Moullinex & GPU Panic "slow down" on new MXGPU single

Lisbon-based duo MXGPU, comprising Portuguese electronic innovator Moullinex and singer/producer GPU Panic, today share their next single “slow down,” out now via Discotexas. The track arrives ahead of their collaborative project’s debut album, Sudden Light, set for release on September 26.

While the previous pop-d&b single “find u” served as a step outside their usual palette, MXGPU return to their signature sound on “slow down,” a melodic, slow-burning, dance music meditation. Guided by the mantra “slow down to make a mark,” the track echoes the fragile moment before impact, when clarity cuts through the noise. “slow down” explores the intimacy that has defined their 360 live shows and their creative bond: raw, deliberate, while carving emotion into every analog synth.

“There's a pause, and time stands still. Your focus peaks, you can hear your own heart beating. When all you hear is shouting, a whispered voice will stand out. When everything feels rushed, it's time to take it easy. Slow down, slow down to make a mark.” — MXGPU

MXGPU formed out of a deepening creative connection between Moullinex and GPU Panic — a collaboration that emerged after Moullinex brought GPU Panic into his live band. What followed was a rare chemistry, where long-standing creative roadblocks gave way to spontaneous, emotionally raw songwriting. The project quickly became a vehicle for both artists to push beyond their comfort zones and tap into something more visceral.

Their live shows reflect that same ethos: intimate and immersive, performed in the round and designed for direct connection. GPU Panic’s vocals are there, right in front of you, cutting through the instrumental wall of sound and reclaiming human connection to the performance. Surrounding it all is a custom-built stage environment — sci-fi visuals, lighting inspired by James Turrell, and a hardware setup featuring Moog, Arturia, Teenage Engineering, and Dreadbox — creating a world where analog texture, improvisation, and visual storytelling converge.

MXGPU’s 2025 tour continues with a summer run across Portugal, including key festival appearances and club dates in cities like Lisbon, Porto, and Guimarães. The tour also marks a major milestone with the announcement of their first-ever U.S. shows, set for October in Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
