“HALCYON DAZE (CNB Mix) RELEASED”

21st October 2022  


Stream Halcyon Daze (CNB Mix) on Spotify


The latest PolSky remix is now available to stream on all platforms. 


PolSky announce a special collaboration with Film &TV composer Christopher Nicholas Bangs (AppleTV, Netflix) aka ‘CNB’ who has remixed Halcyon Daze into a futuristic electronic number, whilst enlisting the talents of Digital 3D Artists, Nelly Kleijer and Zak Silver-Lennard in order to create an exceptional collaborative piece of AudioVisual art – a key manifesto of the band’s record label ‘Disruptive Element’.


CNB says of his remix: "The original version is such a banger; I initially wasn't quite sure what to do for a track that already has everything. It's obviously a song with a retro feel, so I thought, how about transforming it by bringing a modern sound. I also wanted to honour the dark chaos and melancholy by including some haunting 90s dance nostalgia and that's how I ended up mixing in some old school jungle/drum n bass sounds too."


PolSky and Corp plan to release their debut LP - a collection of Indie, Pop, Rock sensibilities influenced by corporate zombies, elderly love affairs, brain function, mid-noughties video game addiction and the human obsession with shouting louder than everyone else, early next year -currently slated for Spring 2023.


More singles, videos and remixes throughout 2022 and beyond. Expect to hear much more PolSky in the coming months...

“100 Million Ways To Die”

RELEASE DATE: 27th May 2022  DIGITAL SINGLE VIA DISRUPTIVE ELEMENT MUSIC   


Stream 100 Million Ways To Die (Taiki Nulight Remix) on Spotify  


After the recent success on Apple TV's smash hit show 'WeCrashed', English indie outfit PolSky raise the stakes on their debut single ‘100 Million Ways To Die’ as they cross into the dance realm recruiting an almighty remix from Taiki Nulight. 


Sound designed in a melting pot of UK Garage, House and Electronic Dance Music, Taiki’s trademark sound is stamped on the crown of this remake as he showcases the sound that is instantly recognisable as his own. Reputable for a staple of releases on formidable labels such as Night Bass, Insomniac, Crucast, Punks, Dim Mak and his own Orient imprint, Taiki Nulight digs deep into his bag of tricks to present a deep and moody masterpiece.   


“Absolute pleasure to have been been involved in this one - Polsky’s Million Ways To Die is not a typical remix for me, so it was a pleasure to challenge myself and take this in a whole new direction. Hope you love it as much as me!" - Taiki Nulight

“100 Million Ways To Die”

RELEASE DATE: 31ST MARCH 2022 

DIGITAL SINGLE VIA DISRUPTIVE ELEMENT MUSIC 


Stream 100 Million Ways To Die on Spotify


“100 Million Ways To Die” is the first single from indie band PolSky’s forthcoming record, brought to you by Disruptive Element Music. This track has been synced to Apple TV's high profile production,  “WeCrashed” – the story of the spectacular rise and demise of the company WeWork, starring Jared  Leto and Anne Hathaway – and will feature prominently in Episode 6, Caviar, on Friday 8th April 2022. 


While the track title might sound nihilistic, this single actually brings an exuberantly positive and therapeutic take. As frontman and songwriter (and self-styled CEO of PolSky Corporation) Kris Warren states: “100 Million Ways to Die was written as a rallying cry of liberation, to fully live one’s life despite living in a genuinely frightening world.” 


The single also features a remix from CNB – the alias of Christopher Nicholas Bangs, an in-demand  producer and soundtrack composer whose eclectic work also includes co-production for rising artist  Nwando Ebizie (supported across the likes of BBC Radio 3 and 6Music). 


CNB elaborates, about the track and his rework: “I connected to this song, because of what could be  taken as a bleak message but is presented in a glorious and joyous way and turns out ironically to be a song about being alive! So, taking that into consideration, I tried to make it even more anthemic and uplifting by re-harmonising the track and giving it a different groove.” 


PolSky was formed by Kris Warren, a songwriter and music producer based in the South East of England  – the imaginative and unusual concept of the project being a musical Corporation working for the  good of the people. He started mulling over hypotheticals like: “What if PolSky (Corp.) sold cigarettes that were actually good for people’s health?!” (hence the iconic yet ironic artwork design series for this  single and its associated remixes).  


A respected and accomplished musical polymath, Kris Warren’s career began under the wing of Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie, whilst working in their September Sound studio. He paid close attention to Guthrie's production and writing techniques while absorbing ideas from sessions with Echo and the  Bunnymen, Terry Hall, Nick Lowe, Billy Mackenzie and many others.  


During the noughties, Kris joined agit-pop group BiB on guitar, honing his stage craft on the London live  circuit, culminating in a U.K. tour with The XX Teens, and an NME single of the week. Early works under the PolSky moniker included Kris’s production of two charity albums with students in special educational  needs measures. “The Pendragon Recordings” (2011) was facilitated in collaboration with actor and  screenwriter Celyn Jones and released to critical acclaim at the Barbican Centre. 


The album featured  collaborations with The English National Orchestra, Idris Elba (Driis) and Gentlemen’s Dub Club amongst many others. The second record, “Globe Sessions” featured artists including Serafina Steer (Jarvis Cocker) and Chris Bangs (Film & TV Composer/CNB).  PolSky (Corp.) has since evolved into a fully-formed, energetic Indie band with the appointment of  executive board members: Senior Synth Architect, Ben Warn (keyboards); Rhythm Logistics  Engineer, Alex Robertson (drums); and Low Frequency Systems Analyst, Chris Norman (bass). 


With the corporation fully assembled, they are now adding the final touches to their debut album: a  collection of perfectly formed pop songs about corporate zombies, elderly love affairs, brain function,  video game addiction and the undeniable human obsession with shouting louder than everyone else. 


“100 Million Ways to Die” is the first release to be taken from the debut LP. Written in response to the  last couple of years – a time when existential anxiety and the idea of death have been lurking uneasily in our peripheral vision – the upbeat message of the track is that once we find ways to acknowledge and accept these fears, we can live life to the full. It’s unsurprising that PolSky’s arresting, epic yet nuanced sound has gained high level attention in the  world of TV and film, and it is set to connect just as strongly with listeners the world over.  


Following the single, there are further remixes scheduled for release by popular dance producers  including Taiki Nulight, and then more singles ahead of the release of their LP which is slated for Spring 2023.
