Tokky Horror – Simulate Me (Alcopop! Records) 
Release Date: Out Now
I have really enjoyed the
emergence of Tokky Horror in 2020 and their new single, ‘Simulate Me’, does nothing
to taint that joy. This trac is a mash up of 90s rave, vocals akin to London
duo Cherryade and the dark undertones of Black Futures or Trent Reznor. The
frenetic nature and unpredictable changes in direction give you the sensation
that you are moving through the levels of a computer game, triggering different
audio sensations as you encounter different challenges. Alternatively, it is
the best hold music to get folks raving their tits off while they’re waiting to
find out if they can take a mortgage repayment holiday because they’ve been
made redundant due to Covid closures. Either way, it’s a bop.
