Girls of the Internet’s manifesto is clear; to create dance music that calls back to how it was made at its inception, but with the knowledge and experience of the past 50 years of the genre. Joining the dots that have not been joined for a long time, the collective takes on people of all sexualities, gender expressions and body types. “We are very proud to bring this music back to its inclusive roots. Let’s forget the disjointed and cliquey scene we live in, and bring back what once united us.”
Finding their musical home in revered label Classic Music Company, set up by Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter, releasing alongside the likes of Honey Dijon, Floorplan, Seven Davis Jr., Isolée, and the mythical Spencer Kincy aka. Gemini; Girls of the Internet released their latest album ‘When I Lost, I Found Myself‘ in July 2024. With Tom bringing together acclaimed British vocalists and songwriters, previous singles from the project ‘Affirmations’ written by Sophie Faith, and ‘Never Ever Ever’ featuring shiv and Oscar Jerome, demonstrate the innate musicality of the project, with the intention, “to create beautiful songs within a ‘dance’ or ‘house’ framework.”
Crafting songs with real musicians, the group’s name was inspired by Ladies of the 80’s by Eighties Ladies, the album from a girl group produced by Roy Ayers, “I just loved the whole concept, and I wanted to do the same thing with Girls of the Internet,” explains the group’s founding member Tom Kerridge. “I wanted a name that played with gender, and people’s subconscious misogyny. Girls of the Internet is abstract – it means nothing, and it means everything.”
