Eliezer Returns with ‘Chicken Town’ and announces 3 NYC label events
Eliezer, the founder of Chicken Town Records, announces his latest release alongside three new label events in New York City. Named after his label, ‘Chicken Town’ will be released on November 21st and showcases his bold, post-punk edge that has seen him carve out a reputation as one of New York City’s most fearless and forward-thinking artists.
The release captures the essence of Chicken Town’s sound, combining punk-edged spoken word with a genre-blurring electronic backdrop that is upbeat, irreverent, and full of attitude. Across three tracks, it presents a sound that sits somewhere between Eliezer and Underworld, delivering a bold, propulsive energy that feels both expansive and unmistakably thematic in its delivery. The result is a collection that channels the raw intensity of the underground while pushing confidently into new sonic territory.
Alongside the release, Eliezer announces three new Chicken Town events set to take place across New York City. The series begins on 21st November at The Sultan Room, followed by a night at Night Club 101 on 28th November. A third date at The Sultan Room will take place in January, with more events also set to be announced. Each event will showcase the label’s raw energy and spirit that defines Chicken Town. Championing freedom, fun, and a creative edge that is often overlooked by promoters.
Blazing through the international scene with an untamed, punk-driven sound that is equal measures electronic and innovative, Eliezer channels the raw vibe of acid house, post-punk, and indie electronica mutations. As a producer and artist, he has become recognised as a major player in the underground movement with formative releases on the likes of New Day Everyday, La Dame Noir Records, Play Pal Music, Nein Records, and La Belle. His personal edits that include ‘Psycho Killer’ and ‘Sinnerman’ remain in consistent demand with tastemakers and are exclusively available on Bandcamp, whilst recent releases ‘David Bowie’ and ‘Love Is A Drug’ continue to receive support from major players including Groove Armada, Steve Lawler, Oscar G, Makossa, Paco Osuna, Ruben Mandolini, DJ Harvey, Terry Farley, Vanilla Ace and Tom Novy.
Eliezer’s DJ sets effortlessly defy trends, driven purely by instinct, emotion, and an unparalleled energy. His sound has both influenced and impacted many notable players worldwide. With his diverse catalogue championed by both DJs and dancers alike. Eliezer has carved out a singular space, far from commercial dance music, yet undeniably magnetic, that translates from radio to where he thrives, in dark rooms and clubs that maintain the magic and openly celebrate rave culture. His sets are highly engaging and unpredictable, where each set is intimate, immersive, and unapologetically raw, taking each listener on a veritable journey of discovery.
At the heart of it all is Chicken Town Records, Eliezer’s no-frills, high-voltage label built for a disobedient and messed-up generation. Blending global classic acid house and leftfield electronica, alongside indie dance, dirty disco, and a modern punk spirit, it’s a resilient haven for outsider rhythms and rebellious minds. As the movement grows, Eliezer continues to define the sound of modern underground, where good music meets memorable times, and the rules are continually broken. This openly informs his own branded events and highlights why they are fast becoming a staple.
With a global following spanning the U.S., Mexico, South America, the UK, Europe, and Asia, Eliezer has consistently delivered his sound to some of the most respected venues across the world. His appearances include House of Yes (NYC) and Floyd (Miami) in the USA; The Block, Pasaz, Alphabet, Slippers, Breakfast, and Shalvata in Israel; MN Roy, Zamanic, Confusion Festival, Funk Club, Bar Oriente, and Futuro Primitivo in Mexico; Sisyphos, Kit Kat, and Golden Gate in Germany; Silencio, La Dame Noir Dancing Festival, Petit Palace, and Garage in France; and Audio Club in London.
Along the way, he has shared stages with forward-thinking artists that include Apparat, WhoMadeWho, Ivan Smagghe, Rebolledo, Marcus Worgull, Andy Butler, and many more. Eliezer’s Summer 2025 tour took him through Romania, Ibiza, London, Marseille, Paris, and Tel Aviv throughout June and July, before heading back to the U.S. to continue his local residencies.
Equal parts selector, producer, and underground agitator, Eliezer moves with a punk soul and a global perspective. Whether curating art-soaked parties or dropping raw, nu-wave rave tracks, he consistently pushes boundaries, shaping scenes into deeper, more unpredictable territory. His ethos is clear: disrupt the standard, and trust the instinct. A sharp reminder of why he’s one of the most vital underground forces today, poised to break through.
‘Chicken Town’ marks the next chapter in Eliezer’s growing discography, delivering his untamed electronics and arriving alongside three upcoming Chicken Town events across New York City. Designed to ignite both intimate underground spaces and global dancefloors, the release shows Eliezer continuing to push boundaries and carve his own path in electronic music.

Czech rising star THERA kicks off 2026 with a brand new remix of her single ‘Rewind’ by KNWLSY, out today and coming right on time ahead of her upcoming European tour supporting Jason Derulo.
After a huge 2025 supporting Loreen on a sold-out European run, THERA is now set for her biggest live moment yet, joining Jason Derulo on his ‘The Last Dance World Tour’. The run kicks off January 29th at Glasgow’s OVO Arena and wraps up on March 2nd at Prague’s O2 Arena, with major stops along the way, including London’s The O2.
“It honestly all still feels surreal,” THERA shared. “I’ve dreamt of playing arenas since I was a little girl… I cannot wait to perform in front of so many people and show this new era of THERA.”
She also spoke about how emotional the Prague show will be: “The thought of being able to shout Ahoj Praho! in my home city brings me to tears every time I think about it!”
On the music side, KNWLSY flips THERA’s August release ‘Rewind’ into a darker, club-ready remix, blending haunting melodies, driving energy, and her signature smoky vocals. The original track explored the cycle of love and pain in a toxic relationship, and THERA says it came from a real place.
“I wrote ‘Rewind’ about the never-ending cycle of a toxic relationship, where you know it’s wrong, but you can’t stop loving that person,” she explained.
With millions of streams already behind her and a rapidly growing international fanbase, THERA is stepping into 2026 with serious momentum.
Listen to “Rewind (KNWLSY Remix)” out now on all streaming platforms.
