On the Friday ahead of a long Labor Day weekend here in a defeated and deflated America, it’s no surprise to see Boy Deluxe putting in work. The Los Angeles dark-pop project dropped a sinister beat on the holiday with “WHIPLASH”, awarding us no time to chill as we sashay back to the mutant disco calling us by flashing strobes across our collective conscience. We’ve spent a great deal of 2025 getting freaky with True Murra and Hope S’ hyper-glossy beats n’ treats, an intoxicating head trip of EBM, darkwave, and electroclash brought into the light via underground club banger and SOTY contender “FEEDBACK” — which landed on our half-Year in ReView roundup — and things aren’t likely to fade out anytime soon with this kinetic new throbber. “Listen to it everywhere,” the duo states on Insta. “Make your friends listen to it. Make your boss listen to it. Turn your work into a runway. Your car into a vampire dance club.” Do what Boy Deluxe tell you to do.
