The New Citizen Kane is the electronic project of English DJ and producer Luke Michael Kane, a self-described rhythm and synth world built around emotional depth as much as dancefloor impact. His new single, “Intertwine,” is the lead track from PSYCHEDELIKA PT. 2 and arrives October 2nd, opening the next chapter of a project that has already moved through an “Awakening” phase and now turns toward “Desire.”
Intertwine
“Intertwine” is built around the conflicting pull of attraction in a world where everyone is permanently online. Rather than judging anyone for that, the song simply asks how two people can get past the profiles, notifications, and constant scrolling long enough to actually be present with each other. Kane leans on technological language to make the point, blocks, data, uploading, and mainframes all standing in for the ways people try to analyze one another, while the message underneath pushes the opposite way: sometimes you have to stop processing and just experience the person in front of you. The idea plays out as flirtation more than lecture, the electric stretch when curiosity starts turning into attraction and instinct gets a head start on the thinking.
Musically, the track sits firmly inside Kane’s electronic world, refreshing, hypnotic textures giving it a modern pulse while the overall mood stays sensual, psychedelic, and euphoric. Rather than treating electronic music as something cold or mechanical, he uses it to chase something physical, movement, anticipation, and the urge to get closer, and the whole thing carries a playful, flirtatious atmosphere even while it takes on serious concerns about how disconnected modern intimacy can feel. The official video adds to that, exploring the human side of the dancefloor through glitchy visual effects and a deeply vulnerable performance, and it’s already available to watch below. Placed at the start of PSYCHEDELIKA PT. 2, “Intertwine” works as more than a standalone single. It introduces a new emotional chapter in Kane’s evolving universe, one where analysis gives way to instinct.
