On August 22, breakout US-based DJ and producer Soraya takes a major leap forward in her career with her debut release on the prestigious Realm Records. Her new single, “Danse de L’amour,” delivers a seductive late-night club cut to Gorgon City’s iconic imprint, blending indie-dance-fueled stabs, sultry French-Creole vocals, and a groovy low-end that builds toward a euphoric, after-hours climax.
The track is already turning heads among selectors worldwide, receiving early support from Jamie Jones, Claptone, Oliver Heldens, TSHA, Innellea, Luttrell, Adriatique, Themba, Sam Divine, Samantha Loveridge, Bingo Players, Moullinex, Linska, and more.
Sharing her excitement about the release, Soraya says, “Releasing on Realm is truly a dream come true. I’ve always admired their roster, so it feels incredible to be part of the family. Gorgon City are not only some of the most talented producers in the game, but also some of the most genuine human beings – and I’m beyond grateful for their belief in me.”
A fast-rising name in the United States’ dance scene, the Filipino-American talent has built her reputation on dynamic sets weaving between indie dance, house, and techno. Her productions have already made waves, with her debut track “Brain Delay” on Maccabi House soaring into Beatport’s Indie Dance Top 10 within 24 hours of release. The track garnered support from tastemakers like Adam Ten, Mita Gami, Pete Tong, Enamour, and Sam Shure.
On stage, Soraya has proven equally magnetic, performing at underground parties in Los Angeles as well as major festivals and venues in San Diego, El Salvador, Las Vegas, Honolulu, San Francisco, and beyond. Her appearances at Academy LA, Day Trip, Area15 Las Vegas, Sound Nightclub, and FNGRS CRSSD have cemented her as a must-watch artist. She has shared the stage with selectors like Ayybo, Super Flu, Eli & Fur, Mita Gami, and Max Styler, positioning her firmly among the next generation of dance music leaders.
With “Danse de L’amour,” Soraya not only joins the revered Realm Records roster but also solidifies her reputation as one of electronic music’s most compelling rising forces. For fans eager to catch her live, she’ll perform alongside Gorgon City, AZZECA, and Kamino during the Realm Records takeover in her hometown of San Diego on September 13.
