Multi-platinum Artists – Cheat Codes and Julia Church, Collaborate on Soundtrack To Dating Let-downs – “Modern Tragedy”

In an impressive team-up of talent, the Los Angeles trio Cheat Codes and acclaimed Durban-born and London-based singer-songwriter Julia Church combine forces for their new single – “Modern Tragedy.” The track sits at the Cheat Codes‘ signature intersection of dance-electronic and pop, riding on undulating basslines, driving beats, and ethereal melodies from the famed producers, while Julia‘s breathy and soulful vocals bring some wistful and yet hopeful emotions to the entire composition.

In a world where tragedy seems to be the only constant, we took that pain and transformed it into something greater. Working with Julia, we didn’t just make a track – we created a story that speaks to the struggle and finds beauty in the darkest moments. It’s a reminder that even in the chaos, there’s a harmony waiting to be found.” – Cheat Codes

Modern Tragedy‘ is about navigating the trials and tribulations of modern dating. Feeling as though you’re stuck in a perpetual merry-go-round of excitement and let-downs. I wrote this after being ghosted by someone I really liked. Sometimes all you can do is laugh (and write a song about it).” – Julia Church

Church has worked with some A-list electronic acts in the past, such as John SummitDiploSub FocusKaskadeCamelPhatGorgon CityRobin Schulz, to name only a handful, and her performance truly shines when added to Cheat Codes‘ dynamic and creative production prowess. After putting out a pop ballad – “Bloom” with Train, last month, “Modern Tragedy” sees them returning to the dance-electronic realm.
