Electro | “The Motion” Brings Back Classic Dancefloor Energy Thanks To Randy Perez & Ashton Adams
Posted by VMan on July 10, 2025
Phoenix-based duo Ashton Adams and Randy Perez dropped “The Motion,” a track built on a fusion of tech house precision and g-house energy. The collaboration ignited after a spark at Miami Music Week 2024, with Randy’s initial rough version evolving into a full, bass-heavy festival-ready anthem.
The single absolutely makes a lasting impresion. Ashton’s previous singles like “Move To The Beat Like” and “Alive” have racked up millions of streams, and fans are quickly rallying around “The Motion” with enthusiastic shares and playlist adds.
The song channels a nostalgic vibe, reminding listeners of the early days of dance culture when crowds moved as one. This communal energy is reflected in fan reactions and growing streaming stats.
Behind the scenes, Randy’s pedigree includes performances at Goldrush and Decadence Arizona festivals and opening slots for major artists such as Diplo and Valentino Khan. Ashton continues to build momentum with his BAANGERS tours and sold-out dates on Geordie Kieffer’s Bad Girl Tour.
Albums | Oberka’s ‘Regrow Protocol’ is Daring Journey Through Chaos and Rebirth
Posted by VMan on July 8, 2025
Taiwanese electronic music visionary Oberka, the creative alias of producer Huang Shao Yong, has delivered an audacious new chapter in his sonic exploration with Regrow Protocol, a 10-track album that defies easy categorization. Released under his own Dark Paradise Records imprint, the album is a bold experiment in sound design and structure — a thrilling fusion of chaos and clarity, rhythm and rupture, noise and narrative.
At the heart of the album is the explosive title track “Regrow Protocol,” which perfectly encapsulates the project’s core philosophy: destruction as a vital precursor to reinvention. What started as a playful live experiment in a Hong Kong hotel room—layering chopped pig “oinks” beneath hypnotic gamelan and balafon loops—evolved into a high-impact sonic statement reworked with warped vocal chops and pulsating rhythmic tension in 2025. This track embodies Oberka’s fearless, unpredictable approach to electronic music, where genre boundaries dissolve and new worlds are forged.
Crafted over nearly a year, Regrow Protocol represents Oberka’s most refined and conceptually rich work to date. Drawing from improvised live sessions, long-form demos, and experimental sampling, the album unfolds like a fractured ecosystem in flux. Tracks like the glitch-heavy “Frog” and the evocative “Please Remember” each contribute to a mosaic of dark energy and cryptic beauty, inviting listeners to unravel the complex textures and rhythms woven throughout.
Albums | UK-Producer Ch!mes and Chrxstal Sarah Soar on Dreamy New Single “Feel The Way I Do”
Posted by VMan on June 24, 2025
UK producer Ch!mes returns with “Feel The Way I Do,” a haunting new single that weaves emotional vulnerability into the fractured rhythms and lush textures of intelligent dance music. Featuring ethereal vocals from LA-based singer-songwriter Chrxstal Sarah, the track is an atmospheric deep dive into the complexity of moving on—accepting loss, while still aching for what might have been.
Built on a bed of sliced guitar riffs, layered breakbeats, and meticulously processed synths, “Feel The Way I Do” recalls the sonic signatures of Flume, Shlohmo, and Flying Lotus, yet carves out a distinctly personal sound. It’s a masterclass in emotional tension—every glitch and bass hit feels deliberate, echoing the fragmented nature of memory and heartache.
The production, built originally around a chopped Willow Smith acapella before evolving into a full vocal feature, is a testament to Ch!mes’ experimental instincts. Using Ableton’s “beats” mode to deconstruct riffs into swirling melodic fragments, the instrumental feels alive—breathing, twisting, and reshaping itself like a living echo of the past.

Electronic | Garvin Builds Forward Momentum with New Single “Party At The Ritz”
Posted by VMan on June 23, 2025
Garvin’s “Party At The Ritz,” released via Mr. Nice Guy Records, is built with purpose and love. The production stays sparse—tight drum sequencing, a looping organ riff, and subtle low-end pressure. The track holds its shape without lifting, dipping, or altering course. Garvin pulls in a specific intention with the production design bigtime here.. There are no synth pads, vocal cuts, or atmospheric effects layered in. Each part contributes to the rhythm system, rather than the topline. The tweaks with the mechanics play out as a positive when the track gets rolling, from start to finish to energy hits.
Upcoming releases on labels including Get Busy, Psicodelica, and Jack City suggest Garvin is building a catalog defined by function. Each track holds to a minimal architecture—designed to stand out in all the right ways. One thing is for sure, Garvin is making all the right moves.
That framework matches Garvin’s broader work through DRESDÔN, now evolving from an event series into a record label. “Party At The Ritz” fits that framework exactly—quietly reliable, fully usable, and free of unnecessary detail.

News | Azandr Shares “Unfade,” a Deep and Reflective Electronic Cut
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.
The artist is currently exploring a broad range of sounds from bass house to afro house, with the same core intention: to create music that makes people feel something real. With “Unfade,” Azandr continues to show potential for both growth and consistency—building a sound that’s honest, restrained, and purposeful.
