Sharing my music video I directed for the track Disconnect Yourself A behind-the-scenes moment captured 5 years ago with @secr3tkey and so many talented artists! I wanted to explore the connection between movement and sound — working with professionals dancers who could hold strong yoga poses and then fully let go… creating that space between mind and body through shadows and light 🧘🏻‍♀️ Everything was created in the moment. Pure presence, pure flow. Grateful to everyone who was part of this 🙏🏼 #DisconnectYourself #EllaDarr #MusicVideo #ArtMovement #NewMusic

LAPARWA - Not following the script. Not doing life on time. Just energy moving through the right rooms. SECR3T KEY remix is out now on @beats_on_time ✨

BOT037 is out today ! Shehaq and NAAYAAB’s LaParwa gets the remix treatment from SECR3T KEY and the duo of Wild Dark + Ariaano and we present two very hot remixes 🔥 In the words of original lyricist Naayaab 👑, “I don’t do life on time. Or love. Or stability. I don’t want a shiny routine, fixed answers, or someone else’s version of success that looks good from the outside , what a “30 something life” should be. I’m an artist. I’ve failed. I’m rebuilding. I’m excited. I’m broke. Not married. I am chaotic. Not normal. Socially awkward, loud, and unapologetic… free. Free. And free. But are you though? Judging me for what? I guess somehow not choosing the “right age, right time” makes me irresponsible, because I don’t fit your version of how my life could be? Seriously, yuck. No. I’m good, thanks. I’d rather keep failing than to fit into little miss perfect something. “ SECR3T KEY is a New York-based Producer and DJ known for his distinctive sound bordering between indie dance, house and techno. He makes his second appearance on the label, following last years’ Subway Hustle EP. Wild Dark is Corey Negrin, NYC-based DJ and producer ( Formerly the Negrin brothers, now Corey solo) who has spent over two decades weaving tales on the dancefloor. With a knack for turning electronic music into a narrative experience, Wild Dark has made a name by blending a vast array of sounds into something fresh and memorable. Wild dark frequently teams up with Ariaan Olieroock under the Ariaano or 16BL moniker, making waves on labels like , Flying Circus and IAMHER Records with releases such as their standout remix of Husa & Zeyada’s “Inside Out”, and original hit “Always” on Anjunadeep. Ariaan formerly was one of the founding members of Cubicolor. Their productions are engineered for the dance floor—hypnotic grooves, tight drum programming, the kind of stuff that makes standing still impossible. This formula has powered them through renowned events like Brooklyn Mirage’s Cityfox, Teksupport, Mysteryland, Set Underground, SAGA, The Gardens of Babylon, Do Not Sit on the Furniture, Art With Me Festival, and the stunning SXM Festival in St. Martin.
