International electronic trio under:tones make an arresting entrance with “Dreaming (Wide Awake)”, the first single from their forthcoming debut album ‘Encounters’, out today. Arriving via freshly minted imprint Through The Void Records, the track is both a mission statement and a reverie — a lucid dream woven from analog warmth, digital precision, and the ache of memory.
Written and recorded between California, the UK, and Italy, the single captures the project’s cross-continental DNA. It’s a song that drifts seamlessly between the physical and the emotional: a propulsive rhythm rooted in club culture meets ambient textures and storytelling vocals that shimmer with longing. Vocalist Reeves delivers a weightless performance, her voice riding gently atop synths that feel like sunbeams filtered through gauze. The result is cinematic yet intimate — music designed as much for headphones at golden hour as for a sunrise set on the Adriatic coast.
There’s a quiet confidence in the trio’s approach: no maximalist drops, no gimmicks — just carefully sculpted sound and emotional clarity. That balance comes in part from the group’s makeup: Neri brings a foundation in house music history, Zarcone fuses acoustic and electronic worlds, and Reeves adds a soulful, tactile layer that grounds the track in human experience. Together, they build something more than a song — a sonic encounter that lives up to the name of their album.
As the first offering from Through The Void Records, “Dreaming (Wide Awake)” sets the tone for a label intent on bridging underground innovation with timeless songwriting. It’s an invitation — not just to dance, but to feel, to remember, and to connect. If this single is any indication, ‘Encounters’ promises to be a debut album of rare depth: a series of musical vignettes that ask not just where we are, but who we’ve become along the way.
