Riding the momentum of a monumental year, ALT BLK ERA, the Nottingham-based sister duo redefining alternative music, return with their electrifying new single “Okay (Cyber Racing)”, out now via LAB Records. Arriving midway through their EU & UK tour with Pendulum, and fresh from winning Best New Artist at the Music Week Women In Music Awards 2025, the track cements Nyrobi and Chaya Beckett-Messam as one of the most forward-thinking acts in modern rock and electronic fusion.
Following their debut album Rave Immortal, which hit No.1 in the Official UK Rock & Metal Chart, earned them a MOBO Award for Best Alternative Act, and a performance on Later… with Jools Holland, the duo wasted no time pushing boundaries even further. “Okay (Cyber Racing)” propels their sound into hyperdrive, blending industrial bass, glitching synths, and razor-sharp guitar work into an adrenaline-fueled anthem that’s equal parts chaos and control.
With pulsing electronic production and an infectious chorus that lingers long after the final beat, the track captures ALT BLK ERA’s ability to merge genres without losing its identity. Their distinctive yin-and-yang vocal dynamic, Nyrobi’s haunting intensity against Chaya’s fiery delivery, cuts through the mix with confidence and conviction. It’s the sound of rebellion meeting release; of two artists racing toward the future on their own terms.
Speaking to their signature ethos, “Okay (Cyber Racing)” channels both danceable euphoria and raw emotional grit, encapsulating the duality that defines their artistry. It’s as much a track to move to as it is a statement of self-belief, futuristic, bold, and unapologetically loud.
Beyond the music, ALT BLK ERA continue to stand as advocates for inclusivity and hidden disability awareness. Nyrobi, who lives with ME/CFS, has partnered with BBC Introducing to improve accessibility backstage for artists with disabilities, a cause that mirrors the band’s deep-rooted message of resilience and authenticity explored on Rave Immortal.
With “Okay (Cyber Racing)”, ALT BLK ERA delivers a song that’s fierce, futuristic, and fearlessly their own. As their 2025 tour with Pendulum rages on, one thing’s clear, the era of ALT BLK ERA has only just begun.
