Drawing us in with a pulsating, static synth, expanding with astral 8-bit riffs, growling ad libs and divergent drums with panning textures, Erotika Dabra opens EAT ME/DRINK ME with poetic prowess and metaphorical prose. Needless to say, we are captivated by the concept of the spoken word performance!
The opus expands with intensity and depth as Erotika Dabra invites us to eat and drink them. The adventure feels like an incantation, an awakening – laced with sex magick – in line with the artist’s cleverly created moniker!
Speaking on the mind-bending and inspiring track, the artiste – known for merging intricate electronic production with the physical artistry of pole dance – confesses “It’s the shattering of the divide between fantasy and reality. The moan of sheer ecstasy when I realised the fantasy I had used to navigate the darkness had woven its magic into the life around me, and there is sexual power within.”
We deeply appreciate the internal empowerment and the cerebral depth that Erotika Dabra manifests with their message. The sound design is exquisite – perfect for a live performance at a club night like Torture Garden.
EAT ME/DRINK ME is set to come with a visually astounding music video that brings the notions of the song to life visually, featuring choreography by Ellixir and Erotika Dabra alongside dancers from TBR Studios, which we cannot wait to experience.
In the meantime, we have added EAT ME/DRINK ME to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream Erotika Dabra‘s wider discography, including I Wonder (for Me) and Sparkles, and explore their Instagram, which features lots of their past work!
