Mareux is a decade long electronic music project from LA based musician and producer Aryan Ashtiani. Releases like “Cold Summer” and “the Perfect Girl” sparked a cult following, particularly in Eastern Europe and South America. In describing Mareux's sound, reviewer Fabrizio Lusso puts it best: “Mareux‘s moody and strongly emotional electronic laden lo-fi approach straddles the line between synth-pop, coldwave and post-punk in a stunning and infectious blend of thick glacial beats, lustrous synth stabs, sparse droning elements, vigorous bleak bass pulsations and a superb passionate voice, flavored by a mournful shadowy-goth feel, a seductive 80s flair, and sometimes subtle groovy r&b inflection.”
With a few cult hits under his belt, Mareux is now gearing up to drop the ‘Predestiny’ EP due in Spring 2020, via the newly minted LA based label, I HEARD IT IN PARIS. Following the first single, "Spectral Tease"- a brooding number, fit for peak hours at dance clubs or driving around the city at midnight alone, alike, comes “Gopnik”. Perhaps the darkest track on the EP, the song is an anthem on self-destruction and marginalization by the state. The term “gopnik” is a pejorative used to describe a subsection of youths in Eastern Europe, specifically countries like Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, who are often jobless and dissatisfied with their lives. This type of destitution leads them to criminal pursuits and drug abuse. “In the production I wanted to capture that feeling of disorder and translate it into a dance track,” says Ashtiani.
Tracklist: 1. Spectral Tease (5:05)
2. Gopnik (4:39)
3. Roses (4:35)
4. Summertime (3:37)
5. Choke (3:39)
