Melbourne dance-pop singer and producer m8riarchy has returned just four months after her 2022 EP Never Drop with another floor-filler “Body”, released 29 June. An exploration of sexuality and freedom, the latest bop is an invigorating and playful celebration that will transport you straight to the club.
“Body is a sex-positive dancefloor banger that explores pleasure and connection,” m8riarchy explains. “I wanted to create a euphoric symphony that invites listeners to celebrate the joys of sensuality, sexuality, playfulness and self-expression.”

The sexy single was co-produced by m8riarchy and Matthew Hadley (Total Giovanni), who also mixed the track, and was mastered by Stuart Hawkes (Metropolis). Drawing influence from Calvin Harris and Robyn, the energetic track bounces between shimmering synths and deep basslines below her commanding vocals.
“I wrote Body ten years ago and struggled with the production to the point where I had given up on ever releasing it,” m8riarchy continues. “Matt expressed interest in collaborating and, given our similar tastes in dance music, it worked out perfectly for us to bring Body to life together.”
