Rising Indonesian Indie Artist, Wandour, Captures the Essence of Summer Nights with His Dreamy, Hard-Hitting House Anthem, ‘Away’.
Amidst the rising temperature of summer, Wandour unveils his latest single, “Away,” set to hit all major streaming platforms on July 22. Known for his “almost crystalline like” riffs and captivating melodies, Wandour is an indie electronic music producer hailing from Jakarta, Indonesia.
With his latest track “Away,” Wandour aims to transport listeners into a dreamlike summer night’s journey, where fluffy white clouds mingle with the stars and moon. Discussing his use of analog equipment to produce his trademark sweet, saccharine synth sounds, Wandour shared, “I often enhance my synth with a mix of rainbow and cosmic dust, along with sand from my hometown beach,” he said, half-jokingly. This whimsical approach underscores the unique, ethereal quality of his music.
Wandour shared his thoughts on his latest release, stating, “‘Away’ is more than just a song; it’s a gateway to a tranquil realm. I aimed to craft a track that captures the warmth and freedom of summer while offering a sonic retreat from daily life. I hope it becomes a cherished companion for many during their most treasured moments this season.”
“Away” marks a distinctive highlight in Wandour’s evolving discography, masterfully combining a potent, hard hitting acidic bass line with ethereal, dreamy synths and vocals. This track captures the essence of a vibrant and eclectic summer night, making it a perfect addition to any serotonin mood driven beach music playlist, pool party, or summer night drive.
Wandour’s unique ability to fuse pop, synth-wave, electro, house, and techno stems from his extensive back and forth shuttling between London, Shanghai, and Jakarta. “I simply gather all the different inspirations from these places and blend them into something I’d love to play while relaxing on the beach,” Wandour explained from one of his studio in Shanghai.
Looking ahead, Wandour remains dedicated to advancing the frontiers of electronic music in his hometown. He is passionate about leveraging his music to unite diverse audiences, showcasing electronic music as a universal language with the power to bring people together.

Brannen captures life’s fleeting moments on “Keep Dancing With Me”
Moments can be short and to the point, and that’s the idea behind Brannen’s “Keep Dancing With Me,“ a melodic house track that’s more about feeling than function. The track is reflective and dancefloor-ready, and it’s about living in the moment and holding onto the things that make life worth living.
Brannen uses the uplifting qualities of house to create a sense of warmth and connection. The lively, uplifting instrumental firmly puts “Keep Dancing With Me“ in the melodic house category while also exploring the deeper, more emotional side of dance music. That balance has enough energy to get you moving, but the overall direction stays rooted in feeling and atmosphere.
A strong studio team is also on board, with sound engineer Brian Hurren handling recording and Jack Wiles handling mixing and mastering at Moonshift Audio. Built on emotive vocal performance, the track lends human emotion to the slick electronic soundscape. The vocals complement the song’s main message without detracting from its instrumental nature.
“Keep Dancing With Me” positions Brannen as an artist interested in the connection between dance music and real emotion. The uplifting sound, expressive vocal presence, and focus on fleeting but meaningful experiences give the release clear artistic direction. The best thing about the track is that it treats dancing as a way of staying in a moment before it’s gone.

“Keep T Moving” shows Meas & Riddie’s fresh approach to house music
Meas & Riddie release their debut, “Keep T Moving,” a fusion of youthful vigor and classic electronic character. Meas & Riddie produced the track, and these two young artists have already built a clear connection with House music while still leaving room to experiment and make music on their own terms.
“Keep T Moving” is a powerful electronic and house record that speaks to the duo’s love of fusing old-school 909 sounds with more modern synths. This distinction gives the track its main artistic direction, fusing a familiar electronic base with a modern edge. Meas & Riddie see those influences as part of the sound they are beginning to make their own.
As their first independent Spotify release, “Keep T Moving” also captures the thrill of a beginning, of two young musicians stepping into the scene without putting unnecessary limits on where their sound can go. 17-year-old Riddie and 15-year-old Meas share an uncommon sense of youthful dedication on their debut release. Their age is part of the story, but more interesting is their willingness to explore on their own terms. “Keep T Moving” definitely sets the direction, but leaves plenty of room for Meas & Riddie to build on their sound with future releases.
