Under:tones, the electronic collaboration between Planet Funk’s Alex Neri and Matteo Zarcone, with the mesmerising vocals of Sonny Reeves, return with their euphoric new single ‘Crossroads’. Following their debut “Dreaming (Wide Awake),” the track offers a tantalizing glimpse of their forthcoming 2026 album Encounters.
Written and produced across Los Angeles, London, and Florence, Crossroads fuses analog warmth with forward-thinking production, blending cinematic storytelling with emotional depth. From the first shimmering synth lines and pulsating rhythms, the track draws listeners into a high-energy journey built for sunrise sets, festival peaks, and moments of collective connection.
The track’s whispered vocal motifs, with the word “Encounters” floating like a signal through the mix, set the stage for a drop that propels ‘Crossroads’ firmly into melodic techno territory. Driving beats, soaring textures, and euphoric hooks make it impossible not to move, aligning the sound with the likes of Jon Hopkins, Fred Again, Moderat, Disclosure, and Christian Löffler.
Yet beyond its festival-ready energy, ‘Crossroads’ is a deeply emotive experience. Every buildup brims with anticipation, every release bursts with euphoric unity, capturing the essence of transformation at life’s pivotal moments. It’s both personal and collective, intimate and expansive, a signature of under:tones’ ability to blend emotional storytelling with dancefloor power.
With ‘Crossroads’, under:tones cement themselves as a project pushing boundaries across genre, culture, and generation. This is a track designed not just for the club, but for the moments where music transcends the room, and it heralds a 2026 that promises global impact.
