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.
Electronic | Kay Wagner Shares New Single “Arise” via WAE Music
Posted by VMan on June 7, 2025
Kay Wagner returns with “Arise,” a new release on WAE Music that builds on the momentum of his past chart success. Earlier singles like “The Raver” and “Wanted” earned placements on Beatport’s Top 100 Techno Tracks, while consistent support from electronic radio platforms and club DJs across Europe has helped cement his presence in the genre.
Operating from Frankfurt, Wagner draws influence from the city’s longstanding techno culture. His work focuses on form, rhythm, and functional use—avoiding excess in favor of tracks that serve a clear purpose in the mix. He continues to prioritize usability and cohesion in each production.
“Arise” delivers a controlled and minimal framework. It opens with an acid-leaning low-end sequence and follows through with evenly spaced percussion. Vocal snippets appear briefly, used more for tone than message. The track holds a steady dynamic from start to finish, without peaks or drops.
The result is a streamlined techno record suited for professional use. “Arise” reflects Wagner’s consistent style: clean, direct, and crafted for DJs who value structure and subtle momentum over dramatic flair.

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.
Albums | Shaiboy’s “Ole” Is the Flirtatious Summer Anthem You Didn’t Know You Needed
Posted by VMan on May 27, 2025
Ole” marks an exciting new direction for the PharmD-turned-Afrobeats trailblazer. Produced with warm, tropical percussion, sun-drenched guitar riffs, and breezy reggaeton flair, the track finds Shaiboy fully stepping into his groove. His bilingual lyricism—effortlessly weaving Yoruba, Pidgin, Igbo, and English—gives “Ole” a rich, multicultural texture, while his charismatic vocal delivery radiates joy, confidence, and that flirtatious edge that makes summer songs unforgettable.
Shaiboy describes the track as “that sweet chaos of falling for someone who completely disarms you,” and the feeling is palpable. There’s an intoxicating mix of playfulness and passion in every verse. The word “Ole” itself, which means “thief” in Yoruba, becomes a metaphor for love’s unexpected takeover: “She didn’t just steal my heart,” Shaiboy says, “she shut down my whole system.”
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.
Albums, Electronic | Not Yurs Push Kay Wagner’s “Can’t Sleep” Into Acid Territory with Dystopian Club Rework
Posted by VMan on May 15, 2025
Not Yurs deliver a remix of Kay Wagner’s “Can’t Sleep” that reshapes the track into something leaner and more intentional. The original’s ambient layering is dialed back in favor of a tightly structured, acid-forward progression that builds pressure across its runtime without relying on obvious peaks.
The low-end holds steady throughout, sitting just above sub pressure while allowing the kick and acid sequences to stay clear. The vocals are edited minimally—processed with subtle delay, then placed in a way that adds tension without overstating their role.
There are no dramatic tempo shifts. The groove is locked early and maintained. Synth elements enter with restraint, and the filter movements are gradual. This approach mirrors Not Yurs’ broader aesthetic: controlled, dry, and optimized for rooms where sound carries more than light.
Their previous work has found support on platforms like The Lot Radio and warehouse systems across the U.S. This remix continues that pattern—it’s system-conscious, practical, and designed for working DJs.
