Bassvictim Unveil Ambitious New LP ‘PEACE + WAR’
The London electronic pop outfit Bassvictim is gearing up for the release of their latest studio project, PEACE + WAR. Scheduled for a November 6 release through their own VOTB label, the expansive 19-track collection promises to be a deep dive into the duality of human emotion, specifically exploring the tension between “vulnerability and volatility.”
The duo has offered a taste of what’s to come with their lead single, ‘White Flag.’ The track masterfully balances intimate, whispered vocal performances against a backdrop of aggressive, high-tempo percussion designed for peak-time dancefloor impact. As the electronic scene continues to evolve, this project stands out for its willingness to blend pop sensibilities with raw, club-ready intensity.

Blackhaine Returns with ‘Northside Needs Me’
Preston’s own Blackhaine-a visionary who bridges the worlds of choreography and experimental music-is back with his latest offering, ‘Northside Needs Me.’ This track serves as the second glimpse into his highly anticipated album, Saints In The Wethouse, which is slated for a November 13 release via the influential XL Recordings.
The production is handled by the enigmatic Wraith9, providing a dark, atmospheric foundation that perfectly complements the track’s intensity. Notably, the song features a guest appearance from Jamaican dancehall icon Mad Cobra, adding a layer of rhythmic weight to the composition. The release is accompanied by a striking visual piece helmed by Paris-based director Mau Morgó, further cementing Blackhaine’s reputation for creating immersive, multi-disciplinary art. With the experimental music market seeing a 15% increase in cross-genre collaborations this year, Blackhaine’s latest work is a prime example of how modern artists are successfully blurring the lines between dancehall, grime, and avant-garde electronics.
