Hellcat Speedracer Team Up with Alex Hosking on New Dance Anthem ‘Like A Tattoo’

Sydney’s rising electronic duo Hellcat Speedracer are back and turning up the heat with their brand-new single ‘Like A Tattoo’, featuring acclaimed vocalist Alex Hosking. The track is a fast-paced, euphoric dance anthem that perfectly captures the pulse of the Australian summer, energetic, emotional, and impossible not to move to.

Fresh from their SXSW Sydney performances, Hellcat Speedracer are riding a serious wave of momentum. Known for their chaotic, high-energy live shows and infectious electronic soundscapes, the pair are quickly becoming one of Australia’s most exciting new dance acts. On ‘Like A Tattoo’, they blend heart-on-sleeve lyricism with club-ready beats, delivering a track that feels destined for both festival stages and backyard parties alike.

“Tattoos are permanent, much like any love felt. No matter if good or bad, you’ll always be reminded of that tattoo – even if it’s a bad tattoo or a broken heart,” the duo explains. “This song is for the dance floor, a gee up for work or a BBQ. It’s got that summer energy, and we want people to feel joy when it comes on.”

Born from a single studio session with Hosking, the chemistry was instant. The track will feature on Hellcat Speedracer’s upcoming ‘Melomaniac 003’ club mixtape, dropping November 28, with a performance at Eton Mess Festival the following day.

With over 1.3 million global streams and support from triple j, George FM, and CADA, Hellcat Speedracer are solidifying their place in Australia’s electronic scene — and ‘Like A Tattoo’ is proof they’re well and truly here to stay.
