MORIS BLAK + Nyxx + Static Starlight Share New Single ‘FERAL’
MORIS BLAK, a cloaked and masked enigmatic presence, which is the audio and visual project led by Boston-based producer, Brian “Blaknoise.”
Being a pioneer of the North American industrial bass genre, MORIS BLAK returns with a brand-new single ‘FERAL’, with multi-disciplinary artist and performer, Nyxx.
The track is a dark techno fierce and energetic offering showcasing both artists’ versatility in vocals and lyrics, with sonic-encompassing elements on the digital and electronic production with a dynamic genre-blending selection of dance, dark club, and house.
‘FERAL’ is the outcome of MORIS BLAK and Static Starlight’s creation. The track was worked on for many years, both digitally and remotely, until they felt that a vocalist would bring the song to life. MORIS BLAK connected with Nyxx to jump on the song. They clicked right away and Nyxx wrote raw and unhinged lyrics for the song, drawing on her past difficulties in the industry. The finished product is what we hear today from their time creating ‘FERAL’.
Speaking on the track, MORIS BLAK & Nyxx share, “FERAL is about being pushed to your breaking point, twisting the knife and flipping the switch with sharp shrapnel-like percussion. It’s vengeful rave music and an anthem for everyone’s villain era.”
MORIS BLAK continues to set himself as a stand-out act as his motivation stems from both his innate creative ability and his sophisticated production techniques.
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
