Shrouded in mystery, ÅNDfØLK is an enigmatic music duo born from a Proto-Scandinavian word meaning ‘spirit.’ The UK-based act, has been going from strength to strength since making their debut in 2020, going on a sonic journey that intertwines digitalised intergalactic characters, copal rituals and banging tunes.
The decision to adopt anonymity wasn’t a mere aesthetic choice for ÅNDfØLK; it was a profound statement about their commitment to the music itself. “What we wanted to do with ÅNDfØLK was to be an act that hopefully would rise through the ranks for no other reason but making incredible music,” they express.
With future plans of psychedelic live shows, ÅNDfØLK intends to create an immersive experience that offers something groundbreaking and entirely new, reaching audiences globally over the coming years. Despite their clandestine identity, ÅNDfØLK’s track record speaks volumes, racking up 3.7 million streams and nearly 100K followers on Spotify alone.
Now, ÅNDfØLK unveils “Type A,” the latest single released via Caramel Records. Following the success of “Katanuki,” this deep techno track has already received acclaim, earning 5 stars from German producer Acid Pauli. Inspired by Skream’s 2022 set at DC10 in Ibiza, “Type A” is designed to be a visceral, chest-rattling experience, blending trancey, arpeggiated vocal chops with an epic lower register.
Opened by a moody bass synth, pulsing over a soft kick, the song builds with rattling sonic textures, stuttered vocal sample shots and punchy drums. Rumbling synth tones and a lively arrangement of staccato energy from the vocal samples crafts an enveloping sound that wraps you in a deep techno world.
With “Type A,” ÅNDfØLK takes you on a trippy techno journey that bends from tense minimalist moments to powerful dance-focused vibes packed full of intricate synth layers and crisp percussion. It’s a sensational new cut from an act that continues to operate at the very highest level.
The genesis of “Type A” traces back to a transformative night at DC10, a temple of Ibiza’s club culture. ÅNDfØLK recalls the magic of Skream’s set, describing it as a continuous assault of exceptional music that felt unstoppable. The track itself distils the essence of that moment, designed to resonate in a club environment with a pulsating low end that shakes right through the body.
Commenting on the single, they share, “Type A was created after a very big night at DC10 in Ibiza. And quite a few of the different DJs that we’ve played it to, and this has happened on five occasions, all external to each other, have gone: ‘F**k, I’d love to hear this at DC10!'”
