Rainbow Laces, the moniker of Hackney Wick’s own John Le Drew, pulls no punches with his latest album, F*CK CLUB. Out now on all major platforms, it’s not just an album—it’s a manifesto. A sonic exploration of the raw, messy, and unapologetic intersection between the dancefloor and sexual expression.

Far from overtly erotic, F*CK CLUB doesn’t aim to titillate—it dares to liberate. This is music for bodies in motion, for the spaces where desire, connection, and rhythm collide. From the brooding intensity of Touch to the unrelenting pulse of Sweatbox and the hypnotic fervour of Ritual, the album captures the visceral energy of nightlife and the unspoken narratives it holds.

It’s a celebration of the dancefloor as a sanctuary where shame dissolves under the heat of the lights and the weight of the bass.

With fearless spoken-word vocals, driving basslines, and a fusion of house, techno, breakbeat, and trip-hop, F*CK CLUB is a love letter to the night. It’s the sound of sweat, skin, and fleeting beauty—a reminder that music, like desire, is best experienced without apology.

Listen Now!

 

Heat. Sweat. Desire.

A simmering, minimal soundscape blending pulsing techno and house, this track mirrors the charged energy of a packed dance floor at its peak. Sparse, sultry vocals loop over a rhythm that’s both hypnotic and tactile, drawing listeners into its intimate tension.


Pulse

A stripped-back, meditative dive into the dancefloor’s heartbeat, this track’s deep basslines and shimmering textures sync effortlessly with the body’s rhythm. No lyrics here, just the unrelenting groove of music in its purest, most physical form.


Touch

Driven by a growling bassline and direct, bold spoken vocals, this track channels raw physicality. Its relentless energy mirrors the heat of desire, pulling listeners into a world of tension, urgency, and connection.


Echoes

Dark, introspective trap beats meet trip-hop textures in this brooding track. Spoken vocals ripple like whispers through fractured percussion and deep basslines, capturing the ache of memory and the ghost of a touch that refuses to fade.


Electricity

This track surges with dark techno and driving house grooves, building to a chaotic, high-energy rave climax. The confident spoken lyrics thread through the rising tension, capturing the raw magnetism of connection on the dancefloor.


Sweatbox

Unapologetically chaotic, this fusion of breakbeat, techno, and house captures the raw madness of raving. Heavy basslines and frenetic rhythms drive the track forward, embodying the sweaty, visceral euphoria of the dancefloor at its wildest.


Ritual

Fusing polyrhythmic tribal percussion with relentless techno beats, Ritual channels primal instinct and collective energy. Syncopated bass lines and layered chants build to a euphoric release, turning the dancefloor into a sacred space of rhythm and movement.


In the Dark

Slowing the pace, this intimate track wraps warm basslines and flickering percussion around spoken vocals that describe an escape from the frenzy of the dancefloor to something more private. Subdued yet persistent, it’s a tender reprieve from the chaos.


Skin

A dark, brooding blend of trap and trip-hop, Skin pulses with the weight of memory. Sparse percussion and whispered vocals recount how the body holds onto every scar, kiss, and caress. It’s a visceral, haunting exploration of sensation and memory.
