Squareplatz drops new track “Erase/Rewind”

Munich-based electronic indie band Squareplatz, formed by Turkish musician Sezgin Inceel and Ukrainian artist Stas Mishchenko, have made an impact in the modern music scene by blending their cultural roots with the vibrant energy of 90s electronic-dance music. The band’s name itself, a fusion of the English word “square” and its German translation “Platz,” perfectly distils their mission to create music that acts as a communal space, a central square, where people from diverse backgrounds can gather, express themselves and most importantly, dance freely.

Since their formation in 2019, Squareplatz has consistently drawn from their childhood and early youth experiences, channeling the sounds and memories of their past into their music. Their admiration for iconic acts like The Cardigans is clear, yet they infuse these influences with their distinct style, creating a sound that’s a homage to the past and a reflection of their present-day perspectives.

Their music flows across the barriers of language and regions, aiming to unite listeners on dance floors and in public squares worldwide. Unveiling their sound in 2019, their debut single “Ineffable,” saw them make an emphatic entrance which they followed up with singles two and three before dropping their first EP, Nostalgia, in 2020.

Following a hiatus from sharing their original music, the duo now return with their brand new single titled “Erase/Rewind.” Serving up a throwback to the 90s, with their new track they lay down a danceable retro synth pop jam that feels at once nostalgic and cutting edge.

Opened by the delicate dance of soft synth tones which set a dreamy atmosphere, the shuffle of drums enters to set the rhythm as the arrangement of pulsing bass lines and stabbing synth textures tumble into place. Above the dance-focused groove, the lead vocals enter to weave smooth melodies that hover over the vibrant synth tones and punching beats.

Marking an exciting return to bringing their shared sonic vision to life, “Erase/Rewind” sees Squareplatz craft an uplifting musical experience that’s sure to get listeners moving and grooving all over the world. Once again showcasing their unique sound and creating mesmeric indie dance pop music that anyone can enjoy, Squareplatz are back to their very best on their latest outing.
