Arya is back on NIGHTMODE, dialing deeper into his experimental roots with “ON ME,” a shape-shifting single that explores the emotional friction between clarity and confusion. Out July 25, the Vancouver-based producer continues his genre-pushing streak with a bassline-driven cut that blurs trap’s rhythmic menace with garage-inspired swing and abstract sound design.
“ON ME” opens in a haze of spectral calm. Eerie organ progressions and melancholic vocal phrases paint a picture of mental limbo before the track fractures into chaos. Arya weaponizes a jagged sonic toolkit: B-boy-style breaks crash against gunshot samples, warped ragga vocals, and shrieking, twisted synths that contort like a mind unraveling. The contrast is deliberate—a sonic rendering of emotional whiplash, caught between reflection and overload.
Following his recent NIGHTMODE release “Thrill of It” with artemis orion, a meditative, lo-fi ballad that earned attention from Trap City, Nightblue, and Skope Mag, Arya returns solo with renewed intensity. He’s already secured co-signs from Noisia, RL Grime, Zeds Dead, and Alison Wonderland, with his music circulating across both radio airwaves and festival stages.
Known for bending the rules of trap and 140, Arya first caught ears with his debut ‘Lost in Paranoia’ EP, spotlighting a cinematic flair and piercing, intricate rhythms. Collaborations with names like Saka, Moore Kismet, and borne have further honed his sound while standout performances with Brownies & Lemonade confirm that the energy translates powerfully in a live setting.
With “ON ME,” Arya sharpens his edge and deepens his footprint in the experimental bass space. It’s a release that encapsulates the ethos of NIGHTMODE: fearless, emotionally driven, and committed to sonic evolution. As the label continues to shape the next wave of left-field bass, Arya stands firmly at its creative core, delivering work that’s as unsettling as it is unforgettable.
“‘It’ll always feel like you’re still finding something you lost.’ That line sums up the emotional thread of ‘ON ME’—a sense of searching, of something just out of reach. I’m really proud to release this with NIGHTMODE. The label is quickly becoming one of the most respected voices in electronic music, if it isn’t already. I’m grateful to be working with them again—shoutout NIGHTMODE.”—Arya
