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.
