The relatable dance pop track expands with charm and vivid, situational prose as we are taken on a euphoric journey. The chord changes are perfectly designed to evoke maximum emotion, with textured drum fills, psychedelic nuances and high synths. The melodic depth of the track is tangible, and we appreciate the consistency of the dynamic nature of the composition, something that we have come to expect from Astralix.

We love the meditative middle eight and soaring vocals, before a refined rebuild and an anthemic finale. The creators confess to being inspired by EDM legends such as Avicii, David Guetta, Marshmello, and Swedish House Mafia, which certainly comes though with Crazy World, although there is no doubt that Gary Dranow, Chris Zoupa and Louie Dupont are manifesting a sound of their own.

The opus oozes sonic innovation, from the first note to the final immersive synth for closure. Speaking on the release, the creators tell us, “Music is not just an art form for us; it’s a journey through life’s highs and lows. Crazy World is our latest EDM offering. This song was crafted with the hope of resonating with everyone who finds interest in music and the stories and emotions it conveys.”

Crazy World is taken from Astralix‘s album, The Rhythm Fills My Soul. The collective of artists produce songs that tap into a plethora of themes including “love, heartbreak, dance, clubbing, and DJs’ repertoires.” Their musical offering is designed to reflect on their personal experiences, and individual and collective journeys.

We have added Crazy World to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Astralix‘s growing discography, including Lost and Found, Velocity, and Still Raining, as well as the title track of their album, The Rhythm Fills My Soul!

Astralix, the creative love child of Gary Dranow, Chris Zoupa and Louis Dupont, has been off to a great start as an emerging project. The intentional frequency that the pair exude with their releases to date, has been tangible, so when we heard that they were back with Velocity, we were curious and couldn’t wait to share our experience.

Establishing the mood with a warbling bassline, a luscious synth melody and ethereal vocals, Astralix open Velocity with the signature level of dynamism that we have come to expect from the creators.

The flow of the lyrics holds a sense of familiarity and we appreciate the poetic prowess and expansive depth that they convey. The overarching feeling is cosmic, liberated, prophetic and sensual.

The presence of Gary on guitar is somewhat exotic and taps into an incredible ancient energy, before we experience a highly universal and connected middle eight. There is no doubt that the song is perfect for a cosmic Hollywood blockbuster, like Dune or a remake of The 5th Element, and is designed to allow us to connect with source.

Astralix cite inspirations from musical legends like Avicii, Tiesto, and David Guetta, but the refined energy that Astralix delivers puts them in a league of their own.

We have added Velocity to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream Astralix‘s wider discography, and anticipate the remainder of the album!

The moment that we have been waiting for has arrived. The first taste of Gary Dranow and Chris Zoupa‘s collaborative EDM project, Astralix is here, and we are ready to engage with their debut single and title track of their album, The Rhythm Fills My Soul.

Setting the tone with expansive, astral synth notes, The Rhythm Fills My Soul, which is produced with Louis Dupont, opens with an atmospheric pop vocal and inspiring situational prose. We are transported to a euphoric reality with dimensionality and intentional depth with the lyrics, “I’m going downtown, tonight’s the night for fun, no time for feelin’ down, the party’s just begun, lights flashing all around, bass pumping through the ground, this night, we own the town…”

Speaking on the message of the glistening opus, Astralix confess, “The Rhythm Fills My Soul is a celebration of youth, fun, carefree lifestyle, and of course dance.”

This absolutely comes through in the progressive nature of the mix, and it feels optimistic, designed to invite us to be at one with the universe and share gratitude for our reality.

The creators cite Tiesto, Marshmello, Swedish House Mafia, and Avicii as a few sonic influences, which we can get behind, although there is no doubt that the futuristic nature of the sound and the resplendent architecture of the shimmering composition are unique to Astralix‘s own creative effort.

We are enamoured by the key changes and ebbs and flows of the track, as well as the timbre of the mystery vocalist! Naturally, we have added The Rhythm Fills My Soul to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our brand new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from Astralix.
