AXLS release their new single 'diskotek'
AXLS are an electronic trio formed two years ago in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Their music is an odyssey of electronica, cool synths, heavenly vocals and low-slung bass. They take influence from old school electro like Kraftwerk and The Human League, mixed with modern bands like CHVRCHES and LCD Soundsystem.
Their debut concept album, First Contact, arrived earlier this year. The album followed the tale of humanity’s battle with an alien race and each track represents a different chapter of the story. The group are now planning to release a few singles before moving onto their next big project. ‘discotek’ is an electropop dance track and is the first to be released.
“‘discotek’ is a dance track, packed with electropop goodness,” say the band. “The song is a floor filler and represents how it feels to get lost in good music, that feeling when you’re dancing your heart out and just don’t want to stop. Music can transport a person away from their worries and allow them to live in the moment – that’s what ‘discotek’ is all about.”
