Hey, beat junkies! Ever wish you could lose yourself in a pulsing techno rave, then drift off into a daydream of wide-open fields? Inwards—aka Worcestershire’s own Kristian Shelley—has you covered with his latest single, “Tokeida Outlaw’s Floozy.” Dropped on April 3, 2024, this high-energy breaks-techno banger is a sneak peek into his upcoming third album, Zoomies, out May 30. The video’s out now, and it’s a wild ride—think sweaty dancefloor vibes meets nature-fueled escapism. Let’s crank it up and dive in!
The Sound, The Story, The Soul
“Tokeida Outlaw’s Floozy” slams you with a relentless techno groove from the jump—choppy breaks, modular synths buzzing like a live wire, and a beat that’s got that raw, underground edge. It’s dancefloor dynamite, built to make you move, but there’s that classic Inwards twist: a layer of weirdness that keeps it from being just another club track. Think found sounds and quirky textures weaving through the mix, giving it a playful yet deep vibe that’s pure Shelley. The video doubles down on the mood—our hero’s lost in the music at a rave, but their mind’s wandering to open skies and green escapes. It’s a trip worth taking.
Kristian Shelley’s been a name to watch since his debut Diesel and follow-up Bright Serpent, earning love from MOJO, Resident Advisor, and BBC 6 Music for his knack at blending unshakable melodies with experimental flair. Zoomies—his third LP—ramps up the energy, inspired by the antics of his late Golden Retriever, Keira, and her ancestors. Each of the 11 tracks, including “Tokeida Outlaw’s Floozy,” is named after a pup from her family tree, turning this into a heartfelt tribute wrapped in club-ready beats. Shelley calls it a shift to danceable territory, but that “Inwards weirdness” still shines through—perfect for raves or reflective moments alike.
Techno’s been on a tear lately, with 2025 seeing the genre morph into wilder, more eclectic forms—think Amelie Lens’ high-octane sets or Charlotte de Witte’s dark twists. Inwards fits right in, carving his own lane with this canine-inspired, spiritual spin. Hit play below and let “Tokeida Outlaw’s Floozy” pull you into its orbit!
