Okay, real talk – if you’ve been craving that perfect late-night drive track where the bass feels like it’s hugging your soul, stop scrolling. Night Tales just dropped "Your Eyes" with Sistek and Shallou under the GOTTA MOVE banner, and it’s pure Tribal / Afro House meets Melodic House magic. This one hits different the second those warm, rolling percussion loops creep in.
You already know Night Tales as the Australian-UK duo (Kamaliza and Third Floor) who somehow bottle human emotion and turn it into dancefloor serotonin. These two have been quietly building one of the most consistent catalogs in electronic music since 2017 – we’re talking 3.5 million Spotify streams, Martin Garrix playlist adds, Tiësto spins, BBC Radio love, two #1s on Hype Machine, and a debut EP Haunt that still lives rent-free in my rotation. Their whole thing? Taking everyday feelings – love, longing, late-night conversations – and wrapping them in chords that make you want to close your eyes and sway.
Now throw Sistek and Shallou into the mix? Absolute chef’s kiss. Shallou’s signature dreamy, nature-infused melodic house layers blend perfectly with Night Tales’ introspective songwriting, while Sistek brings that polished, club-ready energy. The result is "Your Eyes" – a track that starts with tribal drums and Afro-house grooves that feel like they were recorded at sunset on some secret beach, then blooms into this lush, emotive drop that’s equal parts serene and euphoric.
From the first beat, you’re pulled into this hypnotic rhythm section – those shakers and congas are addictive – and then the chords wash over everything like warm golden hour light. It’s the kind of song that works at 2 PM when you need a vibe reset or 2 AM when you’re deep in your feelings on the dancefloor. There’s this beautiful restraint in the arrangement too; nothing feels overdone. Every element has space to breathe, which is classic Night Tales – they’ve always understood that sometimes the most powerful moments in electronic music are the quiet ones right before everything lifts.
This collab feels like a natural evolution for all three acts. Night Tales have been teasing more club-focused energy lately, and pairing that with Shallou’s atmospheric touch and Sistek’s knack for pristine production? It’s giving mainstage sunset set in Tulum but make it emotional.
If you’re into that wave of organic-meets-electronic sounds – think Lane 8, Ben Böhmer, Rufus Du Sol vibes but with a deeper Afro-house pulse – "Your Eyes" is going to be on repeat for the rest of 2025, mark my words.
