Radiating pure euphoric rave energy, guised duo The Stickmen Project release atmospheric number ‘I Wish I Was’ into the electronic ether. Prepare for an other-worldly experience on the dancefloor as The Stickmen Project delve into an ultra-modern soundscape that is custom-made for futuristic ravers.
An ethereal female vocal enters into the electromagnetic field of immense production, softly guiding the solemn lyrics and addictive melody of ‘I Wish I Was.’ Whimsical synth tones build slowly underneath, causing spine-tingling tension in each build, capable of being released only by a deep permeating bass line. ‘I Wish I Was’ is carefully crafted with its live presence in mind. Whilst there are louder, more boisterous rave tracks on the circuit, that’s not the purpose of ‘I Wish I Was.’ This the late-night drop catches you off-guard mid set, uncontrollably surrendering you to the present moment and leaving you completely transfixed.
The audio-visual escapade that is The Stickmen Project serves to exceed expectation of the human senses. The duo’s distinct all-black uniform, lit only by multi-coloured LED stick figure silhouettes, is intensified by their full-blown LED light display and synchronised live drum performance and visually enhanced DJ sets.
With such glowing presence, The Stickmen Project have captured worldwide attention. Mega star collaborations include the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tujamo and AR/CO, as well as sound-of-the-summer success with Felix Jaehn and Calum Scott on ‘Rain in Ibiza’ which scored gold in Germany, Austria and Poland with respective chart entries, peaking at #3.
With 250 million global streams and counting to their name, and huge on-stage performances from Hurricane & Southside Festival to Airbeat One, demand for the infectious danceability of The Stickmen Project’s heated club productions shows no signs of slowing down.
Not to mention, The Stickmen Project effect has transcended the online world. As the fourth most followed electronic music act in the world on TikTok, snapshot videos of The Stickmen Project sounding original tracks and hit anthems to the beat of their drum have totalled over 600 million views on the platform and contributed to over one billion social media views overall.
