Albums | Polar Bears & Deorro team up on “Front to Back”

Posted by on December 16, 2023

Since releasing their first music in 2021 and playing their first show at Groove Cruise in 2017, future house duo Electric Polar Bears (referred to as Zero and Snowball) have consistently ascended on a trajectory of success. 

Immersing themselves in the world of dance music, the duo concocted a distinctive mythology, claiming to have an Antarctic lab headquarters where they craft perfect party-throwing strategies. This narrative comes to life during their one-of-a-kind performances, where the polar bear-headed duo combine 3000 LED heads, powerful confetti cannons, captivating lasers, frost machines, and an enchanting penguin parade—all set against the backdrop of their vibrant, lively house beats.

As a result, the Electric Polar Bears’ have garnered attention with their infectious sound and magnetic performance style, which have led to collaborations with notable producers and vocalists such as Paris Hilton, Nitti Gritti, and TyDi; support from industry tastemakers like Afrojack, Alison Wonderland, Deorro, and Illenium; performances at renowned festivals, including Decadence Arizona, Water Castle Carnival, Global Dance Festival, Give Thanks, and Amsterdam Dance Event; and a showcase at Paris Hilton‘s Neon Wedding, cementing their status as a rising force in the music industry. The duo’s bi-weekly radio show, Igloo Radio, has also been syndicated to stations on five different continents, including Insomniac Radio.

Earlier this year, they released their uplifting, retro-futurist Where We Started EP and reunited with pop culture icon Paris Hilton – who befriended the duo at EDC Las Vegas 2014 – to remix her 2023 single, “Hot One,” – a track that retains the original’s euphoric club attitude while imbuing the pop single with the duo’s infectious dance music sensibilities.

Now, the Electric Polar Bears are joining forces with the globally-certified, platinum-selling artist Deorro for new single “Front to Back,” a track that’s filled to the brim with big room house stylings and complemented by energetic, lively sound design. 

As long-time friends, the collaboration came about organically – a natural creative partnership that seamlessly combines their musical skillskets and reflects their artistic synergy. Aiming to create a classic Big Room sound, “Front to Back” is a festival-ready anthem that channels nostalgic, timeless energy and euphoria. 

Launching with a pulsating four-on-the-floor beat, “Front to Back” slowly builds with splashy hi-hats, chopped up vocal samples, heart-pumping risers, and syncopated synth lines. The track then drops into an electrifying section of cathartic, hazy nightclub bliss, continuing its throbbing bassline and relentless rhythm for an infectious, high-octane atmosphere that’s sure to set dancefloors ablaze.

Fans can catch Electric Polar Bears play out “Front to Back” at their upcoming performances at Winter Laserland in Flagstaff, AZ and Decadence AZ in Avondale, AZ. 

Beyond packing out dance floors, Electric Polar Bears are dedicated to philanthropic endeavors and leveraging their platform to make a positive impact on the world. For their most recent charitable act, the duo have announced they will be donating 10 percent of their streaming revenue for the remainder of 2023 to Only.one’s Antarctica marine protection initiative – an initiative to protect vital Antarctic ecosystems and deliver the largest act of ocean protection in history.

Working with Deorro on bringing this energetic main stage anthem to life was a humbling experience. We are so grateful to be releasing with a long time friend and pioneer in dance music! When we sat down together to work on this track, we both knew we wanted something with crazy high-energy and that could really turn heads. We are all very happy with how our styles mixed together in this one!” – Electric Polar Bears

Hip-Hop | lil a-lik Releases Therapeutic Single, “Call Me”

Posted by on January 6, 2022

“I’d honestly say it’s about letting go, reminiscing on the past and ultimately deciding to end things because it just wasn’t good for you. “Messages turn green, remember they used to turn just blue” which is what I say in the hook refers to being blocked on iMessage. Basically the messages (blue) stop being instantly delivered and show up green instead. Signifying the end of a relationship and remembering a time before it all ended.” said lil a-lik on his single “Call Me” and it’s meaning. His vibe blends together the influential modern hip-hop style, alongside aspects of rock and emo intertwined, in what is a cutting edge, sonically diverse sound. It’s clear that lil-lik now has a creative vision and knows what he wants from his music, which is such a hard thing to find, but he brings it in spades in “Call Me”.  Tap in above now!

Pop, R&B | Watch The Fierce New Visual for Mulay’s “Antracyte”

Posted by on January 19, 2021

Rising Berlin-based alternative R&B singer-songwriter/producer/artist Mulay just dropped this enticing new music video for her song “Antracyte” ahead of her forthcoming EP that is dropping via Groenland Records. Tune into the sassy single above now and keep your eyes on Mulay, she’s got something special going on here. Read a quote from her after the jump!

“ANTRACYTE is the intro and title track to my debut EP. It’s the soundtrack to the birth of a villain and captures the moment of complete honesty to yourself about the awareness of doing wrong by the ones you love while feeling the inability to turn around. It’s about the desire to taste forbidden fruits, to cross and explore what lies beyond the line and the self-empowering feeling of playing by your own rules defeating the fear of consequences and the power of moral concepts. ANTRACYTE tells a story of contradicting emotions, a story of love, lust, pain and a longing for more. It’s about facing your own darkness and sins, about self-revelation, emancipation and about paying its price, resigning to your fate.”
