Nicky Night Time and Ali Love have collaborated for a hypnotising new single ?Ubiquity feat. Breakbot?. Filled with classic disco flair, funk riffs, and infectious vocals the track instantly encapsulates a dreamy dance-floor moment.
With each artist living in a different country, ?Ubiquity? has already made its way around the globe, Ali Love explains how the track came together, ??Ubiquity? started its life in Australia with Nicky Night Time as a drum and guitar track. Then made its way to London where I added electric bass and vocals very early in the morning. I recall there were about 8 Japanese girls in my flat for some reason, so you could say that really added to the song?s vibe. You can feel there?s a party happening. The tune then travelled to LA where, by chance, Nicky drafted in Breakbot, who wrote the amazing string and horn parts, and sent the song into the stratosphere. The stars have aligned and the vibe is ubiquitous.” Nicky Night Time adds ?It was a love project really and I think we felt it was a cool thing just to put out into the world between the 3 of us amigos.?
Widely respected Australian producer Nicky Night Time first arrived on the scene during the height of the electro-pop wave, touring alongside the likes of Phoenix, Daft Punk, Bloc Party and more. Traversing between various genres, Nicky Night Time has added his touch to Elderbrook?s ?Capricorn? and ?Numb?, as well as working with the likes of Nick Littlemore (PNAU), Touch Sensitive, Cut Snake and more! Recently spending time touring and producing alongside Nat Dunn for their project – NAATIONS.

NICKY NIGHT TIME INTERVIEW WITH FRANKIE SALT
How did you guys come together to collaborate on funk-filled Ubiquity?
3 years ago I woke up in Ali?s East London flat. Well the walk-in wardrobe actually where I was crashing which is actually his studio as well and Ali came in and said put on the mic I gotta vibe !! We recorded the whole song within a matter of minutes !! Like maybe 30 minutes tbh!
Then last year in Los Angeles I played it to Thibaut ( Breakbot ) and asked if he wanted to work on finishing it with me so we slayed down some more keys and drums on it and then his brother helped with the string arrangement and yeah that?s pretty much how it happened!
It was a love project really and I think we felt it was a cool thing just to put out into the world between the 3 of us amigos.

Predominantly music, friends and family, it?s very important for me to stay connected ? Also not to get too caught up with the hysteria of everything because then I find myself living in circles
