RIMIDI Presents: The Dopamine Collection Vol. 1 — A Sonic Journey Premieres July 29
“What if music could stimulate the very chemicals that shape our joy, memories, and deepest emotions? That’s exactly what singer, songwriter, and sonic alchemist RIMIDI explores in her soul-expanding project, The Dopamine Collection Vol. 1.“
The wait is finally over. On Tuesday, July 29 at 9PM EST, the full immersive playlist experience of The Dopamine Collection Vol. 1 premieres exclusively on RIMIDI’s official YouTube channel:
The Sound of a Mood, a Moment, a Mindset
Originally released independently under NOOM Recordings, The Dopamine Collection Vol. 1 is a deeply personal body of work that blends experimental soul, psychedelic textures, and poetic vulnerability. Each track pulses with intention—designed to mirror the neurological high of dopamine itself.
Listeners are invited to not only hear the music, but to feel the shift — mentally, emotionally, even spiritually. From the lush melancholy of “Pretend”, to the astral groove of “Saturn’s Day”, and the fearless freedom of “Walk Away (feat. Forrest Darden)”, this collection isn’t just an album—
It’s a sonic therapy session disguised as a soul record.

Elijah Cruise’s EP ‘Dark Romance’ Turns Late-Night Longing Into Cinematic Alt-Pop
If there’s one thing Elijah Cruise understands, it’s how to turn feelings into a vibe—and Dark Romance is exactly that: a late-night, headphones-on, main-character kind of record that pulls you in without overthinking it.
This debut EP doesn’t try to reinvent anything. Instead, it leans into mood, atmosphere, and that slightly chaotic kind of romance that feels a little too intense but also kind of addictive. It’s the soundtrack to night drives, blurry city lights, and emotions you’re not totally ready to unpack.
“Learn To Float” stands out as the heart of the project. It’s dreamy, hypnotic, and quietly emotional, built around the idea of letting go when everything feels overwhelming. There’s something effortlessly relatable in its softness, it doesn’t try too hard, and that’s exactly why it works.
Beyond that, Dark Romance flows as a whole rather than a collection of standout singles. The songs blend into each other, creating a consistent, cinematic atmosphere that feels immersive and easy to get lost in. Nothing feels out of place, it’s all part of the same late-night world.
You can definitely hear touches of Lana Del Rey, Arctic Monkeys, and The Neighbourhood in the DNA, but it never feels forced. It’s more like a familiar mood, reimagined in a way that feels fresh and personal.
What makes this EP land is how easy it is to connect with. Whether you’re overthinking, daydreaming, or just vibing, Dark Romance meets you there.
It’s simple, emotional, and effortlessly cool and sometimes, that’s exactly what you want.
