Indigo Valet’s latest EP “Beautiful & Strange” feels like a deep exhale
Indigo Valet’s latest EP Beautiful & Strange feels like a deep exhale—a reminder that electronic music doesn’t always need to hit hard to hit home. Blending house, UKG, bass, and indie dance influences, the producer/DJ crafts a sound that’s as emotionally resonant as it is rhythmically engaging.
The project opens with ‘Such a Rush’, a standout that immediately pulls you into Valet’s world. Anchored by UKG and breaks-inspired rhythms, the track balances shimmering synth textures with a thick, grounding bassline. But what really lands is the intention behind it: a meditation on slowing down. The repeated sentiment—“Why we gotta be in such a rush?”—feels especially poignant, cutting through the haze of everyday chaos.
Across the EP, Valet’s hip-hop roots subtly inform the groove and pacing. ‘For You’ glides with a softer touch, layering melodic elements over a steady pulse, while ‘Better Alone’ explores more introspective territory, pairing moody tones with a groove that keeps things moving without overpowering the emotion.
What stands out most is the cohesion of the project. At just over 16 minutes, Beautiful & Strange never overstays its welcome, but still manages to feel complete. Each track flows naturally into the next, creating a continuous listening experience that mirrors the ebb and flow of a late-night drive or a sunrise set.
Closing track ‘Need You’ with Path2 adds a final layer of depth, emphasizing connection and vulnerability. It’s a fitting end to a project that’s rooted in community, self-reflection, and presence. Indigo Valet isn’t just making tracks for the dancefloor—he’s creating space for listeners to feel, reset, and reconnect.

It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.
The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.
What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.
The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.
Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.
“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
