Track Of The Day: Aphty Khéa – ‘Pengvibe’

A captivating blend of glitchy beats and hypnotic synth samples, Aphty Khéa has shared her latest single ‘Pengvibe’. Released via her own label Midnite Kanni, the track is an energetic offering inspired by the producer’s activism.

Currently based in Kreuzberg in Berlin, Aphty Khéa is a half Greek, half British artist who combines sonic and visual elements to create her stimulating, exciting electronic music. ‘Pengvibe’ and its accompanying video are a shining example of this. Khéa’s fast-paced editing matches the vivid beats of the track, designed to empower listeners and spread good vibes – or “pengvibes” as she’s accurately dubbed them.

The single initially came to life in a refugee squat in Athens, and the visuals take fans on an intimate journey through the shared experiences of multiple individuals and intertwined friend groups, many of whom met at the squat. It offers a deeply personal perspective on “an ordinary life”, from London house parties and walks through Berlin, to Lahore markets and Kaohsiung dragon boat races.

Watch the nostalgic video for ‘Pengvibe’ below and follow Aphty Khéa on Facebook & Spotify for more updates.

Track Of The Day: Song Sung – ‘The Mind’s Eye’

A dreamy musing on dual feelings of hope and doubt, Song Sung have shared their latest single ‘The Mind’s Eye’. Lifted from their upcoming debut album, This Ascension Is Ours, set for release on 31st July via Night Time Stories, the track is a tumbling, ethereal soundscape that shimmers with positivity.

Formed of twin sisters Georgina and Una McGeough, Song Sung grew up in Monaghan, close to the Northern Ireland border, before moving stateside to New York a decade ago. Since then, the pair have been dabbling in music software and creating their own sounds, working with David Holmes (Unloved) to produce their debut EP, I Surrender, which they released earlier this year.

Speaking about their new track, the band explain: “This song wrestles with doubt, but is fought with hope. It’s provocative and resilient and in a way, quite anthemic. We can fall down together, but in defiance, we will stand up forever.” The band’s hazy vocals and lush synths lure listeners in to this blissful state.

Listen to ‘The Mind’s Eye’ below and follow Song Sung on Facebook & Spotify for more updates.
