Posted by VMan on June 13, 2025
With “Unfade,” producer Azandr delivers a focused and emotionally rich track rooted in melodic electronic music. The single blends atmospheric sound design with a strong rhythmic core, creating a piece that feels both inward-looking and fully formed.
The track opens with soft, evolving pads and a melancholic tone that recalls artists like Tales of Us. As it builds, subtle percussion and a low-end groove create contrast and energy without overwhelming the mood. The balance between delicacy and drive is intentional—every element serves the atmosphere without unnecessary weight.
“Unfade” reflects Azandr’s ongoing exploration of emotional clarity through sound. Influences from earlier years, including Boys Noize and the spirit of tracks like “XTC,” bring an added layer of grit and momentum. It’s not just mood—it’s movement, shaped with control.

News | Karasu Merodi Opens Up Emotionally with New Single “Let Me In”
Posted by VMan on June 7, 2025
Rising French electronic producer Karasu Merodi returns with “Let Me In,” a track that blends vulnerability and power. Built around themes of emotional isolation and inner strength, the single reflects his growth as an artist and continues to shape his identity in the global electronic scene.
The track tells the story of a young girl experiencing intrusive thoughts and emotional distance. As she turns inward, she finds stability in her music—creating a personal refuge where she can reclaim her voice. “Let Me In” turns that journey into sound, capturing both the struggle and the strength that comes from creating a space of your own.
Sonically, the track merges emotional storytelling with electronic production, combining atmosphere and energy in a way that connects with listeners on multiple levels. Karasu describes it as “a cry from the heart reshaped into musical resilience.”
The single follows key moments in his career. In January 2025, his track “Let You Go”—from his upcoming EP Astral Light—was featured on STMPD RCRDS Radio 066 by Nome. In 2023, his breakout “Reception Light” was chosen as Demo Day Track of the Week on Don Diablo’s Hexagon Radio Episode 432.
Since launching the Karasu Merodi project in 2019, he has developed a sound that blends Chiptune, Ambient, Downtempo, EDM, and Electro-Pop. His music is known for its emotional depth, unique textures, and honest songwriting. Most recently, he spoke about his creative direction and influences in an interview with We Rave You.
With “Let Me In,” Karasu Merodi continues to build on that vision—using music not only to express emotion, but to offer a sense of connection.
News | Toxic Rob Lights Up Summer with High-Energy, Genre-Fused EP ‘TOXIC SUMMER’
Posted by VMan on May 29, 2025
Toxic Rob has dropped a new five-track EP titled TOXIC SUMMER, and it’s packed with sharp production and a mix of styles that keep things fresh. Out May 23, the project moves between drill, Latin grooves, and electronic-leaning beats, all tied together by Rob’s steady delivery and clear direction.
It opens with “GET LITE,” a fast-moving drill track built around clean percussion and a catchy hook. “TABLA” adds in Latin energy with big percussion and a festival-ready feel. The middle of the project, “NOT LIKE ME,” taps into club territory—groovy, vocal-forward, and easy to move to. “50 WAYS” slows it down with more melodic phrasing and introspection. Closing the EP, “$OLDI” locks into a loop-driven beat with lyrics focused on growth and momentum.
Toxic Rob’s backstory is clear in the details. He started producing at home as a teenager, engineering for other artists before he had a license. After audio school, a steady run of releases and a rebrand brought him here. His collaboration with TroyBoi on “Dhunga” passed a million streams and put him on stages like Project Glow and Red Rocks. Since then, he’s had support from Brody Jenner and released a range of singles that keep building momentum.
There’s more on the way, but this EP shows he’s already working from a clear playbook that’s working.
News | Randy Perez Drops New VIP Mix of “Not Like You” on Synesthesia
Posted by VMan on May 21, 2025
Randy Perez has put out a VIP remix of his track “Not Like You,” revisiting the original with a more stripped-back, focused approach that aligns with his club-tested instincts. The Phoenix-based producer shifts the tempo, carves out more breathing room between phrases, and swaps out the forward energy of the original for a version that sits deeper in the mix.
This version isn’t designed to peak—it’s built to stay. The bassline swings with more feel, almost like it was pulled from a live take rather than sequenced. Vocals are filtered and layered with delay, slipping in and out like ghost phrases on tape. The synth stabs are concise and percussive, creating space rather than filling it.
“I fell in love with ‘Not Like You’ from the moment I heard the vocal sample almost two years ago,” Perez explains. “This is a song to remind you that you are unique, you are special, and there is no one out there quite like you.” That sentiment holds steady throughout the remix—subtle, never overplayed.
Released via Synesthesia, the VIP mirrors Perez’s broader musical priorities: simple frameworks, strong intent, and room for movement. It’s an evolution that ties directly into his live approach, shaped through performances in cities like LA, San Diego, Austin, and Milwaukee. Each gig feeds back into his production choices—practical decisions for how a track should function, not just how it should sound.
With over 95K streams on the original and past support from platforms like LFTD Global and Angry Dogs, Perez’s name is gaining reach through consistency. This remix gives the single a second life in a different context. DJs looking for patient, playable material will find exactly what they need here.
News | La Clara Sofia Fuses Groove, Gaze & Gesture on Seductive New Single ‘Lança’
Posted by VMan on May 10, 2025
La Clara Sofia’s new single “Lança” is all about tension—specifically, the kind that charges the air when a glance becomes an invitation and a rhythm becomes a dare. Drawing from the swagger of samba-rock and the shimmer of disco, the track reimagines the Brazilian phrase “lançar a luva” (to throw down the glove) not as confrontation, but as seduction. It’s a challenge to move closer. To give in. To feel.
The track marks the first release from her upcoming EP Abrasa, due October 10, and it sets the tone with purpose. Built on playful basslines, rich percussion, and her unmistakable vocal phrasing, “Lança” isn’t just catchy—it’s embodied. Everything about it moves with grace, from the poetry in her lyrics to the flirtation in her delivery. It lands somewhere between Rita Lee and Ana Frango Elétrico, but La Clara’s mix of physicality and restraint feels wholly her own.
A live session video, filmed inside the Centre Culturel Irlandais, reveals just how much breath and spirit the song carries in its bones. Backed by Lucimara Bispo, Nicolas Fleury, and Lucy Miller, she reinterprets “Lança” with a stripped, soulful intimacy that makes the groove feel almost sacred. It’s also a clear look at the world La Clara Sofia is building—one where tradition and experimentation meet, always pulsing forward.
With “Lança,” La Clara Sofia isn’t just releasing a new single—she’s extending a hand. The invitation is clear. The dance has already started.
News | ‘Shake’ Is Martial Simon’s Most Playful Club Weapon Yet
Posted by VMan on May 10, 2025
Start with “The Hokey Pokey.” Now set it on fire. That’s essentially what Martial Simon’s done with his newest single “Shake,” out now on Liftoff Recordings. The track opens with familiar playfulness, but within seconds it’s driving straight into the kind of high-impact drop you’d expect from a peak-hour festival set.
Simon has always played with nostalgia, but “Shake” is pure confidence. It’s irreverent, absurd, and totally addictive. The production slaps with tight percussion, magnetic rhythm, and a touch of childlike glee twisted into something rowdy.
He’s been climbing steadily—14 million Spotify streams, massive TikTok engagement, and a growing remix résumé including Jared Leto’s “Seasons.” But “Shake” is something else: bold, absurd, and absolutely built for the rave.
