Electronic Pop from MURDAH SRVC

Based in Italy, MURDAH SRVC (said as ‘murder service’) is a groundbreaking audio-visual project. Enriched by the profound influence of Japanese pop culture, this ensemble threads an arching apocalyptic story through the fabric of manga-inspired visuals and sci-fi television aesthetics distilled into dark, electronic music.

Formed in 2017, MURDAH SRVC has taken their enthralling performances to international stages in Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy and Japan. The talented members CHE on vocals, Calti on synths and Silvio on drums draw on musical influences that span a wide spectrum, from groundbreaking acts like Massive Attack, the immersive underground pop of SOHN and the hook-focused appeal of The Weeknd and Frank Ocean.

In their latest release, singer-songwriter CHE links up with Hong Kong-based producer TonYnoT to breathe new life into MURDAH SRVC’s 2018 track, “Running on the Surface.” TonYnoT takes the helm for this remix, encasing the core essence of MURDAH SRVC’s sound within a cocoon of immersive electronic textures.

CHE’s celestial vocals rise gracefully above a steadily intensifying backdrop of synths and a subtle yet insistent kick drum. The driving force of the song’s relentless beat propels it forward, while pulsating synth elements infuse the arrangement with an unyielding energy as ethereal sonic layers twirl around the musical canvas.

TonYnoT manipulates CHE’s vocals, wrapping them in a rippling sonic aesthetic that gradually rises and falls. As the track progresses, it serves up constant twists and turns, ascending into a dance-centric atmosphere led by buzzing synths and airborne vocal lines.

Here, the remix of “Running on the Surface” achieves a thrilling equilibrium between exhilarating electronic crescendos and moments of delicate sonic bliss, driven by the soothing cadence of piano-driven instrumentation. The result is a mesmeric electronic music experience that re-imagines MURDAH SRVC’s original creation, offering a striking new version that carries the essence of the song into something entirely new.
