HARLEY GIRL is a new project from Gold Coast songwriter/producer Connor Grant (aka Akurei), who is crafting a unique blend of dance music with house and breakbeat influences, resulting in a sound that can be likened to a mix between DJ ADHD, Mura Masa and Nikki Nair.
Connor launched the project in 2024 with a three-track EP called “1-800 HARLEYGIRL” and quickly backed that up with two other stand-alone singles that we’ve been vibing real hard ever since.
We were very excited to hear there is a bunch of new music on the way, and the first taste of that fresh batch arrives today with the release of ‘do it like that’ which is hitting all the right spots!
“do it like that is the latest track i’m sharing from my 2018 Hyundai Kona. In all seriousness, my philosophy for this track, and all the stuff I’m working on has been constraint – whether that be time, space or both. Lately, I find the most exciting ideas come in the 15-minute windows on my laptop in my car between work, over the full days off in total solitude.
i started this project about a year ago, before I understood what I liked to play out and mix. ‘do it like that’ feels a lot more ‘me’ – i love tracks that make you wanna bounce and I feel like this one really does. more to come later this year.” ~ HARLEY GIRL
