The electronic music powerhouse reveals the fourth single from his debut album, joined by LA singer/songwriter Gabriel Eli on a cinematic melodic bass ballad about how time comes to a standstill around that special someone.
Melodic bass mainstay yetep continues the rollout toward his debut album with “Slow Motion,” a poignant new single out October 10th via Lost In Dreams Records. Teaming with vocalist Gabriel Eli, the Korean American producer delivers a cinematic cut that balances delicate intimacy with widescreen emotional impact.
Built on ticking clocks and heartbeat-like pulses, “Slow Motion” opens in hushed tones before swelling into a layered soundscape. Eli’s vocal shifts seamlessly from gravelly low-end croons to soaring belts, embodying both vulnerability and power. Orchestral textures and fluttering arpeggios intertwine with snapping trap percussion, rising toward euphoric drops that channel the grandeur of future bass while retaining melodic nuance.
Painting a picture of how the single slipped its way onto the album, yetep shares: “I wanted to write something that would really connect with the bass music audience. I originally wrote this as a non-single track for the album, but after sitting on it for so long, I had almost forgotten about it. That changed when I worked with Gabriel—he brought the song to life. His vocals gave it a completely different feel, and I tried to balance the emotional side with the technical side of my production. In the end, everything came together and blended really well.”
Diving deeper into the meaning behind their collaboration, Gabriel Eli says, “With ‘Slow Motion,’ I wanted to capture the feeling of being in love and feeling like, when you’re together, the world slows down and it’s just you and this person—even if you’re in a crowded room. The feeling that, even when the world and future is uncertain, you feel at peace when you’re together.”
“Slow Motion” marks the fourth single from yetep’s forthcoming debut album, due in early 2026. Previous releases “Champagne,” “Hate It When It’s You,” and “Take Me Down” have earned radio play from EDM Sessions, Radio FG, and C89.5, along with DJ support from Adventure Club, if found, and Nathassia. With a current run of shows including sets at S20 Los Angeles, Tahoe Live, and a support slot for San Holo at Emo’s Austin, yetep continues to cement his reputation as both a studio craftsman and a commanding live performer.
Los Angeles–based vocalist Gabriel Eli grounds the collaboration with a stirring performance that cuts to the track’s emotional center. Moving fluidly between rock, R&B, and electronic music, Eli has become a sought-after presence in crossover spaces, lending his voice to tracks like ARMNHMR and LOCKBOX’s “Free” and SadBois’ “Happier Now.” Alongside his own independent releases that have amassed millions of streams, his work continues to bridge genres with both intimacy and power.
As yetep moves closer to unveiling his debut album, “Slow Motion” captures the cinematic sweep and emotional precision that define his sound, hinting at a body of work built for both the dancefloor and deeper reflection. For Lost In Dreams, the release underscores the label’s continued leadership in shaping the melodic bass landscape while highlighting yetep’s evolution into one of its most distinctive voices.
