The Kasablanca duo are back with their first release of the year together with Township Rebellion just dropped ‘It’s Chemical’ (released May 14, 2026, via MAHOOL), it delivers the perfect energy for their signature sound. Fresh off the monumental success of their debut album Higher Resolution, delivers a high energy melodic techno track. For their latest project, they’ve teamed up with the masters of dark, melodic techno, it marks the duo’s first major follow-up since their 2025 album.

This shift aligns perfectly with their ongoing “Better Today Better Tomorrow” tour. For fans who witnessed their recent 360° immersive sets in Seattle, Buffalo Toronto and more saw a duo focused on “dissolving the barrier between performer and crowd. ‘It’s Chemical’ feels like the official soundtrack to that mission—raw, deeply immersive.

Review:

This collaboration isn’t just a standalone single; it’s a pivot. While Higher Resolution explored the boundaries of melodic house and emotional synth-pop, ‘It’s Chemical’ leans into a darker, more industrial sound. The song is darker sounding with blending signature Kasablanca analog synths. It’s a 5 minute song that builds into a melodic techno journey.

Tour

While they have historically focused heavily on the North America market, 2026 marks a major push into the European market with their “Better Today Better Tomorrow” tour. Kasablanca will take their tour globally with upcoming dates in Berlin, Romania, Poland and more in Europe.
