    Music of Synergia, the Austrian boundary-pushing electronic project known for its deep emotional textures and cinematic soundscapes, returns with a new single: “Weight of Dawn” featuring the vocals of Lyz. 

    Blending elements of ambient and Synthpop, “Weight of Dawn” is both intimate and vast — a track that explores the emotional gravity of transition, loss, and renewal. 

    “The track is about carrying what can’t be said — that silent pressure before things shift ,” says Valerian Steel, the creative force behind Music of Synergia. “Lyz’s voice gave that feeling shape.”

    Motsek and Lalla Martin Collaborate on Afro House EP “Echoes of Us”

    Guadeloupean Producer Motsek have collaborated on an Afro House EP “Echoes of Us” which also features Julien Mercies

    Rooted in Afrohouse, this four-track project weaves an emotional story where electronic textures meet ancestral echoes.

    “It begins with Siyakuphi, a haunting question in Lalla’s native tongue: Where are we going? A raw reflection on a youth lost to addiction and silence — the echo of a world adrift, searching for direction, meaning, and a way back home.”

    Then comes The Other Side, a luminous love song in English — a moment of warmth and intimacy where two souls mirror one another beyond time and borders. The trumpet of Julien Mercier runs parallel to the melody, like a distant signal, never overpowering, always present.

    The EP closes with Lost in Harare, a powerful instrumental led by a striking dialogue between Motsek’s production and Mercier’s trumpet. Here, the brass takes center stage, soaring and searching, carrying the emotional weight of memory, longing, and release.
