Melbourne’s shape-shifting provocateur JXCKY emerges reborn with A BODY FOR AN EYE, a visceral and unflinching new EP arriving Friday, October 31. Spinning chaos into catharsis, the Chinese-Cambodian queer artist fuses rock grit and trap flair to soundtrack the beautiful mess of modern identity. Known for his razor-sharp hooks, falsetto-laced vocals and theatrical intensity, JXCKY has built a reputation for turning pain into performance — a sonic exorcism that’s as raw as it is radiant.
At its core, A BODY FOR AN EYE is a reckoning. “It’s a take on the phrase ‘an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind’,” JXCKY explains. “But what if instead of taking an eye, I plunged head-first and took… an arm? A leg? A body? (Metaphorically speaking, of course). I wanted to unravel the anatomy of revenge – what fuels it, how it burns through you and the consequences, if any. This EP is full of confession, deep-seated reflection, loss, taking accountability, hard-won clarity and, to this day, the unfathomable grief for someone I’ll always love.”
The result is a haunting, cinematic record that balances vengeance and vulnerability in equal measure; a fearless exploration of the emotional cost of holding on, and the freedom that comes from letting go.
The EP’s focus track, ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once” encapsulates this duality through both sound and vision. Accompanied by a striking video, the track draws inspiration from the Oscar-winning film Everything Everywhere All At Once.

“As a queer Asian, I resonated deeply with the film and it directly inspired the writing of the song and the video treatment,” says JXCKY. “Like the film, I wanted to use the concept of the multiverse to highlight my decline in mental health — no matter where I was or who I was with. I hope the song and video contribute to the conversation around suicide awareness and remind others that they aren’t alone in their struggle.” With its kaleidoscopic visuals and emotional rawness, “Everything Everywhere” stands as one of JXCKY’s most powerful artistic statements yet.
Following the release of his debut EP Thriving In Perpetual Darkness, which tore through Apple Music playlists and positioned him as one of Australia’s most compelling new voices – JXCKY took an unplanned step back from the spotlight to confront a widely noticed personal crisis. That hiatus became a turning point. Now he returns with A BODY FOR AN EYE – a bold reawakening that channels survival into sound. The project is both confrontation and confession, an offering to the queer, POC and creative communities he stands with. For JXCKY, music has never been just self-expression; it’s survival, reclamation and protest wrapped in velvet and distortion.
His rise has been equally as fearless as his art. A proud alum of the Converse All Stars AU/NZ Class of 2025, JXCKY also received a Creative Victoria Music Works Grant to fund this new body of work, a testament to his vision and artistic integrity. Previous singles ‘THIRSTY’ and ‘BUSTED HALO’ scored placements on Apple Music’s New In Pop, New Music Daily and Queer Australia playlists, with the latter earning spins on triple j, triple j Unearthed, His dynamic live performances have seen him take the stage at the Midsumma Festival Victoria Pride 2024, and his earlier releases attracted huge editorial support from Spotify, including New Music Friday, Pop n Fresh (where he appeared as cover artist), and Fresh Finds.
With A BODY FOR AN EYE, JXCKY reclaims his story in spectacular fashion, confronting pain with beauty, shame with power, and chaos with clarity. This EP isn’t just a comeback; it’s a resurrection

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
