PHYLO X Q26

Introducing Q26 — a duo reshaping the emotional architecture of underground electronic music.Something unique has quietly been forming in Brisbane. Q26 emerge as a forward-leaning electronic partnership crafting sound for the in-between hours — where night culture dissolves into daylight and intimacy meets impact.Built on the philosophy of “warehouse for the afternoon,” Q26 blur the boundaries between breakbeat propulsion, house-rooted physicality and atmospheric experimentation. Their productions balance raw system energy with striking vulnerability, guided by a vocalist whose presence converts textured, abstract rhythms into something deeply human and immediate.Rather than chasing genre, Q26 build environments. Their music feels cinematic yet club-ready; expansive but personal. It is this tension that is quickly dening the duo’s identity and drawing attention from listeners seeking electronic music with emotional weight.As Brisbane continues to assert itself within the global conversation of underground music, Q26 represent a new voice from the city: thoughtful, immersive, and impossible to categorise.“Love/string.project” stands at the emotional centre of Q26’s body of work, revealing the duo at their most vulnerable and transportive. Cinematic melodic threads stretch across a jungle inspired late-night pulse. What begins in restraint slowly opens into something deeply human, where feeling and movement become inseparable.Balancing intimacy with physical momentum, Q26 crafts a rare danceoor moment. love/string is tender without losing drive and reective without retreating inward. As a lead statement, “Love/string.project” demonstrates a dening sound for Q26: cinematic, immersive, and emotionally fearless.With a series of releases scheduled to unfold later in the year, Q26 are carefully constructing a world around their sound — one that reaches beyond the danceoor into visual language, space, and narrative.love/string.project is out on all major streaming platforms 26/02/26 or, a small purchase can be made via Bandcamp.
