Remanence by Duxius

The album 'Remanence' is a new chapter and the first chapter of Duxius as a solo project. Working on this release, Edyta plays with form not only musically, but also visually - which we could observe on the occasion of the singles announcing the album: 'Daredevil','Nie wierzę w spokój' (I don't believe in peace), 'Dziki Bez' (Wild Elderberries) or 'Heute ist schön'. Each of these was accompanied by unconventional music videos, in which Edyta reveals her other artistic superpower - theatricality - to the audience. Thanks to this fusion, Duxius is a complete project, engaging on many levels.

In addition to the well-known singles, 'Remanence' features five completely new songs, showing the different facets of the Duxius sound: from energetic, upbeat, sometimes even guitar-driven, to calm, emotional ballads full of reflection. The artist gives us her view of the world around her, which at times overwhelms us and makes us want to shut ourselves away in our comfort zone, hiding from everything that surrounds us, and at other times encourages us to live in the moment, celebrate the 'here and now' and appreciate what we have. In short: this is music that tells personal stories in a universal way.
The album's premiere is accompanied by a music video for the single 'Wczoraj jest za późno' - the second part of the trilogy initiated by 'Heute ist schön'. The song is about the need for release and the feeling when we realise that we are self-sufficient and can act independently. The video, created under the direction of Michał Żak, is a perfect illustration of everything that the Duxius project is about. In it, the artist tries on various costumes created from paper by set designers Sandra Markgraf and Rica Mende, the authors of the project 'Anziehbild' (put on an image). The whole scene takes place in the atelier of Berlin-based painter Annette Goessel, and part of the video's shots is a recording of the moment when Edyta paints her first self-portrait.

Duxius, led by Polish artist Edyta Rogowska-Żak, blends languages, genres, and vibrant retro sounds into a bold expression of Polish Future Retro. Known for theatrical live shows and socially conscious lyrics, Duxius challenges norms and redefines power beyond masculine frames—merging nostalgia with sharp, modern authenticity.
