8Kays Shares Two-tracker “Viking / Magma”

Interstellar Recordings – Insomniac Records’ home for melodic house and techno – just dropped the new double single “Viking / Magma” from Kyiv, Ukraine-based sound producer and live act 8Kays (aka Iryna Shvydka).

“Viking is one of the tracks I like the most from my recent productions. I do find inherent to the sound I want to pursue: melodic, sensual and effective And ‘Magma’ is all about power, which I wanted to demonstrate in the track. The volcano was my first idea when I heard the track with my eyes closed, it resonated at the sound/meaning level for me.” – 8Kays

8Kays is making her debut appearance on Insomniac’s Interstellar Recordings imprint with her new two-track offering. The lead track finds her enlisting the vocal prowess of Aussie-born, Germany-based singer/songwriter Kyle Pearce, a multi-platinum certified sensation known for his work alongside Vintage Culture, Tube & Berger, Klangkarussell. “Viking” balances Pearce’s poignant, breathy vocal delivery with a meticulously crafted melodic techno groove, imbued with a sense of grandiosity via its galloping rhythm, cosmic atmospherics, growling bassline pulses, and rippling synth leads riddled with peak-time energy.

On the B-side, “Magma” takes is position as the perfect counterpart, a gripping melodic techno instrumental propelled along by dark, driving drums, pulsating basslines, warbling detuned melodies that are met with by whirring pads, gurgling acid licks and molten call-and-response. “Viking / Magma” is out now on all mayor streaming platforms.
