Today, DoloRRes & Cherry Chola — two rising, convention-defying stars in the rapidly cross-pollinating Australian neo-club scene — announce JACUZZI, their exhilarating and sex-intoxicated new mixtape of left field reggaetone rave-ups. The project is due out March 13 via Sydney-based independent label TRACKWORK (Vv Pete, T Breezy, Walkerboy), a trailblazing entity in the proliferation of progressive, cross-cultural music that focuses on pulling local movements into the global consciousness.
It’s a dizzying showcase for their inimitable multilingual chemistry. Throughout JACUZZI, Venezuelan-Australian artist Cherry Chola’s Spanish vocals ricochet against Rome-based DoloRRes’ Italian wordplay in a simmering repartee, lending the project both a distinctive personality and a handy metaphor for intentions lost in translation during after-hours romantic endeavors.
Lead single “CLANDESTINA,” featuring the Chilean-Australian transdisciplinary artist Khya, is a glitched-out ripper replete with carnal musings. DoloRRes pokes fun at sexual partners of mismatched height; Cherry Chola recounts the trials and tribulations of being slutty on the internet while critically deep diving into the parasocial victims of her internet persona; and Khya vocalizes night time tales of drugs and after-dark temptation.
The “CLANDESTINA” music video — created with the distinctive cinematic production of DoloRRes and Renee Kypriotis — divulges broad societal fears of the digiverse and human isolation amidst the increasingly indexical digital landscape of online girls. DoloRRes depicts a terminally-horny, tech-savvy pseudo-hacker obsessed with cam-girl Khya. As he attempts to take back-end command of Khya’s live video feed, his computer is hit by a hot and vicious computer virus “Cherry Chola” who invades his hard drive and sends DoloRRes into meltdown.
Whether it’s flirtatious and titillating come-ons, nihilistic party exhortations, unraveling toxic relationships, or uncertain sexual power dynamics, JACUZZI tackles its subject matter with an insatiable momentum. Its character sketches are much like its heady production: digitally-damaged, shadow-dappled, globally-fluid, and pulsing with the sensory overload of modern existence. As DoloRRes so succinctly describes it: “WhatsApp Music.”
