Anushka sounds like the intersection of a late-night jazz club and a high-fidelity warehouse rave. The music is built on a foundation of sophisticated, syncopated percussion and deep, melodic basslines that pull from the best of UK garage and Detroit house. Over these driving rhythms, Victoria Port’s vocals float with a weightless, breathy elegance, providing a human warmth to Max Wheeler’s sharp, futuristic production.
What truly sets them apart is the 'swing' in their sound. While many electronic duos lean into rigid grids, Anushka embraces a loose, organic feel that suggests live musicianship even in their most synthetic moments. The vocal arrangements are often layered into shimmering curtains of sound, turning Port’s voice into a textural instrument that dances around the heavy sub-bass.
Start with 'Broken Circuit' to hear their definitive blend of club-ready energy and pop sensibility. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who loves the rhythmic complexity of Disclosure but wants a more soulful, jazz-inflected vocal presence. It is music for the transition between the day's reality and the night's possibilities.
