Powertrip is a dubby new electronic track from producer and singer and producer Ney Liqa. Raised by a mother who was a vocalist in all-female punk band Mögel, and exposed to R&B by her older brothers, Liqa exudes a particularly eclectic and dynamic musical sensibility.
The sound Ney creates manifests in Powertrip’s dark and aggressive production style — mixing equal parts techno and R&B to conjure something trippy that pulsates with a brooding menace. The darkness in the track reflects the inspiration behind it, as Ney Liqa explains:
“I was quite angry when I wrote the song I had had an argument with a friend, so I wrote it imagining what it would be like to confront them in a huge way”
Powertrip comes from Ney Liqa’s new EP, Fade 2 Black, also out now. Listen to the track below:
