dark0wa Finds Light in the Rave with New Album 'Paradise'

Trance, heartbreak, and euphoria collide in a genre-blurring soundtrack for the soul.

With their new album 'Paradise', genre-defying producer dark0wa flips the script on club music, transforming it into a space for both emotional reckoning and euphoric release.

Melding early 2000s trance, drum & bass, and hyperpop, the record pulses with energy—but beneath the high BPMs lies a haunting introspection that makes 'Paradise' hit harder than your typical dancefloor fare.

More than just a rave-ready collection of bangers, 'Paradise' explores the full emotional spectrum of nightlife: from the high of the drop to the lonely walk home. It’s a love letter to the club as a place where joy and heartbreak blur together in the haze of strobe lights and sweat.

Standout tracks like 'Stargirl' exude self-empowerment, while 'Squishy' wraps listeners in warmth and belonging. 'Starfall' captures that weightless sense of uncertainty, and 'Dopamine' explodes in a trance-laced frenzy. But it’s 'Ordinary' - the album’s heart - that lingers longest. A dreamy, drum & bass slow-burn, it explores the pull of toxic love and the quiet ache of returning to what hurts.

Equal parts nostalgic and futuristic, 'Paradise' is an invitation to feel it all - loud, soft, ecstatic, and raw. A soundtrack the night out - and the comedown, too.
