Conor & The GreensKeepers - Fly Guy Tai Chi / Devil’s Disco (Double Single)

Manchester-based outfit Conor & The GreensKeepers return with ‘Fly Guy Tai Chi’ and ‘Devil’s Disco’, out now via Submit Records. With previous support coming from the likes of Clash Magazine, the outfit have been solidifying their position as one of the North-West’s most treasured soulful exports. Filled with intent, frontman Conor lays down his words across a celestial instrumental, giving a voice to the underrepresented and misidentified with the message of self-acceptance, growth and success.

‘Fly Guy Tai Chi’ glides effortlessly with lush basslines and dreamy, spacey keys, all woven together by poignant synths that ripple softly over a steady, soulquarian-esque drum groove. Conor's warm, honeyed vocals float like a comforting breeze, guiding the track with grace and introspection. The track is an ode to self-growth, its message becoming gentler and more soothing as the minutes drift by.

“The perspective I have on myself and the music I make is all ‘The Garden’ ideology, the idea of constant work to make yourself better. A better version of you for you, but also for those you love and care about.” explains Conor.

'Devil’s Disco' embraces the idea of accepting everything—especially the uncomfortable. The track pulses with a hypnotic, feather-light groove, locking into a driving, rhythmic spell. Conor’s entrancing flow weaves through the music like a mantra, carrying the listener deeper into the dance of self-appreciation. He explains: "This took me to a place.

- I wanted to display the fact that I’ve been in places I felt like I shouldn’t be. That you don’t fit in ‘normal’ environments properly, that you stand out. I think the only way to remove that identity burden is to understand it is both; it is and isn’t you.

" Conor & The GreensKeepers channel an irresistible energy, weaving positivity through every beat and melody. Their sound radiates a magnetic warmth, drawing you into a world where rhythm meets optimism. As they continue to craft their unique musical landscape, they emerge as an artist whose uplifting presence promises to resonate deeply and linger long after the music fades.
