New music video from Erotika Dabra

Canberra-based producer and performance artist Erotika Dabra stands at the crossroads of sound design and pole dance. Their work is an uncompromising dive into emotion, embodiment and self-expression, bringing inner chaos to the surface through layered sonic textures and visceral movement. By bringing together two art forms that have long existed at the fringes, Erotika Dabra crafts immersive experiences that offers a space for liberation.

Their journey into this hybrid creative world began with two discoveries that would go on to define their practice. First came electronic music, a form that allowed them to mould feeling into sound, exploring its vast potential to sculpt mood and meaning. In parallel, Erotika Dabra encountered pole dance, which became a vehicle for reclaiming the body and asserting control in a way that language alone couldn’t capture. Where one discipline gave voice to emotion, the other gave it movement and together they provided the tools for a truly distinctive artistic vision.

This vision first came into focus in May 2022 with the debut single “Flood of White,” a release that introduced listeners to their experimental electronic sound. A series of follow-ups continued to build their momentum, including the collaborative track “My Own Magic” with Lioness. Each outing underscored their growing command of production and willingness to test the limits of genre, leaning into an approach that places emotional context above formula.

Now, Erotika Dabra returns with their most emphatic artistic statement yet, the brand new single titield “EAT ME / DRINK ME,” a track that confirms their status as one of the most exciting voices in the underground electronic sphere. The track is an alternative electronic dance cut charged with sexual energy and brimming with a dark, hypnotic pulse that blurs fantasy and reality to extend an invitation for outsiders and misfits to lose themselves in its world.

Setting an intense, avant-garde scene, the buzzy pulse of synth is met by flickering tones, booming percussive shots and atmospheric vocal breaths. As Erotika Dabra’s vocals enter, they drape spoken-word style delivery over the rumble of the arrangement to form an enveloping and truly transportive slice of experimental electronica that pairs rhythmic energy with subtle melodic flashes. It’s an engaging new outing that sees Erotika Dabra once again flex their creative wings to deliver something wholly absorbing and entirely unique.

The release is further amplified by a gripping music video, designed as a long-form visual experience choreographed by Ellixir alongside Erotika Dabra and featuring dancers from TBR Studios. The piece combines group routines with solo freestyle and intimate close-ups, celebrating not just Erotika Dabra’s artistic output but also the wider community of performers around them, using movement as both visual storytelling and communal celebration. By tying their music to such a powerful visual statement, they expand the song into something larger, an experience that fuses sight, sound and emotion.

Commenting on the new release, Erotika Dabra shares, “It’s the shattering of the divide between fantasy and reality. The moan of sheer ecstasy when I realised the fantasy I had used to navigate the darkness had woven its magic into the life around me, and there is sexual power within me.”
