Following the momentum of her recent singles, PARIS returns with “Genesis”, the third preview from her debut album Labyrinth — and the track that sets the tone for the journey ahead.
From the very first beat, “Genesis” draws listeners into a shadowy, pulsing groove. A hypnotic bassline drives layers of textured percussion, airy synth swells, and melodic fragments that feel both urgent and timeless. At its core is the mantra-like refrain, “I’ve been here since the genesis” — a line looping like a compass point, guiding the listener deeper into reflection. The lyric speaks to starting over, finding direction after feeling lost, and reconnecting with something pure and unshakable.
The track’s darker, more groove-driven atmosphere stems from PARIS’ recent time on the dance floor, where she tested and refined the song through her Into The Labyrinth club nights in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. Spanning two weekends in June and July, these intimate shows allowed fans to experience the album in its natural environment — late-night rooms charged with energy, movement, and shared release.
To celebrate the album’s arrival, PARIS will expand this concept into a series of intimate club shows and immersive showcases across Australia. Each event will feature a full Labyrinth playback, a PARIS DJ set, immersive projections, and carefully curated venues designed to fuse music, space, and community. Stops in Byron Bay, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane will run through late August and September, with more cities soon to be announced.
Her live calendar also includes high-profile support slots for Lane 8 and Sultan + Shepard in South Africa this October, as well as her long-awaited return to North America for This Never Happened Presents in Chicago and Denver.
“Genesis” is out now, with Labyrinth set to arrive on August 29 via This Never Happened. The album captures over a decade of sonic evolution, deep introspection, and creative growth from one of Australia’s most captivating electronic music voices.
