ODXC And Lumarie Drop Captivating New Single “Late Night”
UK producer ODXC has dropped his latest single, “Late Night”, alongside Lumarie. The single is the latest to be lifted from his recently released EP, In the Dungeon: Chapter Two. The six-track project spans various genres from drill and hip-hop to grime and R&B and sees the talented producer collaborate with a host of rising artists and vocalists from around the UK. Previous single “R T R Freestyle” with Ben DSP received a great response earlier this year, and “Late Night” will surely be another success for the rising producer from Tottenham, north London.
Whereas “R T R Freestyle” was an outright grime banger, “Late Night” is a mellow R&B groove, a testament to ODXC’s versatility as a producer. Over a smooth, hypnotic beat, Lumarie adds her silky vocals and gorgeous melodies as she sings about the end of a difficult breakup. The production and vocals work in perfect synergy, and it’s clear ODXC and Lumarie are onto something special with this track. It’s elevated further by accompanying visuals (directed by ODXC) that complement and capture the mood of the song brilliantly.
Speaking further on the release, ODXC says: “During lockdown, I held a rap/singing competition called Chef Up Challenge – this is how I met Lumarie. Her competition entry was such a vibe that we wanted to develop it into a full song and feature it on the EP.” Lumarie added: “‘Late Night’ was inspired by a difficult breakup and the mixed emotions that you go through when someone you’ve been trying to end things with finally stops calling. I felt like it was important for me to write a breakup song that was fun and empowering and reflected the fact that heartbreak is not always bad – sometimes it’s needed. Writing this helped me to get through my situation, and I hope it can do the same for people listening.” “Late Night” and the rest of In the Dungeon: Chapter Two are available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/IntheDungeonChapterTwo.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
