🎧Approved: Tracey

One of London’s mythic new groups, Tracey blend UKG, R&B and rave pop into something glitchy and addictive. Their latest single ‘Sleazy’ is a chaotic sugar-high; all hiccuping beats, warped vocals and Y2K flair

Emerging from the fog of London’s ever-revolving underground, Tracey feel like a band you’ve heard in a dream, or maybe at a squat party you don’t quite remember. 

Formed in 2024, the duo-led project ropes in a shifting cast of collaborators for live sets, all orbiting a sound that pulls from UKG, R&B, glitchy rave and early-2000s pop oddities.

New single ‘Sleazy’ lands somewhere between teen drama and club comedown - hiccuping garage beats and iconic 2000s video game ‘Dance Dance Revolution’ samples glitch like a hacked Tamagotchi, and vocals flit between candy-sweet and side-eye sly.

The video matches the chaos: a hyper-digital fever dream of Game Boys, Princess Peach, AOL-core textures and stripper heels - a glittering overload that captures the cut-and-paste DNA of Tracey’s aesthetic. 

Think Crystal Castles if they’d grown up on TikTok and cheap corner shop WKD.
