Singapore-based producer Altare steps into the spotlight with his NIGHTMODE debut, “change my mind,” arriving February 27. Since breaking onto the scene in 2019, Altare has become a standout figure in Singapore’s hardwave trap movement, crafting immersive productions that balance melodic atmospheres with high-impact bass.
“Change my mind” opens with emotive piano chords and shimmering, trance-inspired saws, instantly evoking a sense of nostalgia. Whispered, ethereal vocals guide the topline before the track evolves into a melodic trap framework, pairing crisp percussion with punchy 808s. The production alternates between bass-driven club sections and uplifting four-on-the-floor passages, blending modern trap dynamics with the emotional resonance of classic mainstage EDM. The track nods to the new wave of trap innovators while keeping Altare’s signature club-ready energy front and center.
Joining NIGHTMODE marks a pivotal moment in Altare’s career, aligning him with a label celebrated for championing forward-thinking electronic music. His catalog already includes collaborations with REMNANT.exe, Bafu, and Dravyn, earning support from major tastemakers like Alison Wonderland, Krewella, JVNA, and Party Favor. His music has also gained significant traction on TikTok, accumulating over 2.73 million collective views in the past two years, reflecting his growing global audience.
Altare has previously released on Sable Valley, MONTA Records, and Ophelia Records, establishing his presence in the melodic trap and wave ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from artists like RL Grime and Skeler, his work bridges immersive sound design with euphoric drops—a duality that defines his evolving sound.
“I wanted to blend the modern trap sound with nostalgic dance-music leads, creating something emotive and euphoric that still works in a club setting. Really excited to drop this one with NIGHTMODE; I’ve been following the label for a couple of years, and they’ve been instrumental in pushing modern electronic music forward,” Altare shares.
With “change my mind,” Altare delivers a track that honors his roots while propelling his sound into the next generation of melodic trap and wave music.
Altare’s “change my mind” is available now on all platforms via NIGHTMODE.
