Girls Don’t Sync have released their debut EP Code Orange, capturing the sound of a collective who have gone from underground club champions to one of the UK’s most-watched electronic groups.

Code Orange folds together UK garage, hard house and diasporic drums into a sharp and uncompromising statement. It reflects the cultural roots that shape GDS while pushing the energy of their live sets into a production format for the first time. Opening with heavy club-ready rhythms and finishing with experimental cuts that stretch beyond genre, it’s a project that maps the evolution of a crew now recognised as leaders in UK club culture.

To mark the release, Girls Don’t Sync are heading out on a UK/EU tour starting in Amsterdam. The run includes a headline London show at Archives over the Halloween weekend, promising a peak moment in their rise.

With Code Orange, Girls Don’t Sync move from being a breakout DJ collective to full-scale artists defining their own sound. It’s the start of a chapter that will push dancefloors and the culture around them forward.
