ASPEN Talks New Song, Working with JWild, Performing with Lil Jon, and More
With his single, “Sweetest Mistake,” out now, we took some time to hear more from ASPEN. Read below to learn more about ASPEN, the story behind his latest single, and what’s to come.
Hi ASPEN! Let’s start with how did you get your artist name?
It is just my first name. I have an interesting name, so I thought that it fit well as an artist name as well.
What city are you from and where are you based now?
I am originally from Tel Aviv, Israel, but I live in Miami now.
At what point in your life did you decide to pursue a career in music? How did you get started?
I went to Ultra a few years back, and I knew that I loved electronic music, but I didn’t realize how much I really loved it. Once I went there, I just had an overwhelming urge to pursue music myself.
Has your upbringing played a role in shaping who you are and defining your sound today? If so, how?
Absolutely, my upbringing has been instrumental in shaping both who I am and my sound. Being in Miami, a melting pot of cultures and musical styles, exposed me to a variety of sounds. This diverse musical environment instilled in me a love for blending different genres and influences, which is evident in tracks like ‘Sweetest Mistake.’ The emotional depth and eclectic beats of my music are reflections of the vibrance.
How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?
My sound can best be described as an emotive journey through soundscapes that blend electronic beats with soulful melodies. It’s about capturing both the highs and lows of the human experience, packaged within compelling rhythms that invite you to both reflect and dance. With each track, like ‘Sweetest Mistake,’ I aim to create a unique auditory experience that resonates on a personal level with listeners, drawing on elements from downtempo to more upbeat electronic vibes.
Do you have any hobbies outside of music? What do you do to stay creative?
Outside of music, I enjoy exploring the vibrant art scene here in Miami, from street art to gallery exhibitions. These visual experiences often inspire the textures and layers of my music. I also stay active with lifting, which not only keeps me physically fit, but also mentally sharp and creatively fluid. Engaging with different environments and activities helps me to maintain a fresh perspective and brings new ideas into my music production.
Who are some of your main musical influences?
Martin Garrix, Gryffin, and Tiesto.
What are some of your future music career goals?
Music for me has been about following my passion. So, as I progress in my career, I want to share my passion with others. For me, I just want my crowd to be engaged, and I want to make the lives of the people that listen to my music just a little bit better.
Now onto your release, ‘Sweetest Mistake.’ What inspired this song?
I was listening to ‘High on Life’ by Martin Garrix and just came to the conclusion that I really want to make a song like that. I love the message and the euphoric feeling that the song creates, and I wanted to recreate that.
What is ‘Sweetest Mistake’ about in your own words?
‘Sweetest Mistake’ is a captivating blend of introspective lyrics and dynamic melodies. Featuring the compelling contributions of JWild, this track explores the bittersweet journey of embracing imperfections and finding beauty in unexpected turns.
How did the collaboration with JWild come about?
We have some mutual friends, and I just DMed him on Instagram because I listened to some of his stuff and really liked his voice.
What message do you hope fans take away from your music and from ‘Sweetest Mistake?’
Go find love and put yourself out there. You will get hurt in life, but all of those experiences build you up as a person and make you into who you are.
What’s one of the proudest moments of your music career so far?
I played for a crowd of almost 10,000 people in a basketball arena with Lil Jon. Everyone really enjoyed the set, and I was just so happy that I could share the stuff that I was working on with all these other people.
What would you say are the greatest lessons that you’ve learned so far?
You have to be patient. In this industry you have to pay your dues, and you have to be patient in terms of your growth. Also, in life as a whole, you have to be patient in terms of your career growth. There is no such thing as instant success.
What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects, or do you have any upcoming shows that we should be on the lookout for?
I am going to continue grinding and releasing music. I have been working really hard, and I have a ton of projects that I am waiting to roll out. I’m excited for everyone to hear them. I also have a headline show on June 15th at Hyde in the SLS in South Beach.

In the world of electronic dance music, few tracks manage to capture the energy and sheer joy of celebration quite like Ari Martin‘s latest single, A Night To Remember. With its pulsating beats, hypnotic rhythms, and masterful production, this track is more than just a song—it’s a journey into the heart of what makes an unforgettable night.
From the opening notes, A Night To Remember immerses listeners in an electrifying atmosphere. Its high-energy house vibe is a testament to Ari Martin’s ability to create music that speaks to the soul of the dance floor. The song builds with precision, layering rhythmically compelling synths and driving basslines that beckon listeners to lose themselves in the moment.
This track isn’t just about beats per minute—it’s about intention. Speaking about the inspiration behind the track, Ari Martin shares, “I wanted to create something that could be the soundtrack for celebrations—those moments when you’re surrounded by friends, dancing, and just feeling alive. This song is meant to capture that pure energy.”
What makes this release even more compelling is Ari Martin’s story. A producer who has honed his craft since a young age, Martin draws inspiration from a diverse range of musical influences, from Motown’s soulful harmonies to Earth, Wind & Fire’s infectious grooves. Reflecting on his journey, Martin explains, “I grew up in a house filled with music, and it’s always been a huge part of my life. With this track, I’m blending the energy I felt in those early days with the pulse of today’s dance music scene.”
The Visualizer: A Feast for the Senses
The newly released visualizer for A Night To Remember takes the song’s celebratory spirit to dazzling heights. Featuring a kaleidoscope of neon lights, pulsating shapes, and vibrant party-themed imagery, the visualizer is designed to draw viewers into the heart of the music.
Ari Martin collaborated with a team of graphic designers and animators to bring this vision to life. “We wanted the visualizer to feel like a living, breathing party,” Martin says. “Every beat, every drop, is matched with visuals that explode with energy and rhythm. It’s like the song and the visuals are having their own dance-off.”
One standout moment in the visualizer is its synchronized light show, which mirrors the track’s breakdowns and build-ups. The use of vibrant colors—like electric blue, fiery orange, and magenta—creates a hypnotic effect that keeps viewers captivated. “I wanted people to feel like they were at a club, even if they’re just watching on their phone,” Martin explains.
The production process wasn’t without its challenges. Martin shares, “We spent hours tweaking the visuals to make sure they aligned perfectly with the beats. It was a meticulous process, but seeing the final product, it was absolutely worth it.”
Final Verdict:
With A Night To Remember, Ari Martin has delivered a high-octane, joy-infused anthem that resonates both musically and visually. The track’s infectious energy and heartfelt intention, paired with the mesmerizing visualizer, ensure that no one will be standing still.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, this track and its visualizer stand poised to be the centerpiece of countless unforgettable celebrations.
