"Attention all frequencies. We are receiving a signal from the music sector. This transmission reports that a modern disco and R&B pop duo, known only as 'Genie,' has emerged from the distant echoes of a once-dominant global music wave. Their trajectory is set to reignite the sonic realms once claimed by the legends of old.

Their mission: to reimagine the fusion of Studio 54's exuberance with the soulful rhythms of the 70s and 80s. Genie has arrived, perfectly calibrated for the current retro pop revival, their energy pulsing across the cultural galaxy.

Their recent collaborations include revered sonic architect Don Peake, who engineered sounds for luminaries such as Gloria Gaynor, the Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye, and Ray Charles. With additional creative input from Isaac Peake and Motown veteran William Goldstein, Genie’s craft has produced a set of frequencies—upbeat, catchy, and primed for mass transmission."
