Shady Nasty, Fred again.. and KETTAMA Join Forces for ‘Air Maxes’


Sydney genre-benders Shady Nasty have teamed up with electronic powerhouses Fred again.. and KETTAMA on their latest single, “Air Maxes.”

Released today (July 7) via Steel City Dance Discs, the collaboration finds the post-punk trio leaning into textured synths and ambient tension while staying true to their signature edge. The project also features additional production from Fred again.., whose influence on the global electronic scene has been impossible to ignore following his chart-topping Actual Life series and recent collaborations with artists like Skrillex and Romy. Frontman Kevin Stathis delivers haunting lines like, “I need to be a doctor, not a popstar,” reflecting on themes of ambition, burnout, and the duality of real and imagined lives.
