Muscle Memory ‘Get Lost’: A Journey Into Eclectic, Danceable Soundscapes

Muscle Memory’s latest release, ‘Get Lost’, is a testament to the duo’s evolving mastery of blending electronic and live music. Comprised of Steven Reker and Michael Tapper—two musicians with deep roots in indie rock—Muscle Memory has always brought something different to the table. Their latest track is no exception, offering a dreamy yet pulsing piece of synthpop that immediately transports the listener to another world. Imagine Fleetwood Mac’s harmonic layers combined with Giorgio Moroder’s dancefloor-driven production, and you’ve got ‘Get Lost’—a lush, infectious offering that is both introspective and unabashedly fun.

The track’s production is nothing short of captivating, with swirls of synths and basslines that draw from both the past and the future. There’s a weightlessness to the song, as though it exists somewhere between outer space and the dancefloor. Reker’s soulful vocals glide through the track, imbuing the song with emotion, while the thumping bassline and driving percussion push you forward. The accompanying dub remix by Midnight Magic takes the song deeper into the cosmos, while Muscle Memory’s own acid-infused rework offers a trippy, hypnotic version that is bound to turn heads.

Reker and Tapper’s musical chemistry is undeniable, a result of their shared backgrounds in the indie rock world. Before forming Muscle Memory, Reker led the avant-pop outfit People Get Ready, and Tapper was drumming for We Are Scientists. Their ability to channel their past experience into their new electronic endeavors has allowed them to create something truly unique. Their work behind the decks at their monthly residency at Nightmoves, the Brooklyn club founded by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, has earned them a loyal following, and ‘Get Lost’ is a perfect extension of the energy they bring to the dancefloor.

The duo’s energetic live shows are known for their infectious grooves and immersive performances, and ‘Get Lost’ is no different. The track offers the perfect balance of atmosphere and energy, with its glistening synths and driving rhythms creating an intoxicating vibe that draws listeners in. Whether in the studio or live on stage, Muscle Memory consistently creates music that feels alive, constantly evolving and expanding into new territories.

With ‘Get Lost’, Muscle Memory takes another step forward in their journey to blend the worlds of indie rock and dance music. Their innovative approach to production and remixing continues to set them apart, while their deep connection to the NYC club scene ensures that their music will keep resonating with dancers and listeners alike. If you haven’t yet experienced Muscle Memory’s unique sound, ‘Get Lost’ is the perfect introduction to a duo that is redefining what it means to make music for the mind and body alike.
