Take your Chances

After her colourful 2024 EP Bitte NEU!, Viennese multi-instrumentalist, producer and sonic explorer ChrisdeBug returns with a new chapter: Take your Chances and is joined by her humanoid Companions – musical partners who bring their own worlds of sound into a shared playground of electronic textures, live instruments and musical storytelling.
This six-track journey blends electronic and organic soundscapes with Latin, jazz and downtempo influences, exploring the hypnotic line between dream and reality, control and surrender. It challenges listeners to find and take their chances in a seemingly chaotic world.
The opening track “Don’t Get Lost”, a collaboration with Texan producer Luisa Housworks, combines playful Latin rhythms with subtle German phrasing and a persistent electronic pulse.
The follow-up “Chances” is a darkly grooving Latin-electronica track that sets the emotional tone of the EP.
Its reimagined version “Take your Chances” adds live saxophone by Markus Pagitsch, flute and ChrisdeBug’s voice, expanding the sonic universe into a cinematic melancholic space between dream and dance.
The track “Almost a Pleasant Dream”, featuring Dominik Fuß on trumpet and flugelhorn and Eva Brandner on keys, explores a dreamlike, ambient-leaning atmosphere that subtly blurs the boundary between electronic and acoustic elements.
The final track “Shut Up” takes a more personal turn – reflecting on relationships and shifting worlds – again coloured by light Latin elements and emotive synths. There is also a Remix by the producer Edictum, who transforms the song into a bright Synthwave remix, turning melancholy into movement.
