DEBUT ON DJ TENNIS’S LIFE AND DEATH LABEL
OUT NOW
Buy/Stream: X & Ivy – Special Attempt
MAY 8, 2026—Australian-American duo X & Ivy continue their hot streak of releases with their debut on DJ Tennis’ Life and Death label. Their new single, “Special Attempt”, is out now.
Marking a new chapter for the explosive project already backed by Peggy Gou, Bradley Zero, Roza Terenzi, Jennifer Loveless, BBC Radio 1, Capital Dance, Kiss FM, and more, “Special Attempt” arrives with serious momentum. It’s a raw, groove-heavy club cut rooted in classic house and ’90s rave, capturing X & Ivy’s playful chemistry while staying firmly anchored in dancefloor intention.
X & Ivy’s Todd Edwards collaboration “Keep Me” in 2024 marked an important turning point — but it’s their own ever-evolving release output and consistent support from key selectors that have sustained their momentum, with each release pushing them deeper into the scene’s fabric.
Their sound pulls from Chicago house, Detroit techno, UK breakbeat, acid, prog, and soul, landing between basements and larger-scale festival stages.
“Special Attempt” is out now via Life and Death.
