Albums | Future house maestros Electric Polar Bears bring the heat with heart-thumping single “Fever”

Posted by on January 28, 2024

Future house maestros Electric Polar Bears are kicking off 2024 with a series of singles that seamlessly combine innovation with the unwavering nature of their signature sound. 

Staying true to their unique persona and branding, the Electric Polar Bears (who go by the names Zero and Snowball) have embraced a persona that combines the playful and quirky charm of polar bears with the high-energy world of electronic dance music. Known for their knack of curating a fun and whimsical atmosphere, the duo craft full sensory experiences where they 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.

Their signature party-starting antics combined with their infectious sound and magnetic performance style have led to collaborations with notable artists 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.

2023 was huge for the polar bear-headed duo, a monumental year that saw them release their uplifting, retro-futurist Where We Started EP; reunite with pop culture icon Paris Hilton to remix her 2023 single, “Hot One“; and join forces with globally-certified, platinum-selling artist Deorro to release their energetic, big room house single “Front to Back.”

Now, fresh off the heels from their Decadence Arizona performance, Electric Polar Bears unveil their electrifying single “Fever” – a boundary-pushing track whose bouncy, vibrant presentation encourages listeners to release tension, lose themselves in the music, and let the rhythm take control. Expertly crafted via the duo’s finely tuned creative synergy – the song flexes a seamless concoction of Snowball’s keyboard skills and Zero’s rhythmic prowess – “Fever” sees Electric Polar Bears embark on a euphoric, infectious journey that’s sure set the dance music scene ablaze. 

Fever” kicks off with mesmerising arpeggiated chord progressions that hypnotically weave through the composition, accompanied by a vocal sample that chants “I got that fever.” Next, the track builds with anticipation before bursting into a cacophony of explosive rhythms and bass – a heart-thumping house beat that kicks off 2024 in style. 

Aimed to propel listener’s into a world of dancefloor bliss, “Fever” acutely embodies the next chapter of Electric Polar Bear’s journey, a track destined to leave an indelible mark on listeners across the globe. 

We’re thrilled to unleash ‘Fever,’ our latest single that’s set to turn up the heat and melt the ice. It’s a track that fuses our love for frosty vibes with fiery rhythms, creating a dance anthem that’s both cool and hot at the same time! – Electric Polar Bears

Albums | Future house duo Electric Polar Bears drop Where We Started EP, with new single “Control”??

Posted by on October 7, 2023

Since releasing their first music in 2021 and playing their first show at Groove Cruise in 2017, future house duo Electric Polar Bears (who go by the names Zero and Snowball) have been on a constant upward trajectory. 

They established themselves in the dance music world with a unique mythology, claiming to have an Antarctic lab headquarters where they concoct perfect party-throwing strategies. They’ve fleshed-out this worldbuilding even further at their stand-out shows, where the polar bear-headed duo combine 3000 LED heads, powerful confetti cannons, dazzling lasers, frost machines, and a dedicated penguin parade backdropped by their vibrant, bouncy house beats.

As a result, the Electric Polar Bears’ infectious sound and magnetic performance style have led to collaborations with producers and vocalists such as Paris Hilton, Nitti Gritti, and TyDi; support from industry tastemakers like Afrojack, Alison Wonderland, Deorro, and Illenium; performances at festivals around the world including Decadence Arizona, Water Castle Carnival, and Global Dance Festival; and a showcase at Paris Hilton’s Neon Wedding.

Now, the duo unveils their Where We Started EP, a 3-track package that broadens their artistic scope and is an expression of their musical and philosophical sensibilities. 

Following their 2022 tour, the Electric Polar Bears found a renewed sense of purpose after connecting with their fans every night – an assortment of communal experiences that showed them the raw power of electronic music culture. From these moments, the duo decided to lean into their uplifting aesthetics, crafting a vintage house sound that’s filtered through a futuristic presentation.

The result of this approach is their new Where We Started EP, which, through its creative, euphoric mix of analog synths, drum machines, and contemporary digital softwares, pays homage to classic eras of dance music while simultaneously introducing audiences to new sounds. 

Fans got their first taste of the EP with self-titled track “Where We Started” – a euphoric cut with a groovy, head-spinning beat that transports listeners to the inception of Electric Polar Bears’ musical journey.

Next was, “Motion,” a vintage house cut incorporating nostalgic sound design imbued with shimmering, futuristic production. 

Today, Electric Polar Bears release “Control” as the final track on the EP. With its heart-pumping, bass-infused house beats and contagiously melodic chord progressions, the track is a perfect way to immerse listeners into the Electric Polar Bears world and evoke the feel-good vibes of their shows.

The track kicks off with an epic, cinematic orchestra hit before giving way to the song’s central melodic riff. Then, atmospheric claps, head-spinning risers, and stuttering drum percussion build into the song’s head-spinning, dance floor-igniting drop. 

With scintillating house hi-hats, deep bass synths, and thumping kickdrums, “Control” is an acute embodiment of Electric Polar Bears’ crowd-winning skillset. And as a track designed to kick off a set, the song is true to its name with its ability to effortlessly move an audience.

Events | Making Good Decisions at Global Dance Festival

Posted by on July 18, 2013

 

This weekend marks the 11th running of Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks, presented by Colorado’s own electronic pioneers, Triad Dragons. Now, this may come off a little strong, but Global is honestly the reason why I fell in love with electronic music in the first place. Not trying to sound like a total n00b to the electro game because quite frankly I was listening to Basement Jaxx, Ace of Base and Fatboy Slim’s “Sun Is Shining”  before I could even read the lyrics so the point I’m actually trying to make here is that Global made me fall in love with the electronic music of our generation (I will NOT reference the E-word, ugh gag me). But the unique thing about Global isn’t the elaborate stage production, yoga circles or 12-hour long DJ sets but the fact that founders Ha Hau and Kostas Kouremenos have stayed true to their mission, and that is bringing in fresh talent and keeping up with the changing tides of the music industry. Not only that, it’s a beautiful amphitheater with natural yet incredible acoustics, with the nicest, most genuine, borderline eclectic crowd out there in the festival circuit. The fans, the producers, the shot callers, there all there for one thing, and that’s the music.

In fact, if there’s one thing you can take away from Global be it that you are presented with the opportunity of witnessing some of the most talented upcoming acts mere moments before their career takes off. Take a look at past lineups and you’ll see what I mean. Even looking at this year’s, you might roll your eyes and pout, But, ehh, where’s Deadmau5? No Armin? What about Porter? Well, you’re a few years too late for those guys, but hey, without further ado, I’m gonna clue you in on everyone you need to see this weekend and why. So when your friends show you some average Instagram photo taken from only the 1,000th row back at Sander van Doorn’s Tomorrowworld set, you can shit on them with your epic, close-up, well-filtered, brilliantly contrasted shot with the Denver Skyline in the background. You’re welcome.
