TOUCH GROOV Craft a Dreamlike Collision of Mood and Motion in “FEELIN GOOD”
Oklahoma might not be the first place you’d look for a new wave of boundary-pushing electronic music, but TOUCH GROOV is here to change that. The four-member creative collective arrives with a fully formed aesthetic: lo-fi funk grit, jazz-soaked synth work, neon-lit vocals, and a shadowy indie-electronic pulse that feels both analog and alien. Their debut EP, ‘Doorway to Dystopia Vol. 1’, isn’t just a calling card, it’s a portal into a world they’ve built from scratch.
“FEELIN GOOD,” the project’s first single, captures the DNA of TOUCH GROOV in one quick, breath-snatching hit. The track moves with a kind of nervous electricity, not rushed, but sharp, like a spark skipping across a circuit. It sits right in that sweet spot between introspective late-night head-nodder and club-ready groove, blurring chill and disorientation in a way that feels unmistakably modern.
What sets TOUCH GROOV apart is their ability to turn mood into momentum. “FEELIN GOOD” doesn’t pretend everything’s fine; its energy comes from pushing through the static. The beat thumps with a warped warmth, the synths smear like fluorescent reflections on wet pavement, and the vocal line floats above it all with a cool, detached glide. It’s the sound of a future self looking back on a memory you haven’t had yet.
The group’s mix of influences, The Weeknd’s sleek darkness, Daft Punk’s retro-futurism, Deadmau5’s atmospheric precision, plus flashes of ’80s new-wave drama, show up in the texture, not imitation. TOUCH GROOV filter everything through their own prism, turning familiar elements into something strangely dreamlike and deeply human.
Even the origin story fits the ethos: the lyrics were scribbled on the back cover of a notebook, an instinctive creation moment that mirrors the project’s spontaneous, improvisational feel. This isn’t music designed in a cold digital grid, it’s lived-in, imperfect, and alive.
With “FEELIN GOOD”, TOUCH GROOV aren’t aiming to simply join the electronic landscape. They’re reshaping its edges, bending genres until they glow. And if ‘Doorway to Dystopia Vol. 1’ is any indication, this is just the opening chapter of a project ready to expand the vocabulary of indie electronic music.
