Cork’s unstoppable live force BoolaBoom return with 'Too Much,' a darker, more driving cut that sees the 22-piece outfit lean further into the tension beneath their euphoric sound.
Following a breakout run that included major festival slots and a headline support for house legend Kerri Chandler, the band build on the momentum of 2025’s 'Shuffle' - a track that earned spins from Craig Charles and Track of the Week status via Dan Hegarty.
'Too Much' marks a subtle but significant shift. Known for their explosive fusion of house, techno, samba percussion and brass, BoolaBoom introduce vocals into the mix, adding a more immediate, accessible edge without sacrificing their scale. Beneath feverish horn lines and layered chants, a relentless sub-bass drives the track forward, before an unexpected, beatless breakdown offers a rare moment of stillness - reflection amid the chaos.
Lyrically, the single wrestles with temptation and self-deception, with bandleader Darragh O’Connor exploring the slippery boundaries between indulgence and restraint. It’s a theme that mirrors the band’s own maximalist setup: a globe-spanning ensemble delivering high-impact, “unplugged” dance music at full throttle.
