Exclusive Interview: Girls Don't Sync
In a music landscape teeming with innovation, Girls Don’t Sync (GDS) have emerged as a powerhouse collective pushing the boundaries of what DJing and music production can represent. Their debut single, "Come Thru", is more than just a track—it’s a statement of intent. Released under their freshly launched label, Fourmation Records, the single is a vibrant celebration of their journey, community, and vision for the future. Combining elements of garage, house, and their unique energy, GDS is redefining how music can unite generations and genres.
Creating a Soundtrack for Togetherness
For Girls Don’t Sync, "Come Thru" symbolizes a collective labor of love, born out of hours of creative collaboration. “This was the first original track idea we brought to life in the studio,” shares Hannah. “It was such an exciting process to take inspiration from all the sounds we love and mold them into something uniquely ours. To now share it with our fans and see their excitement match ours during our sets—it’s a feeling we’ll never forget.”
Sophia explains how the group took a thoughtful approach to crafting the track’s sound, ensuring it spoke to both nostalgic listeners and the younger generation. “We pulled from a wide range of genres, from minimal house to speed garage, and made sure the arrangement kept people engaged. A lot of time went into refining small details—taking elements out, putting others in, and listening back until it felt just right.”
Key to the process was balancing their collective creative input with the technical elements of production. Gaia fondly recalls a standout moment in the studio: “When we finally nailed the pianos, it felt like everything clicked into place. We’d spent ages getting them to sit perfectly, and when we did, the energy in the room was electric. It was such a team win.”
The track also features an unexpected vocal layer, adding depth and surprise to its sound. “We actually found the vocals on Splice,” Sophia reveals. “It added a nice contrast and complemented the track’s nostalgic yet modern vibe. Every part of the song reflects who we are and what we want our music to say.”
Surprising the Dancefloor
At its heart, "Come Thru" is designed for the dancefloor—a track that keeps ravers on their toes and invites everyone to share in its energy. Matty highlights the intentionality behind its structure: “The breakdown followed by the 90s pianos creates this euphoric moment. It slows down, pulls people in, and then surprises them by bringing everything back with even more intensity. Those moments of togetherness on the dancefloor are what we live for.”
The track’s infectious vibe comes from its universal appeal. “It’s a song about connection and joy,” adds Matty. “No matter your musical background, we want everyone to feel that invitation to ‘Come Thru,’ to let go and enjoy the moment together.”
A Label, a Tour, and a Mission
The release of "Come Thru" marks a pivotal moment for Girls Don’t Sync. Not only does it debut their original sound, but it also launches their label, Fourmation Records, and kicks off their highly anticipated UK tour. For Sophia, the timing couldn’t be more special. “Launching the label and hitting the road at the same time felt like the perfect way to connect with fans. We’re excited to bring ‘Come Thru’ to life on stage and to share what we’ve been working on with new and familiar faces.”
Touring also gives GDS a chance to spotlight the wider DJ and producer community. “Curating our lineups has been a highlight,” shares Hannah. “We’ve been able to book DJs who inspire us and give a platform to emerging talent who are integral to the scene. It’s a full-circle moment to see those we admire sharing a stage with us.”
Championing Community Through Music
For GDS, community isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything they do. “Our music is about bringing people together,” Gaia explains. “Whether it’s through shared passions, experiences, or values, we want our sets to feel like safe spaces where everyone can let go and have fun.”
The group also recognizes their role in challenging barriers and supporting marginalized voices within the music industry. “We’ve faced challenges, and we know many others in our community have too,” Gaia continues. “But those shared struggles are what unite us and inspire us to keep pushing for representation and inclusivity.”
This sense of togetherness extends beyond their fanbase to their peers in the DJ and producer world. “We’ve built such strong relationships with like-minded artists over the years,” says Gaia. “There’s a real collective sense of respect and celebration within the scene, and that energy fuels what we do.”
Looking Ahead with Fourmation Records
The launch of Fourmation Records marks a new chapter for Girls Don’t Sync, one where their creative vision takes center stage. The group is already looking ahead to future releases that reflect their dynamic influences. “We’ve been diving deeper into our inspirations, and you’ll hear that in the tracks we’re working on,” shares Gaia. “Each one has its own identity, but they all carry the same uplifting energy we bring to our sets.”
Their goal is clear: to create music that transcends genres and generations, leaving a lasting impact. “So much of our sound is rooted in nostalgia, but it’s also about creating something fresh and exciting for today,” adds Sophia. “We want our tracks to be more than just music—they’re experiences.”
A Movement in the Making
As they embark on their UK tour and prepare for what’s next, Girls Don’t Sync are proving they’re more than just a DJ collective—they’re a movement. Whether through the unifying message of "Come Thru", the inclusive ethos of their shows, or the vision driving Fourmation Records, GDS is carving out a space in music that’s all about connection, community, and joy.
So, if you’re ready to experience their sound, their energy, and their mission, Girls Don’t Sync have just one message for you: Come thru.
