“Selenophile”: A Sonic Metamorphosis by Etoile Marley
In ‘Selenophile’, Etoile Marley channels the transformative power of the full moon, using the story of a woman who becomes a werewolf as a metaphor for empowerment. The song speaks to embracing one’s darker side and turning it into a source of strength. Known for her evocative, cinematic sound, Marley weaves dreamy synths with husky harmonies and circus-inspired xylophones and organs, a nod to her former career as a circus performer.
Marley’s journey into music was shaped by her diverse background as a performer, actress, and dancer, roles that have deeply influenced her artistic sensibilities. Her music is difficult to pin down to a single genre, often described instead as a mood—sensual, groovy, and cinematic. She records and produces her work in her home studio just outside London, blending her passion for storytelling, obscure words, and emotional depth into her songwriting.
LOUVE, the she-wolf concept album’s B-side, is where ‘Selenophile’ finds its home, exploring the themes of personal transformation and self-acceptance. Marley, now a mother, continues to produce her music solo, navigating both personal and creative challenges with a fierce sense of independence. With an album centered on obscure language slated for 2025, ‘Selenophile’ offers a taste of her evolving artistry, inviting listeners to embrace their own inner wildness.
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.
