PRESS RELEASE
HOTEL DEATH STAR
TRUTH OR DARE Remix
~ OUT 18TH JUNE 2021 ~

Hotel Death Star recently took the opportunity to remix the hit single ‘Truth or Dare’ by Jakarta based indie pop/ rock outfit ‘Dead Bachelors.’

Andreas Arianto initiated the idea as both a member of HDS and producer/co-writer for Dead Bachelors. Approaching the remix, HDS gave the track a complete makeover, pushing it into darker territory to align with their sound, while the upbeat R&B, pop style ‘Dead Bachelors’ vocals remain an integral hook throughout the song.

Standing out is the slightly unorthodox outro, a haunting piano composition with classical roots, taking the listener through an emotional journey from anticipation and hope, to optimism and reward.

‘Truth or Dare’ is currently the highest spinning track for ‘Dead Bachelors’ with over 250,000 plays on Spotify alone. Recent years have seen them gather swift momentum and success with increased streaming, fans, radio play and live shows.

THE GENESIS OF ‘HOTEL DEATH STAR’
Forging the skills of singer-songwriter Phil Stoodley and composer-producer Andreas Arianto, this collab was spawned in the cold mountains of snow-drenched Japan early 2020. Caught in a storm, Phil scratched out melodic beats in the room of a hotel that inhaled the weather, rather than protected him from it.
 
Bringing the rough recordings back to his home in Bali, Phil teamed up with Andreas and together they shaped the new sounds into a writhing pulse of deep-house while keeping the grit of its birthplace firmly etched within its grinding drones and beats.
