Fresh off the Back of Topping the Charts, ANOTR Unveils New Music
Following an explosive year in which they topped the charts with one of the summer’s defining dance tracks, the prominent Amsterdam duo ANOTR is back with fresh vibes that are sure to ignite dance floors worldwide. Their latest single, ‘Out of My Head,’ is set for release on October 15 through their own label, No Art. This new track showcases the duo’s distinctive sound, combining infectious grooves and exhilarating energy.
A Sound That Captivates
‘Out of My Head’ is characterized by a shimmering disco-funk guitar riff that captures the essence of early 2000s house music, perfect for both the dance floor and casual listening. Layers of uplifting vocal harmonies intertwine with a soulful house groove, creating an undeniably catchy anthem. Notably, the track is further enhanced by the lush addition of live strings, arranged and recorded by a talented nine-piece ensemble of violinists and cellists, giving the production a rich, organic feel.
The Creative Process Behind the Music
The inspiration for this latest single sparked during the duo’s inaugural songwriting retreat at their newly acquired studio house situated in the Dutch countryside. Having previously sought creative influence in rented spaces across the Netherlands, NYC, and Ibiza, Jesse and Oz have taken a significant step by investing in their own bespoke studio. This dedicated space allows them to immerse themselves in creation, no longer confined to temporary settings. It’s a new chapter, where creativity thrives amidst the beauty of nature and a collaborative atmosphere.
A Relaxed Environment Sparks Creativity
ANOTR fosters a unique approach to music-making, referring to their songwriting retreats as just that—retreats instead of sessions. This difference reflects their belief in the importance of a relaxed, open environment, where collaboration and connection take precedence over conventional studio pressure. In this nurturing space, the duo can explore their artistic visions more freely.
Returning to Their Roots
With ‘Out of My Head,’ ANOTR marks a return to their roots of club-focused singles after releasing their much-acclaimed third studio album, ‘Withness,’ earlier this summer. The rising demand for NGOTR’s music has reached staggering heights, particularly following the monumental success of their previous hit ‘Talk To You Ft. 54 Ultra.’ This track has amassed over 250 million streams, surged to No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, hit the prestigious No. 1 spot on the UK Dance Chart, and topped Beatport’s Top 100.
Touring Success and Live Performances
The duo’s success extends beyond streaming numbers. ANOTR has dazzled audiences during their live performances, having recently sold out two nights at Alexandra Palace in London and drawing crowds for their shows at UNVRS Ibiza. Their live sets are not just performances, but experiences that connect thousands of fans in cities such as Miami, Manchester, and Lisbon. The pair is also busy planning their very first No Art Festival in Amsterdam, integrating their creative vision within a festival setting.
Channeling Momentum into New Energy
With ‘Out of My Head,’ ANOTR channels their current momentum into a track crafted for expectant dancefloors around the world. The energy and vibrancy of their new release invite fans to immerse themselves in a euphoric celebration of sound and movement, making it a must-listen as they continue to shape the future of electronic music.
