Josh Wink

Ever since ‘Higher State of Consciousness’ dropped back in 1995, yes 21 years ago, Josh Wink has been blazing a trail for all to follow.

As Winx he released another classic ‘Don’t Laugh’ the following year and his acidic, electro and techno tendencies have been at the forefront of the scene for decades.

Now it’s time for something new and Wink is heading to Boysnoize Records, a match that seems made in heaven, or hell depending on which way you look at it.

‘Shoelaces’ is everything a BNR and Wink collaboration should be. The staggered electro kicks set the pace while intricate tones and demonic vocal slurs rumble in the forefront. It’s a potent combination and one that reaffirms why Wink has stayed in the spotlight all these years.

This one's available as a free download, because, well we love you. Head here to grab it for yourself and listen below. Hold tight.

The 'Shoelaces' EP complete with remixes will be released on August 12 via Boysnoize Records
