tunesday – elle shimada
This funky track takes an honest look at human vulnerability.
Have you ever been out dancing, enjoying the mix of mid-2000s pop hits that the DJ has on rotation, and suddenly hit with an all-consuming emotional epiphany that plays alongside the melodic sound of Lil Jon’s ‘OKAAYY’ and changes up the whole vibe of the evening? If the answer to that is yes, then Elle Shimada is right up your alley.
Elle Shimada’s sound is truly something special – mixing together the upbeat tempo of drum and bass with textured and cinematic soundscapes, Elle creates a sound that is perfect for a boogie and an introspective listen. The Tokyo-born, Melbourne-based artist has released a new single, ABOUT BLANK ____, with vocals provided by Rara Zulu with Elle describing the song as “the thoughts I’ve buried deep inside my heart.”
