Your Mate’s Ex continue to carve out a personality all of their own with the Irresistibly Nostalgic Electro-Pop Rush of “Bunny On The Run”

Arriving hot on the heels of their dancefloor shaker “Get Wet“. Manchester electro dance-pop duo Your Mate’s Ex continue an upward trajectory with another infectious party starter. As the summer season officially kicks into gear, the pair return with “Bunny On The Run”. The track is a vibey slice of electro-pop that feels tailor-made for late-night clubs and beachside parties across the Mediterranean.

What makes Your Mate’s Ex increasingly compelling is their effortless ability to channel the spirit of Manchester’s legendary musical heritage while sounding completely at home in today’s electronic landscape. Their music carries unmistakable flashes of 90s grooves that would have sat comfortably beneath the strobe lights of the iconic Hacienda nightclub. Also drawing from the city’s historic lineage of innovators like New Order and Joy Division. That distinctive Manchester allure and sense of nostalgia transfer seamlessly into their modern production.

At the same time, there are clear stylistic alignments with contemporary boundary-pushers such as Confidence Man. And also the effortlessly cool Fcukers, whose rising profile continues to grow as they join Harry Styles on dates for his Together Together residency in Brazil. Yet rather than simply borrowing from these influences, Your Mate’s Ex carve out a personality all of their own. They balance0o retro club energy with sharp pop instincts.

Inspired by a still from a vintage adult film, “Bunny On The Run” revolves around the image of a playboy bunny caught mid-heist. The concept allows the duo to indulge in playful, tongue-in-cheek storytelling that is equal parts glamorous and mischievous. The standout lyric perfectly captures the cinematic fantasy:

“Diamanté pearls on a lavender gun / She pulled up with the girls, took the money and run”,

painting a world where luxury, danger and desire collide beneath neon lights and pulsing synths.

With every release, Your Mate’s Ex demonstrate an instinct for creating tracks that are evocative as they are dancefloor-ready. “Bunny On The Run” isn’t simply another summer anthem. It’s a stylish reminder that the best electro-pop thrives on bold narratives, irresistible grooves and a knowing wink to the past.
