DaPlazz’s latest single, Nebulous, is a track that feels less like a song and more like a journey through misty skies. Instead of charging forward with pounding beats and flashing lights, this one slows things down, asking you to pause, breathe, and sink into its soulful core. It’s electronic music, yes—but not the kind you’d only hear in a crowded club. This is the sort you’d want in your headphones on a late-night walk, when the world feels a little quieter, a little softer.
What makes Nebulous stand out is how it balances light and shadow. Darren Rook, who grew up on classical piano before diving into synths and production, gives the song a foundation that feels rich and layered. You can hear the elegance of someone who knows how to weave different styles together, nodding to greats like The Chemical Brothers and Groove Armada while still sounding unmistakably fresh. On top of this, Marie-Louise Anastas—aka Plasma Baby—adds lyrics that are like puzzle pieces of poetry, carrying hints of mystery and emotion. They don’t just tell a story straight on; they make you think, twist, and feel your way through the meaning.
What’s refreshing is that Nebulous doesn’t try too hard to be the life of the party. Instead, it invites listeners to close their eyes and drift, like floating in a dream where sound is the only guide. It’s soulful, yes, but not sleepy—there’s a pulse under the surface, steady enough to keep you swaying along. For DaPlazz, Nebulous shows maturity, a willingness to trade the easy thrill of high-energy drops for something more thoughtful, more human. It’s proof that dance music doesn’t always need to be about speed—it can also be about space, about breathing, about wandering through the nebulous unknown
