Over the last few years, MADMADMAD have built a steady reputation as one of the UK’s most thrilling electronic acts through constant touring and an unbeatable live show that’s cemented their status as true left-of-center innovators in their class. And the Tottenham-hailing trio is just getting started: with a new EP set for release later in 2025 that finds Benji Bouton, Kevin Toublant, and Matt Kelly reinventing their own sound and reflecting the chaos of the world around them, it’s about to be a mad, mad, mad year for anyone who crosses their path—and all the better, too.
MADMADMAD emerged in 2017 out of impromptu late night jam sessions in a North London flat-turn-studio. The result of those DIY excursions was a self-released white-label EP that sold like hotcakes and generated an instant level of buzz for the group along with their energetic performances around the UK—a live presence that led to MADMADMAD opening for electronic pop auteur Róisín Murphy in 2022 and eventually becoming her backing band.
Across three full-lengths albums, the trio have showcased a beguiling and constantly shapeshifting sound inspired by Black Devil Disco Club and Parliament-Funkadelic’s otherworldly looseness, as well as the early 2000’s electro and the rough-and-ready dance-punk sonics of New York City circa the late 1970s and early 1980s—think Liquid Liquid, ESG, and James Chance and the Contortions with a thoroughly modern coat of paint lovingly splattered atop the framework those bands established.
“The New York scene has definitely been a strong influence for us. It buzzes in all directions, and it’s pretty punk-y on every side of the spectrum.” MMM
