Fashion-turned-techno tastemaker ICYKOF is back with his latest single, ‘MOVE YOUR BODY’, dropping February 26, 2025, via his imprint RAVE NUIT. The track paves the way for his debut EP, ZERO SUGAR, set to release in April, complete with a special vinyl edition and accompanying visuals.
Building on the momentum of his acid-laced club hit ‘PAYDAY’, which has already earned praise from Jennifer Loveless, GiGi FM, Laurent Garnier, and downloads from DJ Bone, Marc Fareone, Truncate, Theo Nasa, HAAi, and more, ‘MOVE YOUR BODY’ dives deeper into Detroit techno influences. Drawing inspiration from Underground Resistance, Steve Reich, and Floorplan, the track delivers pounding 909 kicks, rolling bassy toms, and a hypnotic bass synth riff, all driven by commanding pitched-down vocals that pulse with raw warehouse energy.
Formerly known for his Unknown Vlogs platform, where he documented global streetwear culture at the bleeding edge of fashion, ICYKOF (Kofi McCalla) has redefined himself as one of London’s most intriguing voices in electronic music. With his forthcoming EP ZERO SUGAR, he channels the rebellious spirit of Detroit’s industrial techno pioneers, blending gritty warehouse grooves with pulsating percussion.
The EP will feature ‘BRING IT BACK’, with a remix from Bambounou, and ‘SHE KNOWS’, reworked by NYC techno powerhouse MoMa Ready. The latter has already earned accolades from tastemakers like Chloe Caillat, I.JORDAN, re:ni, HAAi, and Yu Su, with Josh Wink, Ryan Elliott, Jerome Sydenham, and DJ Bone all championing its NYC-inspired trippy house sound.
With ‘MOVE YOUR BODY’ leading the charge, ICYKOF is primed to make a bold statement in 2025’s underground techno scene. Catch ‘MOVE YOUR BODY’ on February 26, ahead of the highly anticipated ZERO SUGAR EP, landing April 3 via RAVE NUIT.
