Renge makes a mesmerizing debut on Elliptical Sun Melodies with the two-track EP ‘Sleepwalker / The Place Where I Always Dream’, a lush exploration of progressive house that blends intricate rhythms with ethereal melodies. Each track unfolds like a dreamscape, showcasing Renge’s talent for weaving emotion into every synth layer and percussive groove.

‘Sleepwalker’ drifts into focus with a hypnotic bassline and shimmering arpeggios, building into a crescendo of melancholic harmonies. Delicate piano accents and atmospheric pads create a sense of weightless motion, as if guiding the listener through a moonlit journey. The track’s evolving structure-subtle yet dynamic-epitomizes Renge’s knack for balancing tension and tranquility.

‘The Place Where I Always Dream’ delves deeper, pairing a rolling groove with introspective melodies. Warm, resonant chords cascade over a bed of textured percussion, while a haunting lead motif lingers like a half-remembered reverie. The track’s layered sound design and nuanced progression reflect Renge’s meticulous craftsmanship, leaving a lasting impression long after the final note fades.

Together, these tracks mark a stunning arrival for Renge on Elliptical Sun Melodies, offering a masterclass in melodic progressive house. Perfect for late-night reflections or sunrise sets, this EP is a testament to the power of soft, evocative soundscapes in dance music.
