Leading up to the May 4 release of their new album MORE! (Get Physical), BOOKA SHADE will unleash their new single “Bad Love” on April 26.  The song is an irresistible, neo-classical vocal house tune featuring long-term Get Physical compadre and electropop’s first cosmosexual antihero Chelonis R. Jones (“49 Percent,” “I Don’t Know”).  Written by BOOKA SHADE’s Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier along with Jones, the single package will also include remixes by Cassius, Groove Armada, Kaiserdisco, Tim Green, Azari & III and Joe & Will Ask.

At the end of May, BOOKA SHADE will travel to America for select high-profile shows.  They’ll kick off a run of six dates on May 25 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY from which they will venture their way west for California shows in Los Angeles at the Henry Fonda Theatre May 27 and Irvine at the Oak Canyon Ranch for the Lightning In A Bottle Festival May 28, then to Colorado for the Bisco Inferno show at Red Rocks May 29, followed by the Sasquatch! festival in Washington May 30 and then landing at the Movement Electronic Music Festival in Detroit May 31.

Regarded by many as the best live electronic act in the world, Booka Shade have enjoyed a meteoric rise since establishing themselves with their breakthrough album Memento in 2005.  Worldwide club hits such as “Body Language,” “In The White Rooms” and “Charlotte” followed as well as their second album Movements, which is regarded as one of the last decade's classic electronic albums.  Five years on and with the release of their fourth LP More !—due out on May 4–Booka Shade delve deeper than ever before, delivering what has to be their most dynamic and accomplished album to date.
