The new album is the continuation of the iconic counterpart Confessions on a Dance Floor. Madonna sums up her new record best by quoting the first few lines of her song, One Step Away, “People think that dance music is superficial, but they’ve got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it’s a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language.” Madonna adds “When Stuart Price and I first started working on this record, this was our manifesto”: We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies. These are things that we've been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect — with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It's about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people. Sound, light, and vibration Reshape our perceptions Pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.

Mary in the Junkyard's highly anticipated debut album release! Bursting with creativity and experimentation it is the perfect reflection of the band and one of the most enticing British debut albums in recent memory: a blend of dark fables, intricate melodies and moments of revelation. An original work that is a world in itself and an expression of true creativity. Produced by Oli Bayston (Everything is Recorded, Olivia Dean), Ben Baptie (The Strokes, Young fathers, Little Simz)The artwork takes us into the journey of Clari in a past life as a sailor, welcoming us into the lore of the album. Hot off their sold out live tours and US support for Wet Leg, the band are poised to build upon their critical support so far, from an excellent foundation of B list support at 6music, NME Covers, KEXP sessions and fashion press.

On their fifth album, Bliss, they shake up the perception of the Kettering-formed four-piece with a record that ventures into electronic territory while staying true to their core DNA. Euphoric and melancholic melodies of late ‘90s dance music blend with psych-tinged riffs and loops to create something fresh. Though the band missed the late ‘90s rave culture firsthand, Bliss channels that era’s bittersweet euphoria, drawing inspiration from Faithless, Underworld, Prodigy, Air, Röyksopp, Moby, Massive Attack, Orbital, Portishead, and more. Psych and dance share a natural lineage, with repetition, loops, and trance-like states forming the album’s foundation.
