World News Crash Land with New Single ~ In The Room
We've been waiting patiently and the day is finally here.
Hardware electronic duo – World News – have just released their first single of 2024, accompanied by a set of remixes so hot, you'll need to bathe in dry ice to cool yourself down.
It's steamy. It's sexy. It's a little confused. And it's all IN THE ROOM.
In The Room was recorded by World News at Safe Sounds, produced and mastered by Josh Korody.
Qu Mi and Bill Cutbill have been writing, recording and performing World News since January 2022, following the exile of Tyler Cooksley (more on that later).
This marks the first official release from the duo ~ though they have put out a couple of strictly limited edition GOLD tapes that have since flown the nest.
Well today, In The Room [SS124] arrives in style as a single with hard-hitting remixes from international artists including Eschaton Crises (LONDON, UK), MOONBEAN (TORONTO, CA), Personal Data (HAMILTON, CA), Asher Gould-Murtagh (MONTREAL, CA) and Josh Korody (TORONTO, CA).
You can listen to the whole thing on Spotify, iTunes, bandcamp or your preferred music platform. Trust me baby, it's free.
What's more, there's a music video coming soon, directed by previous collaborator, Danny Alexander. Alexander known for the pandemic documentary about the Toronto scene, No Tickets At The Door. Anyhow, we won't keep you waiting for too long I promise... subscribe here to be notified when it hits.
You can support Safe Sounds and its artists by listening to all of our releases on your preferred streaming platform, liking and re-listening. You can purchase directly from World News on their bandcamp, if you want to.
But there's no pressure at all. More importantly, we hope that this release reaches your ears and washes over you in a way that you enjoy and keeps your wanting more.
Stay tuned.
It's Christmas Time And You Need To Be Afraid
This Friday is A CLASSMAS CAROL which is a huge night of entertainment with a mega lineup of bands and comedians.
Bad Waitress, members of which you may have seen at our recent Geary Art Crawl showcase, will be rocking alongside Burner, Waste Youth and our very own, World News.
What is CLASS? Well here's what they have to say for themselves...
"Leave some cookies and cheap smokes out a few weeks earlier this year, because CLASS is racing down the chimney of The Garrison for A CLASSMAS Carol on December 8th.
We’ve spewed eggnog everywhere, stolen Frosty’s magical hat, and banned Rudolph from participating in any reindeer games. Have we lost the true meaning of the holidays?
Will Deshaun turn into Santa Tim Allen style? Come help Fezenezer Scrooge and The CLASS crew rediscover the spirit of the season, and rock out to a stocking over stuffed with music, stand up comedy, and art. Bah Humbug, I just sat in some hot cocoa."
Comedy will be served hot thanks to Ryan Dillon, Sima Sepehri, Sam Burns and Kari Johnson
