Utah-based artist Gary Dranow, alongside his writing partner Chris Zoupa and Melbourne-based producer Louis Dupont, has embarked on a thrilling new musical adventure named Astralix. Known for his bluesy rock endeavours with Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions, Gary now ventures into the electronic music scene with Astralix, drawing inspiration from artists like Tiesto, Marshmello, Swedish House Mafia and Avicii.
The genesis of Astralix began when Gary connected with Chris Zoupa around five years ago, initially seeking assistance for transcribing his Destiny Road record. This collaboration evolved into a prolific songwriting partnership, yielding a repertoire of nearly thirty songs contributing to their upcoming album, Never Give Up and the newly unveiled EDM project, Astralix.
Following the debut single, “The Rhythm Fills My Soul,” Astralix marks its return with the sophomore release, “Lost and Found.” This dance-focused electronic pop anthem continues the departure from Gary’s rock roots and Chris’s progressive guitar-driven background.
Opened by silky smooth female vocal leads, floating over warm synth tones and atmospheric textures, the gentle punch of kick adds rhythm before giving way for airy synth flutters. Bringing everything back together, Astralix serves up an instantly catchy, upbeat dance pop anthem brimming with delicate melodies, elegant vocals and slick sound design.
The song takes the listener on a journey of love, its complexities, challenges and ultimate triumph. What distinguishes this track is its ability to narrate a story not only through lyrics but also through rhythm and beats. With a smooth tempo of 125 beats per minute, “Lost and Found” strikes a perfect balance between high energy and grooving danceability.
Central to the song’s charm is the enchanting voice of Malena, Astralix’s remarkable singer. Her vocals bring to life the songs in dazzling fashion, ensuring the delightful songwriting shines with beauty and an instantly memorable sound. Going from strength to strength with their second outing, with “Lost and Found,” the Astralix project delivers another slice of their stellar electronic pop offering.
