Surf Mesa and Stace Cadet converge on a radiant wave of melody and motion with their new single “The Moment,” out October 24 via Lost In Dreams Records. Blending Surf Mesa’s serene, sunlit take on electronic music with Stace Cadet’s euphoric, rhythm-driven energy, the track is a progressive house anthem about embracing change and stepping into a new chapter together.
“The Moment” thrives in the quiet breath before transformation. Stace Cadet’s signature rasp unfurls over soft piano chords and shimmering pads, while Surf Mesa grounds the sentiment in lush, oceanic textures. Bright arpeggiations ripple beneath the vocal refrain, carried by a fluid groove that swells toward cathartic release, creating melodic house that feels plush, unhurried, and emotionally alive.
“This song is almost like a time capsule for me,” Surf Mesa shares. “It started back in 2019 when Stace wrote it in LA, and over the years it matured into what it is now. We’re releasing two versions: the Original Mix and the Sunset Mix. The Sunset Mix preserves the earliest chord progression, while the Original Mix shows how far the song has evolved—a culmination of years of creative exploration and growth.”
Stace Cadet adds, “‘The Moment’ means a great deal to me, it’s the first song I wrote on my first trip to LA and has always been a true piece of myself. Working on it with Surf, who also means so much to me, has been very special.”
For Surf Mesa, the release continues his evolution of ‘aloe vera house’—a melodic, uplifting style built to heal and inspire. The Seattle-born, Los Angeles-based producer has amassed billions of streams with hits like double-Platinum single “ily (i love you baby)” and collaborations with Madison Beer, Gus Dapperton, NITTI, Zeeba, and MKLA. He has performed at major festivals and venues including Lost In Dreams Festival, Breakaway, Echostage, and Audio SF.
Stace Cadet, the ARIA-nominated producer and vocalist from Adelaide, has earned platinum status, national radio support, and co-signs from John Summit, Anna Lunoe, SIDEPIECE, Armin van Buuren, and Claptone. Known for fusing emotional resonance with dancefloor energy, his signature style anchors the collaborative spirit of “The Moment.”
Together, Surf Mesa and Stace Cadet capture the essence of Lost In Dreams Records: melodic, meaningful, and deeply human. “The Moment” is a celebration of clarity, vulnerability, and hope, where melody becomes the bridge between change and connection.
