South Korean electronic artist Senior Dunce has released a brand new single titled “City Centre”, marking the official start of his artistic journey under this moniker.
Unlike his earlier melancholic works, this track is a vibrant, energetic dance number layered with nostalgia, rhythm, and identity.
The inspiration behind the title “City Centre” comes from his time living in Liverpool, UK. As a foreigner unfamiliar with the correct pronunciation, Senior Dunce mistakenly pronounced it “cent- ray” instead of the British “centre.” Rather than mocking him, his local Scouser friends embraced the mispronunciation and even adopted it themselves in solidarity — pointing out how even native Brits struggle to understand the thick Scouse dialect.
“Those were the days I felt completely lost yet deeply cared for,” says Senior Dunce. “I couldn’t sleep many nights, overwhelmed by my outsider identity. But my friends helped me feel seen — and that feeling is immortalized in this track.”
The music video for “City Centre” was produced by Muturn, a Korean dancer and video creator who has long collaborated with Senior Dunce. Though unaware of the song’s full lyrical meaning, Muturn resonated with the emotional energy of the track. Inspired by his own party-performance projects, he developed a unique visual interpretation that blends movement and atmosphere in ways that complement the music’s heartbeat.
