FR3SH TrX – In The Dark (Spotify)
“When night falls, most things happen "In the Dark" covered with mystery... Feel the adventure and the adrenaline running through your veins via this powerful Trance track. Craftfully mixed synth patterns, causing strong addiction and excitement too.”
-Nagamag.com
FR3SH TrX is back with his fourth solo single! After various successful and very catchy collabs and solo tracks, he proves courage to take corners and edges with the Progressive House track ‘In The Dark‘ and celebrates the ambivalence of feelings in the dark. This darkness offers us peace and protection, but is also the scene of our deepest fears and nightmares.
In terms of sound technology, FR3SH TrX uses multi-layered sound collages and ‘thunderstorms of sound‘. ‘In The Dark‘ is powerful and dynamic and creates a balance between excitement and peace. The track always has a hypnotic effect.

Goya – Dilli (Spotify)
“Melodic, experimental work with artistic images. Variety of field records blended with Asian vocals. A realistic picture eventually appears in front of the listener, where music plot and symbolism appear on its canvas.”
“Мелодичная, экспериментальная работа, в которой прослеживаются художественные образы. Разнообразие полевых записей, восточный вокал красиво ложится на душу и в итоге перед слушателем реалистичная картина, на полотне которой отображены музыкальный сюжет и символизм. ”
-Nagamag.com
Artist shared few words about this song:
"Everything you hear in this track has been created using the sounds recorded in Delhi, no musical instruments have been used.
Dilli is a track that came about as a part of - 'Sounds of the City', a collaborative initiative between Berklee College of Music & MAP Bangalore where one music producer was chosen from 4 metropolitan cities each to compose a track by using sounds of their city.
When I stepped out to record, I realized Delhi is not just one thing or one sound but rather a diverse collection of it. Delhi is noisy, crowded, fast, and yet, serene and peaceful at certain time and places. I wanted to showcase this aspect through my track.
I went to locations such as Chandni Chowk, Nizammuddin Railway Station, Ghats of Yamuna, Lodhi Garden, some of the oldest restaurants, Bangla Sahib, Jama Masjid and several other unique places to record the rich and diverse sounds the city had to offer." - Goya
