On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, retro-futurist dance duo CŒUR ACIDE blend high fashion, cinematic storytelling, and 90’s warehouse rave energy in their explosive new Toucan Sounds single, “LET’S SWEAT.”
The retro-futurist dance project CŒUR ACIDE has officially released their heavy-hitting new single, “LET’S SWEAT,” out now via Toucan Sounds. Operating as much more than a traditional musical act, the mysterious live duo crafts an immersive world where music, high-fashion, and artifact culture collide. Channeling the decadent club glamour of the late 1980s and early 1990s through a futuristic lens, the project functions as a cinematic rebellion set against a dystopian backdrop where artistic expression and human intimacy are strictly forbidden.

Meet the Masterminds Behind the Mythos
CŒUR ACIDE is the creation of acclaimed Canadian artist and producer Pat Lok—who boasts over 100 million streams—alongside Haitian-Mexican vocalist and multi-disciplinary artist F-MACK.
The pair previously collaborated on the track “Dirty Luv,” which was A&R’d by A-Trak and released on Chromeo’s Juliet Records. Following that success, they have earned critical praise from tastemaker publications including Dancing Astronaut, Earmilk, and LADYGUNN. Together, Lok and F-MACK deliver a mysterious live experience that draws comparisons to iconic acts like Empire of the Sun and Hercules and Love Affair.
Exploring the Sound of the Self-Titled EP
Described as signals sent back from a lost future, the duo’s music is designed to be experienced rather than simply heard. Each track acts as a distinct memory fragment contributing to a larger, overarching cinematic narrative:
- “LET’S SWEAT”: A high-octane, explosive 1990s warehouse rave anthem designed to get bodies moving.
- “WHISPER FROM ABOVE” & “BITE ME”: Tracks that channel classic ballroom culture and energy.
- “ACID HEART” & “BOUGIE”: Songs infused with soaring, nostalgic 1980s R&B sensibilities.


World-Building Beyond the Music
CŒUR ACIDE positions themselves as time-travelling refugees from a future where creativity and closeness are outlawed, turning every release into a call for liberation.
The project recently brought its expansive lore to life with an exclusive, sold-out debut live show in Mexico City. The immersive performance not only showcased their high-fashion aesthetic and seductive acid house sound, but also introduced signature custom tea blends as central physical artifacts of the ongoing storyline. As they continue to roll out new music, CŒUR ACIDE proves they are redefining the intersection of electronic music, fashion, and sci-fi world-building.
