Aux Volta delivers a call for change with rhythmic new single "Bad Sector"

Aux Volta has returned with “Bad Sector,” a high-energy single that speaks volumes beyond the dance floor. The electronic duo from London, now based in Asia, continues to blur genres by combining club-friendly energy with analog warmth and a palpably human spirit.

Written, recorded, mixed, and produced in full by Aux Volta, “Bad Sector” seems entirely intentional at every turn. Bill Sherrington’s mastery at Crown Lane further underlines this with clarity and punch, added without detracting from this track’s raw emotional heart.

“Bad Sectors” is an alarm clock with a beat, bold, empowering, and unafraid of the dark. Aux Volta advises people to believe in themselves, help one another, and embrace beauty and flaws as human characteristics. There’s an energy about it that feels like everyone is part of something powerful, a sense that the coming together can be as strong as any drop.

Mark Tamer’s artwork extends the release’s message by providing a visual component that reinforces it. It suits the song’s vibe as thoughtful, striking, open to interpretation, as does their playful yet purposeful experimentation. On “Bad Sector,” Aux Volta proves that electronic music can be a place to let go and a place to think. Yes, it’s a bop, but it also tells people not to let the darkness win.
