“Sounds like disco never died”- Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music.

“a very seductive groove…7/10”- Louder Than War.

Electronic force of nature Zkeletonzhave been carving outtheir own singular path in the music industry in recent years, headlining their own self-promoted London gigs, tearing up festival stages at the likes of All Points East and Alex James’ Feastival, recording a live session for Scott Mills, and gaining love and support from BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, and many more.

The trio continue their mission for world domination this year with their first ever UK tour, which is already underway and features a new London headline date at Oslo In Hackney and support slots with Craig Charles and Martin Kemp (Spandau Ballet).

Zkeletonz also have their ‘Enhance Your Dance’ debut album currently in production at TYX, Tileyard Studios, King’s Cross where they recently won 10 hours of free time as the best on the night at their A&R mixer event hosted by Sarah Beaumont (Defected Records).

With crowd-funding support from their ever-growing and passionate fanbase, the album is due to feature collabs with; Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip & Mercury Prize winner for Ghostpoet), Jamiroquai bassist Paul Turner and Alex Gopher (Ed Banger Records). The next taster of the album to be unveiled will be new single ‘Lonely’ out 13th September.

‘Lonely’ is an uplifting infectious, groovy banger that sparkles through a vibrant glitterball of revolving, kaleidoscopic bass loaded electronics. The track locks the listener deep into the mind of Zkeletonz singer Gav where he is “Researching on the other side of life”, wrestling with his digital spirit equivalents, who offer up paranoia, temptation and play.

The band’s own production on ‘Lonely’ by electronic drummer and multi-instrumentalist member Ed Trotsky (also Runrummer, Coin Operated Boy) weaves a sonic pallet replete with 1980s synth wizardry that evokes classic pop from the Pet Shop Boys and Human League, combined with tasteful electronica, new rave and indie sleaze sounds typified today by the likes of Confidence Man, Sofi Tukker and The Dare.

The gritty POV video for the single, directed by Adam McHattie (Star Wars, Rocketman, Guardians of the Galaxy, see IMDB), subverts contemporary social media culture with inspiration from the classic filmography and hedonism of ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ by the Prodigy. It was shot at one of the band’s own wild ‘hyperfunk’ club nights in Shoreditch, East London.

Join the party and catch Zkeletonz at the following dates in 2024. Tickets and more info here: https://zkeletonz.com/

Aro Rose Releases Emotional New Single “Live Without You” — Now Available Worldwide

Published

on

Genre-blending singer/songwriter Aro Rose has officially dropped her highly anticipated new single, “Live Without You,” and it’s now streaming everywhere music lives.

A hauntingly honest track about love, loss, and letting go, “Live Without You” showcases Aro’s signature dark pop aesthetic—think cinematic piano lines, ghostly synths, and lyrics that hit where it hurts. It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. It’s that 3AM track you cry to…and then play again.

“I wrote this one straight from my gut,” Aro says. “It’s about that moment when you realize you’ve outgrown someone you thought you couldn’t live without. There’s sadness in it—but also strength.”

Self-taught and self-made, Aro Rose first turned heads with her distinctive sound that sits somewhere between Lana Del Rey’s noir romanticism and Fiona Apple’s emotional honesty. Since stepping away from the major label system, she’s carved out a fiercely independent path—and “Live Without You” is her boldest, most personal release to date.

The single is produced by longtime collaborators Gabriel Maciocia and Robert Federici, who help bring Aro’s dark visions to life with lush, atmospheric production that lets her voice shine through the shadows.

“Live Without You” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
