Soulwax have released the third track from the upcoming album ‘All Systems Are Lying: ‘New Earth Time‘ on Friday, August 22, 2025.
Already a fan favorite in the live shows, ‘New Earth Time‘ is a brilliant song that mixes pop and dance in a typical Soulwax fashion.
So what is exactly ‘New Earth Time’?
This is what wikipedia says:
New Earth Time (or NET), also called degree time, is an alternative naming system for measuring the time of day proposed in 1999. In NET the day is split into 360 NET degrees, each NET degree is split into 60 NET minutes and each NET minute is split into 60 NET seconds. One NET degree is therefore equivalent to four standard minutes, and one standard hour is equivalent to 15 NET degrees.
NET is equivalent to the UTC read from a 24-hour analog clock as the clockwise angle past midnight of the hour hand. For example, noon is 180°0′0″ NET and at that time the hour hand is pointing straight down forming a 180° angle when measured from the top, at midnight. A full circle is 360 degrees and one NET day.
New Earth Time was invented on 15 September 1999 by Mark Laugesen from Auckland, New Zealand.
