Ralk and Different Stage Debut on CONTROVERSIA with sone.-assisted Progressive House Rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “A Deeper Love”
Brazilian producer Ralk joins Alok‘s imprint CONTROVERSIA with his take on “A Deeper Love,” providing a groovy progressive house rendition of the famous song from Aretha Franklin from 1994, on which Ralk joined forces with his fellow native Different Stage. “Deeper Love” gets a strong start by opening with shakers and kick drums combined with upbeat, undulating melodies. When paired with soulful vocals, the record is a true dancefloor filler and one you’ll want to belt out all the words to. Look for this one to be gracing the speakers of your favorite clubs around the globe this festival season.
Ralk
Ralk was just twelve years old when he first discovered his love for electronic music, and at 14, he began to play small parties in his hometown in Brazil. These humble beginnings paved the way for the musician to hit the career mark of 100M streams on digital platforms at the age of 27 in 2022. His remix for Gabriel Elias‘s “Fiz Esse Som Pra Você” amassed over 27M streams on Spotify alone, not to mention the 23+ million streams of his other hit remix for Vitor Kley‘s “O Sol.” It’s Ralk‘s contagiously high energy that has earned him a legion of loyal fans across the globe, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. He joins the likes of Dynamick, HÜMAN, ÜHÜ, Kohen, Bhaskar, Yves V, Tim Baresko, and more on CONTROVERSIA‘s ever-growing roster. Keep an eye out for more from this cutting-edge imprint coming soon.
