Hey music lovers, imagine a track that hits you like a pink glitter bomb wrapped in razor wire—equal parts club chaos and sharp satire. That’s exactly what FLOSS delivers with “Avant-Garde,” the focus track from her upcoming debut album b0dy c0un1. If you’re into dance pop that actually says something, hyperpop that refuses to play nice, or alternative dance with serious attitude, you need this in your rotation right now.
FLOSS, the Berlin-based artist behind the self-proclaimed “angry feminist techno pop,” is carving out her own wild lane in the electronic scene. Coming off the momentum of her explosive EP ANGRY B!TCH RAVE and a tour supporting Sophie Ellis-Bextor, she’s ready to blow up with this full-length statement. “Avant-Garde” sets the tone perfectly: theatrical, biting, and dripping with dark humor. The sleek electronic production carries a French je ne sais quoi flair while FLOSS dissects the toxic myth of the tortured artist who only blows up after they’re gone. Lines like “Do you wanna sell my sex tape? We can make it on my death bed” hit with campy brilliance and real existential weight. She’s calling out all the “Super Suicidal Superstars” and you can’t help but nod along while dancing.
The accompanying high-fashion arthouse video, directed by Maggi Geisler, matches the energy—visually striking and perfectly on-brand for her maximalist, surreal pop style. FLOSS has talked about her obsession with artists who found fame posthumously. It’s bittersweet, but it fuels this hopeful undercurrent that art and love can outlive us. That blend of confrontation and catharsis runs through the whole album. You’ve got unapologetic bangers like “Bass Bitch” bringing queer club chaos, vulnerable moments on “Wasteland” and “Body Count,” and tongue-in-cheek provocation on tracks like “Old White Man” and “Bikini.” The latter even earned praise from Tommie Sunshine as “fucking phenomenal” for updating electroclash for right now.
Sonically, b0dy c0un1 (out May 22, 2026 via recordJet) feels dynamic and alive. Produced with collaborators like Tim & Matteo (Team CuBeatz), Aufmischen, 3arthquaker, and the Female* Producer Collective, it balances polished punch with raw punk spirit. FLOSS blends riot grrrl fire with Berlin club beats, drawing comparisons to Uffie, Peaches, and Robyn while staying completely her own. Soft vocals crash against hard electronics, fierce lyrics meet poetic purpose. It’s cunty and angelic, playful and destructive, deeply political yet irresistibly danceable. Female rage on the dancefloor has never sounded this addictive.
Her journey makes it even better. Hailing from Northern Germany, FLOSS escaped small-town life to design fashion for Jeremy Scott in LA and JC de Castelbajac in Paris before becoming her own creative director. VOGUE has called her one of the most exciting new artists in the GSA region, and her online presence (millions of views, strong playlist placements) shows a genuine movement building. With upcoming shows at EUDAIMONIA in Munich, OEROL in NL, and more, she’s taking that sweaty, excessive live energy worldwide.
In a music world full of safe, polished pop, FLOSS feels necessary. She’s making hyperpop and alternative dance that actually challenges you while making you move. “Avant-Garde” is the perfect entry point into her candy-colored, feminist-spiked universe. If you love bold contrasts and bass-driven excess, this is your new obsession.
