Official Launch...

Dear Parralox fans,

This is just a note to let you know that we've had to slightly delay the Official Music Video release of "Sharper Than A Knife" for a few weeks as we are planning to debut it online with an exclusive media partner.
The video is one of our best and we hope that by partnering with a media outlet, the video will get the exposure it needs.
To celebrate the video release, we'll also be announcing a special live webcast to accompany the video in which we will debut brand new material and answer as many of your questions as possible.
It's a bright new era for Parralox and we cannot wait to share everything we've been working on with you personally very soon.

Believe in electric dreams - Amii and John

'The stuff obsessions are born of' - Parralox reviewed on Music City Post

Check out this cool article on MUSIC CITY POST!

Parralox’s Sharper Than A Knife is the stuff obsessions are born of. Here, in its Pete Hammond remix form, the track dips into a vein of 80s nostalgia so strong, you can practically taste the chorus of Club Tropicana and bouffant hairspray. Following previous masterwerks such as this, Hammond delivers another raft of SAW-worthy synths – it doesn’t just sound like the 80s, it *is* the 80s. Captured in a bottle,  spring-loaded on a stack of old copies of Smash Hits – it’s every trip to Reflex you ever dreamed about, and more.

We haven’t even got started on the lyric video. After one watch of this, all other lyric videos might as well shut up shop and go home. It basically recreates all your favourite 80s vinyl sleeves, ever. Indeed, trying to spot them all very nearly tops the track itself in terms of sheer fun-factor.

With praise from the likes of Popjustice, Perez Hilton and EQ Music ringing in their ears, expect to hear a lot more from this Aussie duo in the future."

Think 80′s Madonna meets Pet Shop Boys meets Aqua and you get PARRALOX!

Here's another, rather lovely, article about Sharper Than a Knife from the wonderful folks at Popledge. Bless!

"Old school Madonna vibe mixed with the best moments of Aqua it’s Parralox!"

"This track is a lot of FUN which we like on popledge, the vocals really remind us of 80′s Madonna in her prime. It also brings a retro dance feel into the 21st century with ease – great stuff. Think a female lead Pet Shop Boys if you will.

After spending a summer honing their live performance, delivering stand out sets at the Poptronik Festival in Spain and Electronic Summer in Sweden, PARRALOX are set to release their single ‘Sharper Than A Knife’ on November 26^th."

Parralox signs to PACHA Recordings

COAR/SUBTERRANE RECORDS sign worldwide deal with

PACHA RECORDINGS on PARRALOX / CREEP

COAR (Center Of Attention Records) and label partner SUBTERRANE RECORDS are very pleased to have signed a worldwide deal on PARRALOX - CREEP with well known and established PACHA RECORDINGS.

After getting loads of attention on the original and hi-street dance-floor mixes of CREEP especially the remix by Norwegian producer COSMIC DAWN on a more commercial level, things took a turn earlier this week.

A brand new BIG ROOM mix of CREEP was revealed, crafted by credible newbie PAULO CERRO.

Among others, Stephen Glen Hulme (head of legendary PACHA RECORDINGS) reacted positively to say the least!
"We were in no doubt that Stevie and his label would be the right way to work this release further on" says Fritz Niko (A&R and agent of Parralox).

In the near future PACHA RECORDINGS will put out a brand new international PACHA MIXES package of the Australian duo PARRALOX and their lovely rework of Radiohead's Creep, and it will get loads of support on the Pacha network. 

“I love the Radiohead original, have hated every attempt at it since then by everybody, until today! Great work, This is gorgeous…I wanted it for Pacha Recordings instantly" says Stephen Glen Hulmes (MD, Pacha Recordings).
