1000 Beasts brings out the summer vibes on ‘Is This Love?’ (premiere)

Kelly Doherty

Today we’re premiering ‘Is This Love?’, the lead single from Cork electronic producer 1000 Beasts‘ debut double EP Is This Love?.

Fans of Kaytranada will instantly be won over by the Cork man’s new outing. Melding house grooves with shuffling percussive elements, 1000 Beasts has created a frothily bouncy burst that conjures up the rolling good times of summer. It’s fun and infectious and led by striking, pitched vocals that provide just enough of a singalong element without distracting from the main business of danceability.

‘Is This Love?’ is a major step forward in 1000 Beasts realising his own defined sound and is sure to find its way onto many a festival playlist before long.

1000 Beasts plays RAGFEST, in Cyprus Avenue, Cork this Thursday and at We-Bloom in Lost Lane on March 2.
