HABITS are the future of club music, a steamy, smoky vision of quicksilver dancefloors fueled by the dark, fierce and alluring. Based in Melbourne, Mohini and Maia produce dark-club tracks that explore the nature of ugly, complex feelings through the strength of a thick bass line, emotionally warped lyrics and the catharsis of an inevitable drop. Described as “going to a yoga class on MDMA” by i-D, HABITS are undisputably the most intimate, empowering and sweat-inducing act in Australia.
Their sophomore EP Salty, due June 15, is an anthology unified in its distaste at societies rejection of sensitivity. From ‘Selfie’ a fervent visibility anthem and clap back at toxic masculinity, to the nauseating apology that is ‘Shame/Desire’, each song provides a home for feelings and thought processes whose purpose are often doubted. What defines Salty is an understanding that vulnerability enables the most authentic self. In an age where presenting our best is amplified by social media, Mohini and Maia spark a cycle of empowerment rooted in the validation of the most clammy, gut wrenching emotions.
