Sudan Archives returns with THE BPM, a pulsating, genre-splintering third album that repositions the boundary between machine and soul. Dropping October 17 via Stones Throw, this isn’t just a new project. It’s a futuristic manifesto wrapped in dancefloor DNA. With the double single MY TYPE / YEA YEA YEA out now (and the seismic DEAD still echoing from earlier this year), Sudan steps fully into her Gadget Girl era, an alter ego forged through tech, self-expression, and the sonic lineage of Detroit, Chicago, and beyond.

THE BPM is what happens when electric violin, iPad-made beats, and ancestral rhythm collide in a chrome-plated rave. Sudan taps her own community — her sister, her cousin, her day ones — for a record that feels both wildly innovative and deeply rooted. This is art club music for the cyborg romantic, the self-made star, the emotionally online.

With MY TYPE, she leans into rap with a liberated, flirty strut, celebrating femme energy and queer-coded crushes over twisted, shape-shifting production. The visuals? Chaotic genius. The vibes? Futurist femme meets underground heat.

Sudan Archives is no longer just a cult icon. She’s a cultural disruptor. THE BPM is the future and it’s running on her rhythm.
