On October 31, 2025, barely six months after SPUR, xikers returns with HOUSE OF TRICKY: WRECKING THE HOUSE – a title that already sounds like a declaration of chaos. The accumulated energy finally explodes, destroying the very structure that had defined them since their beginning.

xikers – HOUSE OF TRICKY: WRECKING THE HOUSE – TRACKLIST

1. “ICONIC”

2. “See You Play (S’il vous plaît)”

3. “SUPERPOWER (Peak)”

4. “Blurry”

5. “Right in”

With "ICONIC," xikers asserts its international power: a sharp trap beat, modern guitar riffs, and lyrics that confidently proclaim, "Live my life, so iconic." The visualizer version amplifies this feeling, with the members moving through a neon urban setting that seems to float between reality and virtuality.

The track "See You Play (S'il vous plaît)" offers a palpable energy, but the tone becomes more intimate with the viewer. The French phrase, "S'il vous plaît," is pronounced with remarkable, almost natural precision, like a nod to Francophone fans and a reminder that xikers plays with languages and cultures while keeping its signature sound intact.

FROM ESCAPE TO DESTRUCTION

If in SPUR, the members seemed to wander through corridors, searching for exits, deciphering signs, and trying to survive in their digital labyrinth. In WRECKING THE HOUSE, something changes: they are no longer trying to escape the House; they are destroying it.

This evolution is not only conceptual; it is also emotional. The "House of Tricky" has always represented both a playground and a prison. Now, the group reclaims it as a space of liberation. It is no longer about being prisoners of illusions, but about regaining control, even if it means destroying everything.

SUPERPOWER (PEAK): TWO VERSIONS, TWO VISIONS OF POWER

The main version confines us to a series of enclosed structures: subway, elevator, corridors, and warehouses. These sets are not insignificant: they directly reference "도깨비집 (Tricky House)”, in the group's first album. The subway becomes a symbol of imposed journeys, mechanical constraints, and repetition. Here, the “superpower” is not yet destruction, but resistance to constraint. The members move within spaces designed to contain them, and yet, they impose their own rhythm, their own gravity. The lyrics – “Break all boundaries” – resonate among the metal and glass, like a cry that crashes against the walls before cracking them. This is not a literal interpretation; the space is not physically destroyed. The rupture is internal: it is an affirmation of power and energy, a transcendence of invisible limits.

At the end of the video, dance takes center stage again, a liberating role that opens closed doors and allows the members to escape. When the scene changes at this moment, everything shifts: the bodies synchronize. The phrase “Overnight we rock” becomes the key: they don’t destroy the walls, they escape them through dance. It is an inner transcendence, a kinetic metamorphosis: energy is the weapon, movement the escape.

The visualizer version (Spin-off Vers.) is the materialization of the verb “wrecking”: the moment when the power they have accumulated finally breaks its own framework.

The repetition of scenes: the “Tricky” loop

Here, certain scenes are repeated. This visual repetition creates a sense of deliberate déjà vu, almost like a glitch in the matrix. As if the “House” weren’t a place but a loop. With each album, they replay the same scene, but with a new awareness.

Thus, “SUPERPOWER (Peak)” doesn’t just recount destruction, but the repetition of a foundational memory.

CONFRONTING TRICKY: THE RECURRING ANTAGONIST

And amidst this chaos, a face reappears: Tricky. In "SUPERPOWER (Peak)," the band members seem not only to confront him but to surpass him. The subway, the elevator, the repetitive loops: all of this is not merely decorative; it's Tricky's playground, a space where he tests and holds his occupants captive. In this context, the destruction of the house also becomes a symbolic victory over himself, over the invisible force that has structured their universe since the first album.

POWER AS A NARRATIVE GESTURE

The structure of the music video, the sets, the lighting effects, and the lyrics – “Break down all boundaries,” “Overnight, we tear it apart,” “I’m like a super-powerful laser” – are not accidental. Each element contributes to the narrative: the cycle of confinement, liberation, and finally, conscious destruction. Tricky embodies the inner conflict that runs through their entire universe.

With WRECKING THE HOUSE, xikers are no longer simply playing: they are restructuring their world, rewriting their history, and asserting their identity. The cycle began with HOUSE OF TRICKY : Doorbell Ringing reaches its climax here: liberation is achieved not only through energy, but through the reconquest of their own universe.

In the House of Tricky, everything repeats itself, everything returns, but this time, the members are masters of their own destiny. The subway becomes a symbol of continuity, and Tricky himself, the antagonist, is no longer an obstacle.

By combining the two videos, “SUPERPOWER (Peak)” tells a complete story: movement and explosion, blast and shock, repetition and transformation. The home is destroyed, but it is in this destruction that freedom is born.

NEW CYCLE

By “wrecking” their own house, xikers may be closing the House of Tricky saga — or at least its first chapter.

Now, the question is: what comes after the ruins?

The destruction of the House could open space for a new world, free from the old constraints. In the logic of their universe, WRECKING THE HOUSE might not mean the end - but the reset.

Beyond the Walls

With WRECKING THE HOUSE, xikers confirm that they are not just another performance group; they are storytellers of chaos, builders of immersive universes. Their visuals, music, and choreography are not separate elements — they are clues to the same puzzle. And if the House is falling, maybe that’s precisely the point: to invite fans, the “ROADYs,” to step outside the structure, into something wilder and freer.

As their sixth mini-album closes the “Tricky” arc, xikers stand at the edge of a new era — powerful, unpredictable, and ready to reinvent themselves once again.
