Love & Electrik are like an explosion of flashing lights and
glassy sound. Welcome to their universe where vintage synthesizers,
vocoders & talkbox coexist with a voice that has a timeless soul.
Together their music takes you to a familiar past: the groove of Nu
Shooz to the dripping sex appeal of Minneapolis Funk, the dance vibes
of 80's Freestyle music to the intergalactic synths of Paul Hardcastle,
the playfulness of The Jets to the smoothness of the S.O.S Band.
Love & Electrik gets you with a classic style but also sends you
light years into an unknown but beautiful future. Enter Roxy, a quirky,
yet sexy woman that embodies the LOVE…Love for a soulsonic force that
guides her voice and her life. Enter Kevin, he is the ELECTRIK…he’s the
pulse, the manipulator of rhythm and synthesizer of sound!
Born in the 80's, music dominated Roxy’s childhood as her British
parents lived a life of “surburban rock stars”, throwing wild house
parties every weekend. Roxy was surrounded by subwoofers pumping out
classic new- wave 80's music, including Roxy Music, after which her
parents auspiciously named her. From hanging out in her Dad's stereo
store to learning how to dance from her Mom to being inspired to sing
by her singer/performer Granny and jamming with her older brother on
the drums, Roxy was raised in a life of high fidelity. Her parents love
of new-wave led to Roxy’s later obsession with electronic music, with
its heavy use of synthesizers.
Meanwhile Kevin was growing up in the 80's. Classical music recitals
were boring the funk out of him. He began to fall in love with taking
apart electronics, which fed his curious soul. Eventually, Kevin found
a way to bridge his two interests of music and electronics and he
became a lover of synthesizers, leading him on a journey into
electronic music production.
After years of development and discovery, the duo established their
distinct vision, catapulting them towards another musical entity; Chin
Injeti & DJ Khalil (from The New Royales) and the Vancouver
collective The Hastings Set. Under the tutelage of Chin's experience
and production, Love & Electrik is now on course heading towards
another explosion.
With the sexy, playful single, “Sex Video” now available on
Beatport.com and coming soon to iTunes, through Tremendous Records, the
duo have already been chosen as the opening acts for the likes of
Chromeo, Amanda Blank and Devlin & Darko (Spank Rock DJ's). With
all this momentum, Love & Electrik aren’t just heading towards any
other explosion but instead, a Big Bang!
