Perko – Prang is out now on Numbers. Released Friday 12 May 2023, it’s the Glasgow-born, Copenhagen-based artist’s first release for the label since 2020’s The City Rings. Featuring the club-ready ‘Prang’ in collaboration with Huerco S., and ‘Sisu’ made with Cucina Povera, the record highlights Perko’s commitment to natural collaboration as a creative ideal.

‘Prang’ is a long-simmering dancefloor cut that was torn down and rebuilt alongside Huerco S. during a joint residency at HeimA in East Iceland in late 2022, capturing the immense scale of those surroundings and the accompanying isolation. The result is an undeniable club record – an unexpected but welcome result from the two producers – with ratcheting tension and acute impact that doesn’t sacrifice psychedelic detail.
The dust from this anxious energy settles in the ambient ‘Sisu’. Created via remote collaboration with Cucina Povera, her voice has a powerful resonance with the spacious production, offering a tonal reset from the A side. The wordless vocals are luminous in an otherwise foggy track, which was developed alongside Perko’s friend and collaborator Aethers Spring.
Suited for dancefloor peaks and calm mornings after, Prang reflects the pursuit of collaborative energies and intentions that combine to succeed as more than the sum of their parts.
