HELLO OVERDRIVE!
Let's get grooving with the SOTW!
This time around we are dancing to a brand new remix from Dark Italo masters NUOVO TESTAMENTO. This time they rework the single "Psychic Dance Machine" from California based Punk/Hardcore band SCOWL. This complete re-imagining, replaces the pop-punk vibes of the original for a dance focused track sure to light up the club.

it's been awhile, but it's SOTW time again! Today, we check out the latest dancefloor slayer by synthwave legends Gunship! Tech Noir 2 is a higher octane sequel to their classic Tech Noir, this time featuring additional vocals from former bandmate Charlie Simpson (Fightstar). Pure aural bliss!

OVERDRIVE returns this Saturday nite, so you won't have to cool your heels much longer. Hope everyone has been having a great Fall so far! 💃🕺🍁🌻

SOTW time, and Happy Juneteenth! Today's let's check out PRIZM, a Texas-based "popwave" duo making waves with their recent Fleetwood Mac covers. Their latest is a thoroughly modern take on "Go Your Own Way", with unique vocal flourishes, punchy beats, and a brilliant sax solo near the end. Highly recommended!

OVERDRIVE returns Saturday, July 8th. Hope everyone is doing great! 💃🕺🎼🎹

Hello OVERDRIVE! Time for the song of the week.
And what better way to begin than with some brand new Makeup and Vanity Set and their latest album 'Wavefinder'.
So lets get started with the opening track from that album "Cursors". A dreamy and filter heavy instrumental that's perfect for those warm sunsets ahead.
OVERDRIVE returns to the Middle East on Saturday May 13th.
We can't wait to see you..

SOTW time! Today let’s check out the latest single from Arizona synth duo Body of Light! “Never Ever” represents a slight shift in tone, towards a lighter, New Wave-ish, almost Sophisti-pop direction that will remind you of 80’s stalwarts ABC, The Blow Monkeys, and Scritti Politti. The romantic sax solo alone will bring you back!

Appreciate everyone being patient as we skipped April’s Overdrive due to a scheduling issue with the venue. You won’t have to cool your heels much longer, as we’ll be back on Sat, 5/13. Can’t wait to see you all then 🕺🏻💃🏻🎶🎹!

Hello OVERDRIVE!
We hope you are enjoying this beautiful Easter, and it's time for The Song Of The Week. This time it's the latest from M83 (aka Anthony Gonzalez). The new single "Fantasy" is the title track to his ninth studio album. Disco tinted and washed out, this one continues M83' stellar track record for exceptional releases.
OVERDRIVE Returns on Saturday May 13th.
We'll see you soon, until then..
Stay Safe, Stay Rad!
