On the heels of acclaim for his debut EP Big Talk Big Party, which landed on Atwood Magazine’s 25 Best EPs of 2024, Berlin-based Australian solo artist ANT ENOCH returns with his electrifying new single, 9INE to 5IVE. This track is a powerful anthem for anyone weary of the grind, exploring the spiritual toll of dedicating oneself to a job that lacks meaning. With its New-Wave-inspired production, surging synths, and ENOCH’s commanding vocals, 9INE to 5IVE urges listeners to reclaim their passion and stop sacrificing their vitality for conformity.

Co-produced in London with Chris Hyson and mixed by TJ Allen, the song captures the raw energy of a live band with a modern, cinematic vibe. Hyson’s lush harmonics and Allen’s punchy mix enhance the emotional depth, reflecting the struggle between yearning for freedom and facing constraints.

As ANT ENOCH gears up for a forthcoming record, this single showcases a darker, textured indie electronic sound. Celebrated for creating dancefloor anthems that resonate with emotional depth, ENOCH’s DIY ethos shines through, ranging from self-taught piano beginnings to collaborations with Grammy-winning talents.

Following successful headline shows and radio support across Europe, 9INE to 5IVE marks the start of a bold new chapter, challenging listeners to reflect on the cost of the lives they’re expected to lead.
