Known for crafting massive, daytime festival anthems, Australian electronic mainstay POOLCLVB is shifting gears and heading straight for the dark underbelly of the club scene. Pivoting from his signature polished production, POOLCLVB returns with 'Gorilla', a relentless, bass-heavy track that firmly marks a moodier, underground-leaning direction for the artist.
'Gorilla' is an uncompromising fusion of alternative electronic and late-night UK club music. The track is loaded with rolling breaks, distorted low-end, and grimy dance floor pressure. Built specifically for packed rooms and sweaty ceilings, it trades pop sensibilities for pure warehouse energy.
POOLCLVB speaks to the record himself, "Gorilla feels built for the moment the night properly tips over. It's tough, stylish, and loud in all the right ways."
Adding to the track's distinct swagger is Soma, whose vocal performance brings a commanding, razor-sharp attitude to the record. Her confident delivery cuts clean, elevating 'Gorilla' from a functional club tool into a track brimming with its own distinct identity. Soma provides her own credentials to the collaboration, backed by a back catalog of consistent releases alongside both premier Australian and international talent alike; TCTS, Ben Miller and Mincy of notable mention. Her sonics and undeniable presence have already garnered significant global radio support, earning regular airplay on major tastemaker stations including triple j, New Zealand's George FM, and the prestigious BBC Radio 1.
POOLCLVB's breakthrough single 'Love Type' reached full rotation on triple j, becoming the station's most-played track at its peak while simultaneously climbing to #4 on the Shazam Dance Chart and #8 on the Spotify Viral 50. Translating to the performance space, fueling extensive national touring across major festival stages Spilt Milk Festival, Splendour In The Grass, and This That Festival, as well as the national tour support slot for Australian royalty Golden Features.
Beyond his individual output, POOLCLVB remains a vital architect of Australia's electronic culture through his duties as the head of record label, LOVE CLVB. The imprint operates as a community platform, fostering local talent and anchoring the very ecosystem in which he cut his teeth.
With 'Gorilla', POOLCLVB and Soma step confidently into darker territory, delivering a club-focused record that captures the energy of UK underground sounds while pushing both artists into new creative ground.
