Cubicolor & Anjunadeep - BRAINSUGAR

Cubicolor present their debut album – 'BRAINSUGAR' – to be released on September 16th on Anjunadeep ("One of the hottest electronic labels in the world" ~ Hype Machine).
 
Cubicolor have emerged as one of the most exciting acts to come through the European underground in recent times. Championed by Pete Tong as one of his artists to watch, praised by Mixmag, Spin, Clash, and DJ Mag, and supported by a host of heavyweight DJs, Cubicolor look set to break through with their anticipated debut LP.
 
Their striking and alternative sound developed across a string of acclaimed EPs on Anjunadeep and a remix for Howling (Âme's Frank Wiedemann & Ry X) on Monkeytown Records, which has found it's way into the sets of many A-list DJs, including Sasha, George Fitzgerald, Joris Voorn, and Mano Le Tough.
 
Having launched in 2014 with two members, Dutch producers Ariaan Olieroock and Peter Kriek, Cubicolor now welcome British vocalist, and former Duologue front-man Tim Digby-Bell into the band as their third member, following much loved collaborations on 'Falling' and 'Mirror Play.' In his time with Duologue, Tim produced, co-wrote and sang on two records acclaimed by the likes of The Guardian, NME, DIY Mag, and The Line Of Best Fit.
 
On 'BRAINSUGAR' we hear an evolution in Cubicolor's sound across a host of diverse and infectious tracks, combining beautiful songwriting with brilliantly cohesive clarity, echoing their influences: Radiohead, Massive Attack and Moderat to name a few. Tim's lyrical depth and haunting vocal style shine throughout the album, which features eight vocal tracks and four instrumentals.
 
The LP's first single, 'Falling' is a cascading piece of melancholic house music, which has amassed over 4 million plays on Spotify, topped Beatport's Electronica chart, and picked up features on multiple global specialist radio stations including BBC Radio 1, BB6 Music, KCRW, KEXP, SiriusXM Chill, 1Live, Rai 2, 3FM, and Studio Brussels.
 
Released alongside the announcement of the album, 'Dead End Thrills' is a fusion of Cubicolor's trademark sounds, blending trippy atmospheric electronica, layered with textured melodies and Tim's poignant vocals.
 
Throughout August and September 2016, Cubicolor bring their well-honed electronic sound to venues large and small across North America for a DJ tour, including a string of underground club shows and notablefestival performances at Electric Zoo and Nocturnal Wonderland where they perform on Anjunadeep label stages alongside the likes of Âme, George Fitzgerald, Lane 8, HVOB, Henrik Schwarz and Yotto. Cubicolor are currently developing a full live show to be launched later this year.
 
'BRAINSUGAR' is set to be the seventh artist album to be released on Anjunadeep, an A&R hotbed celebrated for the release of debut LPs from Dusky and Lane 8. With 250+ single releases and a string of iTunes #1 albums and compilations under its belt, the label has distinguished itself as one of the scene's leading imprints. It's earning glowing coverage everywhere from Resident Advisor to Pitchfork, whilst receiving heavy support on BBC Radio 1 from Annie Mac, Pete Tong, B. Traits and Phil Taggart.
