Argentinian DJ Chris Bello’s new single “Drowning” is a track made for late-night dance floors and sunrise sessions alike, connecting both mind and body.
It is a deep, emotive Afrohouse track that blends hypnotic rhythms with melodic textures designed to pull listeners into a state of pure immersion.
Inspired by the push and pull between surrender and control, Drowning takes the listener on a journey through atmospheric pads, driving percussion, and a bassline that feels like the ocean’s current—steady, powerful, and inescapable.
Blending ambient textures, poetic lyrics, and earthy rhythms, “Heart of the Wild” by Spanish artist CyberMCA paints a vivid portrait of spiritual stillness in motion.
Inspired by mountain landscapes, ancient energies, and the quiet wisdom of the natural world, the track weaves together Afro-influenced percussion, serene melodies, and reflective vocals into a deeply moving experience.
“I wanted to create something that feels like a breath of fresh air,” says CyberMCA. “This song is about reconnecting with nature, with each other, and with the calm inside ourselves. It’s a reminder that peace is still possible — even in a noisy world.”
“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.
