Australian dj/producer 1tbsp returns with a new single this week, ‘Pink Dress’, teaming up once again with Australian-Venezuelan artist cherry chola.
1tbsp and Cherry Chola first wrote together a few years ago, sparking a creative partnership that has continued to evolve ever since. That chemistry is pushed even further on ‘Pink Dress’, as they explore new textures and energy that lean into a bolder, dance-punk-tinged direction.
Speaking on the collaboration, 1tbsp explains that Cherry Chola’s versatility has been central to their ongoing work together, noting how her voice adapts effortlessly across styles. That freedom is on full display here and will continue across his forthcoming album “big soaps”, where the pair explore an even wider sonic palette.
“Fabiola (Cherry Chola) and I wrote together for the first time a couple of years ago, making ‘Limosina’ in about an hour before she had to run to another session. Fabby is quite prolific, and since then we’ve made a lot of music together. I love how her voice sits on different styles, and we got to explore that more on pink dress and on my upcoming album big soaps; a mutli-genre dance record that’s out on August 7th via my own label dottidot, and French imprint Recherche et Developpement.” ~ 1tbsp
The single is accompanied by a self-directed music video shot in Sydney, starring Cherry Chola alongside Soltera, and Sonido Sex on keys and drums. While the track itself was entirely produced digitally, the band-led visual reflects the raw, live energy that ‘Pink Dress’ channels, signalling a confident step forward in 1tbsp’s ever-expanding sound.
“We shot the music video in Sydney together with Soltera and Sonido Sex on keys & drums. Pink Dress felt like a strong step into a more dance punk direction, so it was fun to reflect that by having a band in the video, even though everything in the song was made on Ableton.” ~ 1tbsp
‘Pink Dress’ follows closely on the heels of 1tbsp’s recent single ‘Soulseek’, featuring Colombian-American artist Soltera, which also arrived alongside a wave of major announcements. The producer revealed details of a brand-new album, his upcoming North American “bubble tour,” his first-ever appearance at Coachella, and a month-long residency at London venue Phonox this May.
