There’s something full-circle about Avoure’s newest release, Essence EP. Released back on March 27th on Biome Recordings, this three-track collection of records builds on everything that Avoure has been working on for the better part of the last decade and reintroduces him through a new lens with a fresh fire lit underneath him.
“While working on Essence EP, I felt completely at home — every sound, every melody came together naturally as I was writing,” he shared. That feeling shows up right away in Chasing Sunsets, a track that blends deep house with a wash of guitar riffs and evolving synths.
It’s already a hit among DJs like Miss Melera and Peter Makto, another favorite of Magnetic, and it sets the momentum hard for on the horizon for Avoure and his freshly minted record label.
The EP’s namesake, Essence, is a dancefloor-focused indie dance tune packed with soaring effects and a vocal that breaks the fourth wall. DJs like Stephen Donald and Mariano Mellino gave early praise to the record, its high energy, and clever vocal play, drawing comparisons to the golden era of 80s synth-pop, and I got to agree with them wholeheartedly.
And then there’s Space People, Avoure’s personal favorite of the release and my personal favorite too.
Slower, spacier, and maybe a bit surprising. Avoure calls it his favorite from the release: “It’s actually the slowest track I’ve ever made.” Layered with analog sounds from classic synths like the SH-101 and Prophet 10, the song opens a new chapter in his sound—one that leans into electronica and indie-psychedelic textures.
More than anything, this EP feels like a reset. “This release gave me a real spark — a sense of clarity and motivation around where I want to take my music next.” Whether you’re into dreamy club tracks or synth-heavy slow burners, there’s something here worth sitting with.
