Hey melodic house and melodic techno lovers – if you’ve been craving that perfect late-night drive track that hits you right in the chest without ever screaming for attention, stop scrolling. PAAX (Tulum-based duo) just dropped their Songspire Records debut “Hurricane” featuring the incredible Monique, and it’s exactly the kind of warm, reflective gem the scene needs right now.
Picture this: gentle, rolling piano chords that feel like sunlight breaking through storm clouds, a bassline that breathes instead of punches, and Monique’s vocal gliding overhead – intimate, emotive, never overdone. This isn’t peak-time festival ammo; it’s the soundtrack to 4 a.m. conversations on the terrace when everyone’s finally being honest. The arrangement builds so patiently you almost don’t notice you’re fully locked in until the drop hits and you realize you’ve been holding your breath.
PAAX have been quietly killing it lately – fresh off releases on Sounguara and launching their own imprint Pitch Surfing Records, where they’ve been exploring groove and texture with zero rush. “Hurricane” feels like the natural next step: melodic house and melodic techno that prioritizes mood and evolution over instant gratification. It’s mature, confident production that trusts the listener to come along for the ride.
And because one version is never enough, the package comes with two killer remixes. Pakkio Sans takes it into slightly darker, electro-leaning territory – tighter low-end, a bit more bite, perfect for when the night picks up pace. Sokur flips the script completely, injecting swing and percussion that make it irresistibly groovy while somehow staying understated. Three moods, one beautiful original at the heart.
If you’ve been deep into the melodic house wave lately – think labels like Anjunadeep, All Day I Dream, or the deeper side of Songspire itself – “Hurricane” slides right into that sweet spot. It’s the kind of release that reminds us why we fell in love with this sound in the first place: emotion, space, and melodies that linger long after the last note fades.
Stream “Hurricane” everywhere now and let it wash over you. Trust me, you’ll have it on repeat.
