Kontravoid has shared another preview of what's to come from his forthcoming full-length, 'Detachment'. Instantly intriguing, 'Losing Game' builds the listener's anticipation with a filtered intro before breaking into full force with it's driving bass lines and transitioning elegantly into romantic vocals by Chelsey Crowley of Nuovo Testamento. Available to stream everywhere now, the single marks the final preview of the album, which will see its release via Artoffact Records this Friday, March 1st!
Recently emerging from beneath his walls of synthesizers and announcing a new album, Kontravoid's 'Detachment' will see its global release in just a few days. Today's single is the third taken from the album and follows 'Reckoning', which seamlessly fuses electro-industrial elememts with gothic EBM (accompanied by a mind blowing self-directed + edited video with animation + character design by Alec Mackenzie) and 'For What It Is', which reminded the world of his otherworldly ability to carefully fuse brilliantly arpeggiated synths, dark, brooding vocals, and ascending pop hooks.

Kontravoid’s masked mystique has remained for over a decade. Ever since the release of his self-titled LP in 2012, the Canadian-born, LA-based Cameron Findlay has perfected dark pop with a unique composition which moves eloquently through the EBM, electro and goth genres. His past releases, such as 2019’s “Too Deep” and 2021’s “Faceless,” have no trouble reaching the most derelict corners of foggy, strobe-lit clubs, leaving listeners with no choice but to dance. With an uncanny softness and unmistakable songwriting ability, Kontravoid composes heart-wrenching songs that are both captivating and drenched in melancholy – showcased on 2018’s “Undone”, which has been lauded as a fan favorite since its release.
On stage, Kontravoid demands the audience’s attention with his powerful performance, masterfully balancing his specific concoction of harsh beats and signature rhythmic bass lines. He’s toured alongside Boy Harsher, ADULT., Drab Majesty and HEALTH, and has remixed the likes of Schwefelgelb and Kris Baha. Truly a man of the shadows, Kontravoid is an unparalleled fixture in the dark electronic arena.
