et.nu — Heart Beat Big Beat

Every love story has its engine, this song is about ours. If you play it loud and allow the music to ravish you, you will feel what we felt like when we got lost in Berlin (and each other), that one insane summer. It’s all in there: the pounding sound systems tuned to the tee thrashing bodies with tight, syncopated low end. The intense late night escapades that delivered us drunk (in more ways than one) into gorgeous, technicolor sunrises! If you think of our love story as a movie, which it certainly is, this is the flashback scene that will take you back to the very beginning. – Lea Fries

Call it a post-punk mantra with a techno inflection. Call it future-retro, because it negotiates that sweet-spot between an 80s New Wave-inflected Berlin and its current technoid guise. Heart Beat Big Beat, the latest single from et . nu, was composed in Paris, recorded in Britany and is by far one of the most visceral sonic documents of what it feels like to fall for someone and put everything on the line for them.
