Cardiff-born DJ and producer Elkka releases her brand new single ‘Passionfruit’, featuring revered pianist and composer John Caroll Kirby (Frank Ocean, Harry Styles, Yves Tumor), out now via Ninja Tune.
‘Passionfruit’ is a musically succulent, exploratory nine-minute instrumental odyssey that sounds like non-verbal communication brought to life. It marks the beginning of a new era that sees Elkka push freedom and sensuality to the forefront of her work, capturing her essence as a bold, queer woman in electronic music. Speaking on the track, Elkka explains: “This song was born out of an improvisation between John and I in the studio. I took it home and expected to cut up certain sections, re-arrange etc but I quickly realised that I loved how it developed, expanded and didn’t rush. That's what the song is about. The pleasure in taking your time with someone, to explore them and them you. There’s nothing better. When I think about women and sensuality… this is what melts me.”

Simple and yet effective. Ones the tune gets going, it'll make you stomp your feet. And if you're still standing still after a minute, the drop will surely get you going!
Simply fantastic.... G4000
