Akashic Gods do it without breaking a sweat. Her new single, "Gods & Machines," is more than a sonic shift. It's a battle cry. Once a stalwart of electronic music with endorsements from David Guetta and Fatboy Slim, she's now flipping the rulebook and embracing the searing energy of punk rock.
The throbbing basslines and hypnotic drops are no more. Instead, "Gods & Machines" surges forth with snarling guitars, brazen drums, and an urgency that dares you not to listen. It's a high-voltage anthem laced with rebellion, reflecting the rising tension between humankind and the onslaught of encroaching technology. Her vocals slice through the chaos like a knife, gritty, fierce, and unabashed. This is a declaration.
This evolution might catch you off guard if you've followed Akashic Gods, but the signs have always been there. And from supporting SHALAMAR to rousing performances as part of McMillan Cancer Music Festival, she's always resisted being put into boxes. In 2011, her magnetic presence at Arthur Barker's 'Return to New York' event and the BBC Radio 1's Live Roadshows cemented her stage command, regardless of genre.
Her artistry extends beyond music. Part of The Daily Mirror Newspaper's 'Streets of Peace' campaign, she's one of the artists willing to use her voice to enact change. It was as if winning Notting Hill's Local Rockstar award wasn't sufficient proof of her impact.
"Gods & Machines" is not just a reinvention; it's a rebirth. It shows that the Akashic Gods aren't tied to one sound or scene. She excels at change. Punk rock has found a new disruptor, and she's out to shake things up.
