a.k.a skips Shares The 90s Influenced Single “F.T.N.U.”

a.k.a skips is bouncing into the scene with the techno-infused track, “F.T.N.U.,” a tribute to the early fundamental principles of dance music culture.

In 2021, the artist known as a.k.a skips made the decision to retire the Ducky project, embarking on a personal journey of transitioning as a transgender man and exploring new creative endeavors.

Now, after two years, this talented producer resurfaces with a fresh identity, unveiling a brand new alias and eagerly presenting an all-out and all-encompassing creative vision to the world.

The 90s-infused and warehouse-inspired track “F.T.N.U.” standing for “Fuck Up the Night”  absorbs listeners in a nostalgic atmosphere, brimming with resounding club synthesizer progressions, mesmerizing high-hats, and captivating vocal samples.

Showcasing a timeless quality while embodying the essence of the punk ethos, it serves as an incendiary electronic composition, simultaneously embodying queer rebellion, reflecting the intrinsic alignment with a.k.a skips’ new-found sound.

When talking about “F.T.N.U” a.k.a skips stated, “I’m trying to recreate the feeling I had at 13 when my friend’s mom dropped us off at an unpermitted rave under an overpass in San Francisco. No pressure, no rules, maybe a little nostalgia now that I’m an adult, but music that’s really just meant for you to lose it to. Let go and dance!”

Listen to a.k.a skip’s debut single “F.T.N.U.” here now:
