Catchy hooks, dynamic pulsing electronics, compelling atmospheric grooves, anthemic guitar licks, massive beats and an occasional tendency for all-out raw sonic annihilation, BLAKALASKA’s music is an exploration of the extremes of light and dark, love and loss.
Music
Joyride EP
Adventurous second EP hits the ignition and puts its foot to the floor, exploring electronic trip-hop, dark ambient pop and dub rock. Fuelled with heavy grooves, effected guitars and sweet vocal hooks, this release has a passion for thrills and spills.
Recorded and produced by BLAKALASKA at Tardis Studio Guernsey. ‘Joyride’ and ‘Falling Into Free’ mixed by Steph Marziano. ‘Afterlife’ mixed by Steph Marziano and Kevin Vanbergen. Mastered by Streaky Mastering. Copyright 2018 Vanta Records.
Red
A melancholic tale of obsession and surrender, driven by a ravenous bassline, tight trap rhythms and hot flushes of effected riffs and electronics.

A glorious sound. Exceptionally atmospheric and captures the band in their live element perfect. I didn't want it to stop!

Love that, love that, love that! Machine is an absolute tune!

A fantastically oppressive and hugely expressive experience. BLAKALASKA have been at the pinnacle of Guernsey's live electronic based music scene for some time!
