Still Life in Motion
Elyra Dawn
Verified Artist
Elyra Dawn
Elyra Dawn was born in Rotterdam, raised between ferry horns and late-night radio static. Music wasn’t a choice — it was everywhere. Her mother sang quietly while folding laundry, her older brother blasted trance through paper-thin walls, and Elyra? She listened. Carefully. Absorbing melodies like secondhand sunlight.
She spent her teenage years bouncing between school choirs, bedroom recordings, and weekend trips to Amsterdam’s record stores. The moment she first heard Robyn’s Dancing On My Own on a train platform at dusk, something clicked. It wasn’t just about sadness or joy — it was how you could wear both in the same voice. That duality, the push and pull between euphoria and vulnerability, would become Elyra’s signature.
After performing in local clubs and uploading small demos online, she received an unexpected email from Filodyo’s Hakan E — a message that simply said: “You sound like you’ve lived a little. Let’s talk.” What followed was a slow, careful collaboration: late-night file exchanges, voice memos from backstage, moments captured between flights. Elyra didn’t rush it. She never does.
Today, her voice balances two worlds — the sweaty rush of the dancefloor and the quiet ache of a Sunday morning alone. Her hooks stick, her delivery stings, and her presence on stage feels at once intimate and cinematic. Elyra Dawn isn’t here to be loud. She’s here to be heard.
Still Life in Motion
Elyra Dawn
I kept your echo in a borrowed chord
Faded at the edges like a prayer ignored
You never spoke in “forever” terms—
Only in glances only in turns
We drew lines in passing trains
Paused in motion looped refrains
What we had was quiet gold—
But time like steam refused to hold
So I won't chase the version of us
That never really stayed never fully was
You were a still life mid-collapse
A moving part in silent gaps
And I loved you there—
Where the light never dared
But lingered
Like it knew
We’d vanish fair
You hummed in keys I couldn’t trace
Left fingerprints on open space
A breath a shift a tilted frame
No villain here just untitled blame
Maps don’t cover scenes like this
Where lips forget what touch meant bliss
But if you ask what we became—
A shadow signed with no one’s name
I won't rewrite the note you played
Or tune the silence we conveyed
You were a still life breaking fast
A fleeting truth I couldn’t grasp
And I loved you there—
Not to repair—
But to remember
Without despair
Maybe we were best
in between intentions
Not a love song—
just the tension
Still life
in motion
Still life
Not frozen

Unbreakable Rhythm
Amanda Lear
Woke up in the shadow of night
Gotta keep my head up high
No tears no sign of fright
Underneath this endless sky
Facing battles with a smile
Every mile makes me wise
Every step takes a while
But I’ll soar above the lies
I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained
Through the storm and the rain
I found myself again
Not a moment spent in vain
I dance away the pain
I am strong and unbreakable
Life’s a dance unshakable
Feel the beat I'm unchained
In this game I’ve remained
Every heartbeat a new dawn
Mind so fierce moving on
I won’t break I won’t fall
Through it all I stand tall

Manon Vallois
Where Parisian glamour meets electro-pop dance diva, you'll find the enchanting artist, Manon Vallois. Traipsing down a yellow brick road of pulsing beats and bold impressions, Vallois' irresistible tunes are the epitome of joy and joie de vivre.
This delightful, quirky Parisienne is the lovechild of the City of Love's rich artistry and throbbing nightlife, a lass always found a hop, skip, and pirouette away from the nearest beat drop. With her signature track, "My Dreaming Life", Vallois provides the escapism we all need from time to time. She takes listeners on a whimsical journey, backed by high-energy rhythms and melodies that would make even the Eiffel Tower shake its steel self, setting hearts aflutter quicker than you can say "Croissant".
Vallois' music is the couture of the dance genre—handcrafted, energetic, and unafraid to be avant-garde. Each beat an homage to Paris, the pulsing rhythm of her home injected into pulsating electro melodies. Yet, no matter how vivacious her bass line or infectious her hook, it's the inherent optimism in her music, the joy she infuses in every track that transforms listeners into undeniably happy dancers—a task only possible by someone as enchanting as Manon Vallois.
Afterall, Vallois is not just a sonic maven, she's essentially happiness personified. The dictionary people are just slackin' by not placing her picture beside the word 'happy' by now. So, if you're feeling downhearted, just press play on a Manon Vallois track and dance like a Parisian; it's the quickest route from gloom to groove central.
My Dreaming Life
Manon Vallois
When I'm out of breath
When my head's a mess
When I want a way to fly away
When I can't take it
When I feel my grip
Slip away
Away
Away
Oh
I can be anything I want to
Oh
A million colors
A thousand hues
Oh
I know there's so much more than we can see
When life is too real
Oh
My dreaming life is everything
When the ground shakes
When my heart breaks
When I want a way to fly away
When I feel my grip
Slip away
Away
Away
Oh
I can be anything I want to
Oh
A million colors
A thousand hues
Oh
I know there's so much more than we can see
When life is too real
Oh
My dreaming life is everything
Open your eyes
We're already here
Oh
There's nothing to fear
And I know
I can be anything I want to
Oh
A million colors
A thousand hues
Oh
I know there's so much more than we can see
When life is too real
Oh
My dreaming life is everything

Yeah
No voy a llorar por ti
Not tonight
No
Me llamas tarde
I let it ring
Ya no me compras
With anything
Tenías mi tiempo
Tenías mi voz
Now you get silence
Cuando digo adiós
No soy la misma
You knew before
Cerré tu puerta
Without a war
Mira mi cara
Mira bien
Perdiste todo
Por no querer
I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez
No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it
No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Tu foto sigue
But not with me
Me veo más fuerte
Since I got free
No busco drama
No busco show
Si preguntan por mí
Tell them I glow
Tengo mis planes
Tengo mi paz
Tú fuiste casi
But never enough
I don’t do revenge
I don’t do regret
Solo camino
Y tú no estás
I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez
No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it
No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
No quiero flores
No quiero explanation
You had my heart
You missed the location
No necesito
Tu versión
I got my body
Back on control
Si tú me ves
Don’t come too close
I’m not your girl
Ya se acabó
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it
No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción
Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes
No voy a llorar por ti
Not tonight
Sin pedir perdón

Faded Picture of Us...
Greta Falk
Verified Artist
Greta Falk
Meet Greta Falk - a woman who writes letters to the world in the form of melody, one coffee cup at a time. Best known for her achingly beautiful duet, "Faded Picture of Us (Nova Grip)", Greta's music dares you not to feel.
Once a humble barista, Greta swapped her Americano for Allegros, her caramel macchiato for concertos. Working the espresso machine in a little café back in her hometown, she spent her spare time spinning a web of storytelling, uncovering the lyrical undercurrents in the daily grind of coffee beans. Vienna was just a faded picture on a postcard then, an elusive dream that seemed light years away.
Greta's big break came after an impromptu performance in the café, grabbing the heartstrings of a customer who happened to be a music producer on a caffeine kick. Next thing she knew, she was packing her passport alongside her piano sheet music. Soon after settling in Vienna, Greta would tie the knot with the city and her newfound love. So if you thought romance was only found in a Vienna coffee house with a slice of Sachertorte, allow “Faded Picture of Us (Nova Grip)” to change your mind.
In a world where pop music often relies on sugar-coated hooks, Greta Falk’s songwriting serves up a double espresso – unflinching, raw, and undeniably addictive. So here's to Greta, crafting symphonies one coffee bean — I mean note, at a time. This woman not only proves that it's never too latte to follow your dreams but also that behind every successful artist, there’s substantial amount of caffeine. Greta definitely knows her art just as well as her coffee art!

My Soul Is Healed
Sandra Johanson
Lost within the aisles wandering astray
Enthralled by the shelves in a silent ballet
Each product beckons with a silent allure
In this retail haven I'm lost unsure
Aisle by aisle a world of wonder revealed
In the beauty of the shelves my soul is healed
Captivated by the offerings in every display
In this shopping symphony I dance and sway
Within the racks I find solace in each glance
In the simplicity of choice I take a chance
For amidst the chaos of the store's grand design
I discover serenity in every shelf's line

I kept each feeling under glass
A private rule from years gone past
You saw the lock you did not push
You gave me room to choose enough
Now every reason feels too old
I want a life I do not hold
One honest move one steady start
A simple route from heart to heart
Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart
You kept your plans behind a grin
Afraid that I would not step near
But caution only served the past
We have a chance to make this last
Now every reason feels too old
We want a life we do not hold
One honest move one steady start
A simple route from heart to heart
Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart
No locked reply no coded test
We say the need and give our best
If fear returns we name it fast
Then choose what matters choose what lasts

No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart

Better By Half
The Corner Clerks
You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense
There’s a man at the station
With a paper and a grin
Says the world keeps turning
But nobody clocks in
You had plans on a napkin
Now they’re folded in your coat
You keep laughing at the timing
Like it’s some private joke
There’s a queue at the bakery
There’s a dog outside the bank
There’s a song from a taxi
That you almost want to thank
You don’t need a big answer
You don’t need a grand escape
You just need one decent Tuesday
And a bit less on your plate
So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last
Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Your cousin had a theory
About getting out clean
Then he bought a small van
And a coffee machine
Now he parks by the market
With his radio low
Says the secret is simple
Never let Monday know
You remember old trouble
With a smile on its face
How it sat beside your future
And took up all the space
But you made a little progress
On a very plain day
Paid one bill sent one message
Threw one bad thought away
So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last
Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
No parade no headline
No speech to rehearse
Just a small kind of fortune
When it could have been worse
You can carry your worries
But loosen the strap
Life may not fix you
But it cuts you some slack
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

Our Motor City minx entered the scene somewhat cagily, her piercing blue eyes full of stories almost as deep as the bass lines she commands. She distils raw emotions into dance-ready soundscapes, affirming that tears are permitted even on the most electrified dance floors. Like the mysterious femme fatale prowling through the ruins of a John Carpenter flick, Montel's music envelops you in its brooding embrace.
Dara's playful wit is just as intoxicating as her infectious grooves. With a knack for turning pain into art, she continues to defy Detroit's icy weather, radiating heat one tear-stained synth at a time. Her “Plastic Crown,” fittingly, feels neither plastic nor regal—it's pure, cathartic Dara Montel. You’d better get on this vibe train, 'cos it ain't stopping anytime soon.
The Dara Montel revolution won't be televised, it'll be danced. So go on, put on that Plastic Crown, let the sadness seep into your soul and boogie like it’s the end of the world. Detroit’s dark dance queen reigns supreme.
Plastic Crown
Dara Montel
You walk in slow
Like you own the room
Cheap little grin
With a silver spoon
Say my name twice
Like it makes you tall
I don’t look up
I just let you fall
You talk too loud
For a little spark
I count your lies
Like cards in the dark
I don’t bite
I just smile real mean
Keep my hands clean
On the crime scene
You act tough
But you bow back down
I look cute
With a plastic crown
Yeah yeah
Plastic crown
Yeah yeah
[Vocal Tremolo Effect]
Bow back down
Don’t call me sweet
I’m a bad excuse
For the kind of girl
That would wait on you
Got red shoes on
And a bored little face
I don’t run fast
I just change the race
You talk too much
For a silent room
I cut the fuse
Then I blame the moon
I don’t bite
I just smile real mean
Keep my hands clean
On the crime scene
You act tough
But you bow back down
I look cute
With a plastic crown
Yeah yeah
Plastic crown
Yeah yeah
[Vocal Tremolo Effect]
Bow back down
Ha
Look at you
Trying hard
That’s adorable
Ha
Move along
You were never
That important
[Final Chorus]
I don’t bite
I just smile real mean
Keep my hands clean
On the crime scene
You act tough
But you bow back down
I look cute
With a plastic crown
Yeah yeah
Plastic crown
Yeah yeah
Bow back down
Tiny king
Tiny throne
Tiny crown
All alone
