Laikka & EYESHALFSHUT – aspartame (u kill)

We’ve been collaborating with Maria, aka EYESHALFSHUT, on visuals and remixes for quite some time. Now it’s finally time for our first joint release: apartame (u kill) is a collaborative edit of Maria’s solo track Aspartame. The song is about letting go of toxic, inauthentic people – sonically, it moves from ethereal a cappella vocals to driving basslines and a climax that feels almost cursed.
Laikka

Laikka push boundaries: the post-pop duo fuses experimental soundscapes with catchy hooks to create an explosive blend of energy and melancholy. Especially live, Laikka unleash their full power – their performances have already taken them to the British Isles, including the renowned Focus Wales Festival. The audience becomes part of an intense, almost collective experience.
After their acclaimed debut album Morning Glow (2021) and the powerful follow-up Bleach (2023), they presented their most ambitious work yet in 2024: I Close My Eyes, Tomorrow. With the single Safe Space, Laikka delivered a driving pop gem that paved the way for this extraordinary album.
