Song of the Day: Rituals – Bite The Boxer

BITE THE BOXER‘s latest single ‘Rituals’ marks a new genre and direction for UK-based producer, this time going deeper and darker than before…

‘Rituals’ evokes an unsettling atmosphere with a slight glimmer of hope and light shining through the darkness. Within the music there are hints of horror movies and early first-person shooter games such as Quake, the latter of which was scored by a long-time influence on the music of Bite The Boxer, Nine Inch Nails.

What started off as an anonymous synthwave project in early 2020, as a way of sharpening his music production skills during lockdown, Bite The Boxer has transformed into a multi-genre, single-person, DIY production project spanning industrial altpop, synthwave, cyberpunk, ambient, chillwave, lo-fi.

His debut album The ’86 Sound was released in August 2020, followed by a glut of singles and the breakout EP – ‘A Stream Becomes A River’, released on 15th October 2021. On the back of the success of A Stream… Bite The Boxer moved to a slightly more commercial, yet alternative sound for widely-praised single, ‘Forgotten’, in April 2022 and Like ‘A Ghost’ in June 2022. Many of these singles received international radio airplay, as well as being picked up by BBC Introducing.

Quad Zerimar Pays Homage To Cyprus With New Single, ‘Cyprus / the Way of Water’.

UK rapper QUAD ZERIMAR takes another step on his world tour, this time to melodically describe his experience in Cyprus with single, ‘Cyprus / the Way of Water’.

A vibrant, dreamy fusion fusion of pop and hip-pop, ‘Cyprus / the Way of Water’ references the infamously amazing cypriot sunsets, local gastronomy and Quad Zerimar takes a relaxing, but deep dive into the aquatic life of the island. The cover art is inspired by the film ‘Avatar – The Way of Water’ and the catchy hook of the song narrates a vision of the underwater life in Cyprus… one reminiscent of the Metkayina clan in Avatar.

The follow-up to his single, ‘Madeira’, which pays homage to the island, ‘Cyprus / the Way of Water’ has been recognised by Cyprus tourist websites and shared to accompany videos of the island. The melodic single has gained over 350 followers on Spotify and was chosen for a playlist with over 145,000 listeners. Have a listen below…
