Every great night needs a closing tune, the one where everybody throws their hands up one last time. For Tom Feral, that tune is "Smoji". It's a high-energy, feel-good electronic track made for exactly that moment.
The Crowd Favourite
According to Tom Feral, "Smoji" has become one of the biggest favourites from his album Mango. He even picked it as the finale of his album release party in Denver, which he says was sold out. That tells you a lot about how the track works in a room: it's designed to end things on a massive high.
Builds, Melodies and Explosive Drops
Where the album's title track "Mango" is all sunny groove, "Smoji" goes bigger. It mixes electronica, future bass and progressive house, with massive builds, soaring melodies and explosive drops. The future bass influence shows in the bright, wide synths and the way the energy swells before every release.
It's a fully instrumental piece, and the melodies do the heavy lifting. Expect a track that keeps lifting you up rather than one that slowly simmers.
"Smoji" is part of the album Mango, out since October 10th, 2026 via Tomonomatopoeia.
Future Bass Is Still Going Strong
Future bass had its big boom in the mid-2010s, but it never really went away. Today, its colourful chords and dramatic builds pop up in progressive house, melodic bass and festival sets everywhere. "Smoji" shows how well those elements work when they're combined with a solid house backbone.
Why It Works
The secret of a good closer is that it releases all the tension of the night, and "Smoji" is built exactly for that. Every build feels like a deep breath and every drop like letting it all out. It's unashamedly uplifting, and in a scene that often takes itself very seriously, that's refreshing. Play it loud, preferably with a crowd around you, and see how long you can keep your hands down.
