Elijah Cruise Turns Love into a Thrill Ride on “Dark Romance”
What happens when love isn’t all flowers and sunshine but shadows, fire, and devotion so intense it borders on dangerous? That’s the world Elijah Cruise invites us into on his brand-new single, “Dark Romance” (out now).
From the very first note, it feels like you’re stepping into a movie scene. The track swells with cinematic drama (part rock, part electronic dreamscape, part indie grit) while Elijah’s unmistakable vocals cut through like a spotlight in the dark. It’s bold, it’s beautiful, and honestly, it’s addictive.
In “Dark Romance”, Elijah Cruise leans all the way into the idea of standing by someone through their highs, lows, and even their shadows. It’s romantic, it’s haunting, and it’ll hit you right in the chest.
If you’re just meeting Elijah, here’s the short version:
- He grew up in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, homeschooled and hustling, with music as his escape.
- He taught himself to write and produce in his basement (DIY legend energy).
- He’s since racked up millions of streams, gone viral on TikTok, and landed songs on BBC Radio 1 and the iTunes Alternative Rock charts.
Not bad for a kid who just wanted a way out.
His breakout moment came with the brooding banger “Poem of a Killer” (with WE ARE FURY), and since then, he’s been crafting his own universe; one full of late-night nostalgia, cinematic vibes, and songs that feel like secrets you’re not supposed to know.

International touring musician and multi-instrumentalist Nadav Tabak returns to the UK with his immersive solo project and the release of his new single, ‘Electric Roots’, a powerful instrumental journey blending driving electronic trance with raw, organic instrumentation.
Following years of international touring, Tabak has carved out a distinct sonic identity: a live performance that merges hypnotic beats, tribal textures, and virtuosic guitar work into a dance-floor ritual experience.
Electric Roots represents the core of his sound both literally and metaphorically. The track explores the fusion between the electric world of trance and the rooted, earthy essence of acoustic instruments. Pulsing basslines and driving techno rhythms intertwine with organic timbres, live looping, and expressive instrumentation, creating something that feels both ancient and futuristic.
Unlike traditional DJ sets, Tabak performs entirely live, building layers in real time through looping, percussion, and melodic improvisation. The result is an instrumental experience that is rhythm-driven, immersive, and uniquely his own.
The upcoming UK tour will showcase this evolving sound in intimate venues and festival settings, offering audiences a high-energy, genre-blending performance that moves seamlessly between dancefloor intensity and organic atmosphere.
With Electric Roots, Nadav Tabak continues to push the boundaries between electronic music and live instrumental performance grounding trance in something human, physical, and deeply rooted.
