“HYPNOTIC” by Ari Martin Is a Chillwave Gem That Lives Up to Its Name— A Stylish Synth-Funk Vibe You Won’t Forget
Okay—where has Ari Martin been all my life?
I stumbled across his new track “HYPNOTIC” while deep-diving into new indie electronic releases, and I legit had to stop what I was doing and just listen. Not scroll. Not skip. Just…vibe.
“HYPNOTIC” is exactly that—an instrumental groove that lives up to its name. It opens like a slow-motion sunrise over some retro-futuristic cityscape, with glassy synths and subtle funk chords pulling you in before you even realize it. There’s this undeniable throwback flavor—something in the DNA of the track that feels inspired by the cool polish of ‘80s electro-funk—but with a modern edge that makes it feel right at home on today’s EDM playlists.
And that bassline? It doesn’t just slap—it glides. Smooth but confident. Funky but never over-the-top. The whole production is clean, deliberate, and honestly kind of addictive. It’s like Ari Martin reached into some neon-drenched corner of his mind and pulled out this glittering groove that’s impossible to ignore.
You can tell Ari’s not just pressing buttons—he’s composing. There’s musicality here, cinematic layering, and a clear respect for the genre. It’s no surprise he’s backed by Powerblast Worldwide; this is the kind of song that DJs love, producers respect, and casual listeners will catch themselves humming after just one spin.
If you’re into artists like FKJ, Kaytranada, or even the more soulful side of ODESZA, Ari Martin might just be your next favorite follow.
Bottom Line:
“HYPNOTIC” is a smooth, stylish, and subtly brilliant debut for new listeners of Ari Martin. It’s the kind of track that sneaks into your playlist—and before you know it, you’re checking out everything else he’s released. Consider me officially tuned in.
RECOMMENDED for:
* Late-night drives
* Curated electronic playlists
* Lo-fi chill beats with a soul
* Dancing alone with your thoughts
