimmering synths that blur at the edges, textures gently fold into one another, and the rhythm never quite settles into certainty. It moves the way thoughts do when you’re waiting for news you can’t control.
Vocally, Sarah Martin-Nuss stays close to the mic, almost conversational at times, which makes the emotional impact feel even more direct. There’s no performance of grandeur here, just presence, honesty, and space to feel things as they are.
Dancing In Tongues have always worked in that in-between zone where electronic music becomes something more tactile and personal, and “Petri Dish” is no exception.
