It wouldn\u2019t be EBM if the overtones of manipulation, submission and suffering weren\u2019t prominent and here they certainly are. However, one of the many things that separates Spike Hellis from their contemporaries is the clever sampling and sound design. Their sequences are dynamically crafted and move effortlessly between all hard-dance subgenres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Spike Hellis\u2019\u00a0<em>(S\/T)<\/em>\u00a0is preceded by their first EP\u00a0\u2018Crisis Talk,\u2019 of which its material contents seemed to seep into reality in the form of a widespread global pandemic\u2014all as they were getting ready to put it out into the world. Rather than playing a release show, they put the tape out digitally while under lockdown in their downtown LA apartment. With tour abruptly cancelled, they immediately got to work on the forthcoming album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, Spike Hellis has gotten back on the road and completed their first U.S. tour in Fall 2021, playing in good company with fellow artists and friends such as Choir Boy, Fearing, Soft Kill, Plack Blague, Riki, Nuovo Testamento, Twin Tribes and Body of Light. They wrapped up thier tour by playing Day 3 of Substance Festival at The Belasco Theater in DTLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are currently on a two-week long west coast tour and will also be a supporting act on ADULT.&#8217;s 2022 North American tour alongside Kontravoid. You can see the dates for both tours on the posters below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcusercontent.com\/b619dad5f286913825a10a10f\/images\/9e3d7628-1fee-06a5-c89b-2d3de14a5f79.jpg?resize=840%2C840&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"840\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mcusercontent.com\/b619dad5f286913825a10a10f\/images\/49396e4c-296e-753b-99f3-f75d3a37a78c.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Spike Hellis delivers from every angle. Primed for the after-hours warehouse dungeon, they use heavy amounts of fog and strobes timed perfectly to their live set. Perhaps you will feel threatened or slightly disoriented. Nonetheless, you will be thrust into their environment. While still in their infancy, they\u2019ve managed to turn heads as they cut their teeth in the LA underground. Blasting their bleak outlook and spreading their gospel of disenchantment and sarcasm, Spike Hellis announces their arrival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Los Angeles based electronic duo Spike Hellis, comprised of Cortland Gibson and Elaine Chang, will release their first full-length, self-titled album in April 2022 via <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=37797\" title=\"Spike Hellis share electrifying second single \u2018Mouth\u2019\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13,23,25,28,30,1907],"tags":[10680,10681,1245],"class_list":["post-37797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electronic-music","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-new-release","category-news","tag-mouth","tag-spike-hellis","tag-tour-dates"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/18D4FA36-A98D-4DB3-97C6-2757AA91A28F.jpeg?fit=2048%2C1638","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-9PD","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":37967,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=37967","url_meta":{"origin":37797,"position":0},"title":"Spike Hellis to begin tour with Kontravoid, Adult.","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"April 16, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Los Angeles-based electronic duo Spike Hellis, comprised of Cortland Gibson and Elaine Chang, began their tour with Kontravoid and Adult. on Wednesday, April 13.
