Delivering a release that is nothing short of electrifying, ARKELL LDN's "Live Forever" EP, released on March 28th, merges live drums with electronic music in a way that feels both innovative and exhilarating. With tracks like "Live Forever," "Contact," and "Horizon," the duo has crafted a soundscape that blends drum & bass with electronica, all while maintaining an undeniably raw and energetic live performance essence.
Inspired by the bold, genre-defying artists such as The Prodigy, Bicep, and Rival Consoles, ARKELL LDN draws from festival sound systems and high-octane live shows. Their music feels like a celebration of both the personal and collective highs we seek- whether it’s the rush of a festival crowd or the triumphant feeling of reaching a personal milestone. The duo reflects on their creative vision, saying, "All 3 tracks could work for the final boss or level of a game… basically just a soundtrack to anything that makes you feel really really fucking good, like a natural high for all the right reasons." This sense of euphoria, a perfect blend of nostalgic energy and modern innovation, reverberates through every track.
With their impressive musical backgrounds, John Arkell and Ali Thynne have shaped "Live Forever" into a high-energy journey that speaks to those moments when you’re completely lost in the flow of the moment. Their sound, a perfect fusion of intensity and introspection, offers a soundtrack for anyone seeking to harness that rush of life and adrenaline. It’s a euphoric, boundary-pushing EP that’s impossible not to get caught up in.
