BOYOCA release “Elasticity”

Tim Boyce and Lewis Carr, the Birmingham-based multi instrumentalist duo who make up BOYOCA, craft transformative electronic music with a tangible organic nature, combining real world sounds with electronic beats and grooves. Equally influenced by the dynamics of dance floor music, as much as the human quality of live instrumentation, they tread the line between the decks and the guitars, the dance floor and stage, the electronic and the organic.

Commenting on their unique sound, the producers explain; “the ‘green house’ sound is about distilling everything that’s dear to us in music – big beats, real instrumentation, songwriting and dance rhythms.”

A melding of sounds, formed through wide reaching musical exposure, which reaches back to early disco and following through to early house, hardcore, big beat and many other sub-genres that have filled dancefloors through the decades.

Running parallel to their fascination with the dancefloor, Boyoca have a long history in the world of guitar bands where their musicianship and ability in songwriting has helped them create a style designed to stand out in the electronic scene. Over the years, these influences have slowly and carefully been distilled into a sound which is distinctly Boyoca.

Now the emerging duo drop atmospheric club ready cut “Elasticity” released via EMK, the new electronic music platform launched by Kartel Music Group.

The second in a series of tracks anticipating the release of their debut EP He’s A Fool, “Elasticity” follows on the release of soulful cut “Bamboo Mask”, which served as a slick introduction to BOYOCA’s distinctive organic-drenched brand of electronic, soul-inspired music. While with the Apple Music supported “Bamboo Mask”, the paid skilfully layered a sublime shimmering cut, perfectly balancing the organic and synthetic, with “Elasticity” the duo traded songlike arrangements and guest vocals for a more peak-time club fare.

Talking about the track the duo say; “our tracks tip the scales in different directions between the dancefloor, radio-friendly, the organic and electronic. This one definitely tips in a club direction, we think it’s an end of the night kind of tune! Atmosphere that also hits hard!”

Adding, “String stabs are nestled amongst a languid breakbeat layered with long drawn out chords played on a Prophet 08 synth which lends the track it’s unmistakable BOYOCA feel. You can hear guitars in this track as well but we’ve snuck them in the back door using them as textures with plenty of reverb and Lewis on the violinning technique.“

Cross-pollinating multiple strains of electronic music, BOYOCA are able to fold a wide array of influences – including Bicep and OTHERLiine – into a rhythmic, splashy cut brimming with textured electronics inter-weaved with real instrumentation.

With their new track, BOYOCA prove their club skills with a bold, propulsive, syncopated, UK-steep house rhythmic number.
