Ineffekt shares new single ‘Two Of Us’ ft. Luna Morgenstern
Rising 21-year-old DJ and producer Ineffekt today shares ‘Two Of Us’, the final single ahead of his new EP High Hopes, out next month on August 11 via Intercept Records. Ineffekt has spent the summer debuting tracks from the EP across the European festival circuit which included a packed out 3000-cap tent at Best Kept Secret festival in The Netherlands in June – listen back to his set HERE. He will also play alongside Peggy Gou as part of the DGTL x Gou Talk showcase during Amsterdam Dance in October. More details HERE.
Inspired by some of his favourite pop-leaning electronic artists, ‘Two Of Us’ is a bass-driven 2-step track featuring hooky vocals from long-term collaborator Luna Morgenstern. It’s an introspective and sleek contribution to an otherwise club-oriented body of work. Speaking on the track, Ineffekt explains: “‘Two of Us’ is ultimately a sidestep into a relationship-type story in a mostly individualistic narrative about having hopes/expectations in life that mostly forms the EP. Luna Morgenstern effortlessly writes stories that feel deeply intimate while simultaneously give some necessary verbal clarity on the EP. After working on her last record and remixing one of her singles, it only felt natural to work together again on the new project. Over the years I’ve always been taking direct inspiration from alt-pop favourites like Carolina Polachek, Doss, A.G. Cook etc., so it was only a matter of time that side would show up more on my records.’”
Ineffekt cleverly approaches sound design with an enigmatic attitude that makes him difficult to pin down and equally hard to ignore. Through a blend of satin vocals, dreamlike melodies and instantly distinctive drum patterns, his productions result in colourful euphoria made for peak-time dancefloors. For his forthcoming EP, Ineffekt has delved deeper into club sounds, with a compelling pop-edge; it’s an eclectic and progressive EP that cements Ineffekt as one of the leading voices in a bubbling hybrid scene.
Priding himself on drawing from influences that span the full spectrum of contemporary music, Ineffekt’s music reaches for stylistically diverse sounds including breakbeat, techno and alt-pop, as well as hints from a new wave of colourful electronica that has been developing in recent years. Having stirred significant interest in his native country of The Netherlands for his debut releases Kora (Album, 2021) and ‘Catch The Sun / A Blackbird Rose’ (EP, 2022) on Intercept, as well as a string of remixes including Coloray’s ‘Blinded’ and Avalon Emerson’s ‘Karaoke Song’, Ineffekt is primed to take his pop-flavoured electronica to the masses.
The past two years of work resulted in esteemed artists and platforms in the left-field embracing his output and within his short career, Ineffekt has already supported the likes of Avalon Emerson, Bicep, Bonobo, Mall Grab, Saoirse and Roi Perez as well as shelling down sets at DGTL, Lowlands, Best Kept Secret, Dekmantel Selectors and prominent Dutch clubs De School and WAS. This summer, Ineffekt will be sharing festival stages with the likes of HAAi, Ben UFO, Sedef Adasi, Job Jobse and Honey Dijon amongst many others.
