ELFI IS BACK AND SHE’S SERVING HEARTBREAK WITH A SIDE OF HELL YES

Okay, picture this: you walk into a restaurant you swore you were done with, your ex’s ghost does a dramatic entrance in your mind, and suddenly you realise…
“Wait. I literally dodged a missile.”

That’s the exact lightning-bolt moment behind Elfi’s brand-new single “be careful what you wish for”. And instead of crying about it, she turned it into a sparkly, shout-it-from-the-rooftops banger you can dance yourself clean to.

This song is for:
✨ Anyone who once begged the universe for someone who turned out… not great
✨ Anyone whose rose-coloured glasses finally shattered (thank GOD)
✨ Anyone ready to dance their way out of a questionable decisions era

Born in the Netherlands, living in London, and thriving everywhere in between, Elfi takes that “oops-I-wanted-the-wrong-person” feeling and transforms it into full-blown pop catharsis. The track comes straight from her upcoming EP 11.11 — a project crafted between Los Angeles, London, and Amsterdam and sprinkled with magic at London’s iconic Metropolis Studios.

She finished this song in LA with her ride-or-die producer John McLucas, who helped turn the moment of clarity into a technicolour, hands-in-the-air “thank you universe for the plot twist” anthem.

And if you’ve ever been to an Elfi show, you know she doesn’t just perform — she converts entire rooms into glittering ecosystems of shared feelings, loud singing, and chaotic joy. From sold-out London shows to Amsterdam highs, she brings that same energy straight into this track.

“be careful what you wish for” isn’t just a breakup song.
It’s your new favourite victory lap.
It’s closure with confetti.
It’s moving on… but make it gorgeous.

Moon Rocket Finds the Space Between Soul and Dancefloor on ‘Just Us Alone’

Published

on

Italian producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Moon Rocket returns with ‘Just Us Alone’, a hypnotic Afro House journey built around connection, intimacy and the energy of the dancefloor.

There’s a distinct musicality running through everything Moon Rocket creates. The alias of Italian producer and multi-instrumentalist Raffaele Scoccia, Moon Rocket brings his background as a classically trained pianist and Hammond organ player into a sound that seamlessly connects melody, emotion and electronic groove.

His latest single, ‘Just Us Alone’, released via Moon Rocket Music, is a perfect example.

Driven by a warm, steady Afro House rhythm, the track unfolds around a subtle piano melody and soulful vocals, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate yet effortlessly danceable. Hypnotic rather than overproduced, ‘Just Us Alone’ finds its strength in the space between emotion and movement.

Just Us Alone is a track about connection and intimacy”, says Moon Rocket. “I wanted to create something that felt emotional and hypnotic while still having the energy to work on the dance floor.

That balance has become a defining characteristic of Moon Rocket’s work. His musical journey began at the age of 15, when he received his first piano, eventually leading him to study classical music, harmony and composition. Today, those foundations inform a distinctive Afro Melodic-Tech style that combines organic musicianship with contemporary club production.

Moon Rocket has built an international following through releases on labels including Defected, Nervous, Sony Italy, BBE, Hed Kandi and Soulfuric, while his music has been embraced by artists across the global electronic scene. His breakthrough track ‘Reciprocity’ surpassed 21 million plays and 250,000 Shazams, establishing him as one of the distinctive voices emerging from the Afro House movement.

On ‘Just Us Alone’, Moon Rocket takes a more intimate approach, allowing the groove, melody and vocal to work together naturally. Mastered by Sam Wills at Wired Masters, London, the track carries the warmth and clarity to work equally well through a club system, a sunset set or a late-night headphone session.
