Antony and Cleopatra (musical duo)

The duo's debut single as lead artists, "Sirens", was released March 3, 2015 on Vitalic Noise.[7][8] The official music video was co-directed by Burnett and Blay with Andrew Bird.[9]

On social media, the duo said of the track and the minimalist video: "The bigger the city, the lonelier you'll feel within it... You can't escape the sounds of sirens in London and the constant reminder of how lucky we are not to be the sirens' endpoint... In this modern era of frenetic videos, we wanted to make a video that moves you through simple emotion rather than explosions and dudes backflipping." [10]

Later in 2015 they released the single 'Take Me'. They told The 405 of the track, it: 'draws heavily on the traditions of UK dance music, and this track is at its heart a shout out to all of their favourite elements. Diva vocals, breakbeats and dark textures combine...'[11][12]

The official video features a montage of classic famous couples through history.[13] It was directed by Australian digital artist 'Ego'[14] and premiered on 'Ear Milk' on June 2, 2015.[15]

'Love Is A Lonely Dancer' was released as a single on March 11, 2016. It was picked up as one of Wonderland Magazine's tracks of the week. [16] The video was directed by Alan Masferrer, with choreography by Anna Hierro and VFX by Nico Zarza.[17][18]

In 2017 Antony & Cleopatra signed with Dew Process / Universal Music Australia.

Their July 2017 single 'Dust' was added to high rotation on Australian national radio station Triple J. The video was again directed by digital artist 'Ego' and was The Au Review's "Music Video of the Day" on July 12, 2017.[19][20]

Subsequent singles in 2017 & 2018 were 'Twitch',[21] 'The Islands',[22] and 'Hurt Like Hell'. 'The Islands' featured Blay's first rap vocals. All tracks were playlisted at Triple J, with 'The Islands' receiving A-list rotation.

On May 1, 2019 they announced a new single 'Why Don't You Just Call Me' online,[23][24] to a strongly positive critical reaction[25][26] . The track premiered on UK pop music blog Pop Justice,[27] where it was described as "a total sun-out-windows-open-volume-up discohouse thunderer".

November 23, 2018 saw the release of their 6-song debut EP, Hurt Like Hell. Blay described the EP as "the best way of showing our more techno and weird musical moments that you'd see in our live show or DJ set.".[28]

The EP was immediately named The AU Review's "Album of the Week" [29] and received strong reviews across the board:[30]

• ""Hurt Than Hell" packs a punch with its twisting synth stabs and looping vocals, while songs like "Hard Feelings" pulse with a thick house bounce and 8-bit twists which together, straddle on that fine line between both forward-thinking and nostalgic - something that is super, super hard to pull off, but something that Antony & Cleopatra do so with ease."
  - Pile Rats[31]
• "Hurt Like Hell is like escaping into a dark basement club with pumping beats echoing off the red-lit walls for twenty minutes. Antony & Cleopatra create danceable tunes with new twists and turns making their electronic project standout, and unlike other artists this Duo does not get lost in wide seas and endless possibilities of electronically produced music. Recognising that it is not about who can layer the most beats, they pick the most interesting tunes out of the broad spectrum and arrange them carefully to an intelligent EP, and a ready-made playlist for any good party." 4/5 stars
  - The AU Review[32]
• "The “Hurt Like Hell” EP is a strong offering from the London duo, keeping the tradition of UK house music alive while adding a fresh modern take on production."
  - The Kollection[33]
• "From its warped melodies, rubber mallet beats, and swirling, psychedelic, electronic notes, 'Hurt Like Hell' is instantly recognisable as an addictive hit."
