Lostradio’s Lucid Girl: A Trance Trip Worth Taking
Alright, let’s get real here. Lostradio’s Lucid Girl isn’t just another drop in the ocean of electronic music—it’s more like a neon-lit slap to the face that wakes you up from whatever boring playlist coma you’ve been stuck in. Released back in 2019 outta Russia by Roman Zorin (self-released under his own label), this album hits hard where it counts: straight into your brainstem with its pulsating beats and euphoric vibes.
First off, the titular track “Lucid Girl” is an absolute banger. It kicks off with these swirling synths that feel like you’re floating through space but still grounded enough to lose yourself on the dancefloor. The build-up? Damn near perfect. You can tell Zorin knows how to craft tension without dragging it out too long—just when you think it’s gonna explode, BAM, the drop hits harder than expected. That melody sticks to your head like gum on a shoe; trust me, I had it looping for days after hearing it once.
Then there’s another standout called… well, okay, full disclosure—I don’t even remember all the track names because they blend together so seamlessly, but one stood out for being kinda raw and edgy compared to the rest. Not polished or overly clean, which honestly makes it hit different. It’s got this gritty bassline paired with high-pitched arpeggios that clash in the best way possible. Feels like someone took classic trance and gave it a shot of adrenaline. If you hate energy drinks, this’ll change your mind.
What’s wild about Lucid Girl, though, is how it balances chaos and calm at the same time. One moment you’re riding this wave of euphoria, next thing you know, you’re chilling in some dreamy soundscape. But don’t get it twisted—it ain’t soft or sappy. This album punches as much as it soothes.
Here’s the kicker: why does something self-released from Russia feel fresher than half the overproduced crap coming out of major labels lately? Maybe it’s because Zorin didn’t have a team breathing down his neck telling him what sells. He made exactly what he wanted, no compromises. And honestly? We need more artists doing that. Screw trends—make music that slaps, and people will listen.
So yeah, if you’re into trance but tired of the same old formula, give Lucid Girl a spin. Just don’t blame me if you find yourself zoning out during work meetings thinking about those drops. Oh, and fun fact—if you play it backwards, aliens might abduct you. Probably. Who knows?
