Launching into 2024 with a wave of new releases, future house duo Electric Polar Bears are rekindling their passion for house music by returning to their club room roots.
With a brand founded on their fond memories rising through the electronic music scene – and the ethos gained from those experiences – Electric Polar Bears (who go by the names Zero and Snowball) embrace an identity that combines the endearing and eccentric allure of the Arctic with the pulsating sonic heart of dance music. Known for curating one-of-a-kind performances full of party-starting antics, the duo craft full sensory experiences at their shows, where they combine 3000 LED heads, powerful confetti cannons, captivating lasers, frost machines, and an enchanting penguin parade – all set against the backdrop of their vibrant, lively house beats.
The duo’s lovable and whimsy charm, infectious sound, and magnetic performance style have also led to a long list of accolades, including collaborations with notable artists such as Paris Hilton, Nitti Gritti, and CAZZETTE; support from industry tastemakers like Afrojack, Alison Wonderland, Deorro, and Illenium; performances at renowned festivals, including Decadence Arizona, Water Castle Carnival, Global Dance Festival, Give Thanks, and Amsterdam Dance Event; and a showcase at Paris Hilton’s Neon Wedding. The duo’s bi-weekly radio show, Igloo Radio, has also been syndicated to stations on five different continents, including Insomniac Radio.
2024 is proving to be a monumental year for the polar bear-headed duo, as they’ve already unveiled a string of singles that seamlessly combine forward-thinking electronic innovation with the familiar elements of their signature sound.
The Electric Polar Bears kicked off the year with two boundary-pushing tracks: “Fever,” a bouncy, vibrant track with immersive rhythms, and “Animals feat. Bertie Scott,” which saw the duo join forces with soul-stirring vocalist Bertie Scott to produce an emotive, lively cut.
Today, the dynamic duo unveils “Signs” – a nostalgia-induced track inspired by the electrifying atmosphere and high-energy crowd from one unforgettable club show. Written as an homage to the house scene, “Signs” is a celebration of the magic of live dance music.
“Signs” kicks off with a string of scintillating hi-hats, auxiliary percussion elements, and blitzes of synth chords. The track then builds with a mysterious bass synth note progression, pushing the track forward before dropping into its hypnotizing, minimalist beat.
Infusing blazing synths over the track’s trunk-rattling four-on-the-floor beat, “Signs” efficiently translates its core elements into maximum dance floor catharsis.
Fans can catch Electric Polar Bears play out “Signs” at their upcoming performance at Splash Down Mexico in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico, as well as a series of shows during Miami Music Week, including the EDM.com: Insider Access event, Thicc Beats Rooftop Party, The Kickoff at the Racket Lounge, and more.
Beyond packing out dance floors, Electric Polar Bears are dedicated to philanthropic endeavors and leveraging their platform to make a positive impact on the world. For their most recent charitable act, the duo have announced they will be donating 10 percent of their streaming revenue for the remainder of 2023 to Only.one’s Antarctica marine protection initiative – an initiative to protect vital Antarctic ecosystems and deliver the largest act of ocean protection in history.
