He has also been featured on SLAM!

Marking one of his biggest releases to date, EQRIC has now just unveiled his brand new EP, coming to Nightblue Music & Deep Universe to share Dark Lies.

“‘Dark Lies’ encapsulates a meaningful stage in my life, sharing an original body of work using the artistic styles I’ve developed throughout my musical career.

Arguably closing out the most successful year of his career so far, EQRIC has definitely set himself up for even more success in 2021. Hitting 956k Spotify monthly listeners in August (140th artist amongst all Canadian musicians), seeing his remix of “The Box” by Roddy Ricch go viral on TikTok with over 100 million views and being featured on SLAM! Radio – as well as numerous other radios around Europe – have been long time coming achievements for the talented artist.
Having dropped more than a dozen of singles this year, EQRIC is keeping up the pace with his latest, groovy release “Turn The Lights Off.” Teaming up with fellow artists VADDS and Lonnel, EQRIC is able to craft a captivating house tune, filled with groovy basslines and infectious vocals.
“‘Turn The Lights Off’ is mysterious, using elements of deep house with a hypnotizing, catchy vocal chop melody that, alongside the bass rhythms, puts the listener in a trance. When I was making it, I felt as though I was experiencing one of those night drives, where you get lost in your thoughts as you drive into the darkness with ‘the lights off,” explains EQRIC.
