Featured Tune: "Vampire" from Death By Selfie

reviews

"Beware the Bite: Death By Selfie Sinks Their Teeth Into Something Dark and Danceable"

Turn up the bass and brace yourself—Vampire by French electro pop duo Death By Selfie is not here to sparkle in the sunlight. It’s a moody, magnetic banger that ditches the glittery tropes and delivers a deliciously dark groove wrapped in synths that hiss like poison. With their first fully English-language track—and no vocoder in sight—the band steps into bold new territory, and the result is gripping.

The beat hits with a satisfying weight, driven by a pulse-thick bassline that feels like it’s stalking you from the shadows. Layered over this are slithering synths and sequencers that pulse with menace, making every second feel tense and addictive. Vocally, it’s raw and real—no digital masks, just emotion and edge. And that’s perfect, because this “vampire” isn’t some Gothic romantic. It’s the toxic friend who drains your energy and leaves you second-guessing your worth.

There’s a cinematic quality here, no surprise from a band who recently paid tribute to David Lynch. But Vampire doesn’t live in dream logic—it lives in everyday manipulation and masked malice, dressed up in darkwave disco clothing. You’ll dance, sure. But you’ll also feel it.

If Techno(o(on) was a spark, Vampire is a burn—a slow, haunting single that lingers long after the track fades out. Death By Selfie isn’t just evolving—they’re becoming something a little dangerous. And we’re here for it.
