Hey there, fellow beat chasers! Picture this: It's a crisp October night in 2025, and the electronic scene is buzzing harder than ever. With high-energy gatherings dominating the calendar—from warehouse raves to festival afterparties—everyone's craving that perfect track to lose themselves in. But amid the hard techno takeover that's got clubs thumping at breakneck speeds, there's something downright nostalgic pulling us back. Enter InClose with "Dance For Me," a second single from his fresh EP Homecoming that's serving up old-school house grooves with a slick electro-synthpop twist. If you're into that irresistible urge to move when the bass drops just right, this one's got your name on it. Let's unpack why this French producer is the retro-futurist hero we didn't know we needed.
Born in the vibrant city of Besançon, InClose kicked off his musical journey at just six years old, tickling the ivories at the local music academy. But let's be real—piano keys can only hold you back for so long when electronic music's siren call is whispering sweet synths in your ear. He quickly pivoted to crafting beats that pulse with raw energy, and boy, does it show. His debut EP, Candy, dropped with the titular single stealing the spotlight, thanks to a killer collab with illustrator and director Milan Thevenin. This dynamic duo's magic? Thevenin's fantastical drawings spark InClose's soundscapes, turning illustrated dreams into full-blown electronic soundtracks. It's like if a comic book exploded into a four-on-the-floor banger—pure inspiration.
Fast-forward to Homecoming, and "Dance For Me" feels like the emotional core of InClose's evolving universe. As the second single, it builds on that Candy foundation but amps up the intimacy, like a welcome-home party where the lights are low and the vibes are electric. Rooted in old-school house, this track channels those classic '90s warehouse feels with its transcending groove that just... hooks you. Think deep, driving basslines that make your hips sway involuntarily, layered over rises that build tension like a slow-burn thriller. The electro edges sharpen it with futuristic zaps, while synthpop melodies weave in those catchy, euphoric hooks that linger long after the drop. InClose doesn't overcomplicate it—he surrounds himself with his machines on stage, unleashing layers of synthesizers that create this immersive electronic journey. It's got that same otherworldly pull as tracks from Rone's atmospheric builds or Ame's hypnotic flows, with nods to David August's emotive depths and Max Cooper's intricate textures. No wonder it feels like teleporting to his personal planet, where creativity runs wild and emotions hit like a euphoric wave.
What I love most about "Dance For Me" is how it taps into 2025's craving for genre fusion without losing its soul. While the charts are flooded with hard techno anthems pushing BPMs to the limit, InClose is flipping the script by resurrecting old-school house's joyful simplicity. It's a reminder that electronic music thrives on contrast—those slow-build synthpop moments cutting through the electro chaos, creating space to feel the music. And that staggering music video? Directed once again by Thevenin, it's a visual feast that mirrors the track's fantasy-to-reality vibe, pulling you deeper into InClose's world. If you're spinning playlists like Spinnin' Records' Electro House 2025 or hunting for modern indie synthpop gems, this single slots in seamlessly, bridging retro nostalgia with tomorrow's sound.
InClose isn't just dropping tracks; he's crafting experiences that beg for late-night spins and festival sets. Hailing from Besançon's creative undercurrents, he's poised for liftoff, machine in hand, ready to ferry fans through synth-strewn adventures. Whether you're a die-hard electro head or just dipping your toes into 2025's electronic renaissance, "Dance For Me" is the groove that'll have you hitting repeat. It's proof that sometimes, the best way forward is a sly wink to the past.
