Whitewall by Movement81

Movement81's latest single, ‘Whitewall’, offers an upbeat and positive soundscape, reflecting a hopeful outlook towards the future, while subtly questioning power structures and our collective tendency to push forward, oblivious to the potentially darker side of the emerging quantum era. The single is accompanied by two remixes: an invigorated, high-energy rendition and an ambient, liminal version that invites introspection.

‘Whitewall’ hints at the themes explored in Movement81's forthcoming debut album, ‘If infinity,’ which reflects on the promise and uncertainty of rapid technological advancements, particularly the significant leaps in quantum computing and its increasing presence in the public consciousness over the past few years. The track encapsulates this narrative, blending optimism with a critical perspective on our progression into new technological frontiers and the quantum era.

‘Whitewall’ has garnered early attention, notably featuring on BBC Radio 1's ‘Introducing Dance’ show with Jaguar - known for championing emerging electronic artists and advocating for diversity in dance music through amplifying fresh, forward-thinking sounds.

“Quantum technology is mind-bending - full of infinite potential but laced with the risk of losing something human in the process. ‘Whitewall’ celebrates ‘human-ness’, reflecting on ideas around endless progression, efficiency and desire for speed. What will happen when everything moves faster than we can keep up with? ‘Whitewall’ reflects those thoughts - it's about the excitement of moving forward, but also about questioning what we leave behind.

When Jaguar featured ‘Whitewall’ on her ‘Introducing Dance’ show on BBC Radio 1, she sped up the original version of the track to 137bpm - which we really enjoyed - so we mixed a faster, slightly different cut for the single release (the Black Hole Remix). While we loved this more energetic version, we also wanted to emphasise society’s relationship between a desire for speed and the benefits in having time for reflection, so we made another, slower-feeling version - the Smooth Space Remix, to balance these ideas."
