Draku Returns with His Deeply Atmospheric Second Release on City of Drums Black Label: “Dark Plantasia”

City of Drums Black Label is proud to present the second release from rising electronic producer Draku: the evocative and immersive “Dark Plantasia.” Blending deep melodic house, hypnotic techno grooves, and cinematic soundscapes, this release invites listeners into an otherworldly ecosystem—where darkness blooms and nature pulses with electronic life.

Draku experienced a strange dream: a dense jungle where every leaf and vine moved to the beat of an invisible rhythm. But this was no peaceful paradise—this forest had a pulse, a heart, and a darkness. Creatures stirred in the undergrowth, roots whispered secrets, and the plants danced to a brooding melodic techno symphony.
“Dark Plantasia” was born from that dream.

🎵 The Sound of an Organic Dreamscape. Across its runtime, Dark Plantasia explores contrasts—light and dark, organic and synthetic, meditative and driving. 

This release captures the core ethos of City of Drums Black Label—music that pushes boundaries, tells stories, and creates immersive sonic environments.

Draku’s ability to blend emotion, groove, and storytelling has already caught the attention of melodic house and techno lovers. With “Dark Plantasia,” he takes a bold step forward in both artistry and concept, crafting a release that is as thoughtful as it is danceable.

Whether you're a DJ looking for atmospheric tracks that still move the floor, or a listener seeking a deep headphone journey, Dark Plantasia is a must-experience.

I produced this track back in 2015 and just gave it a fresh master! 
Sadly, I no longer had the original project file, so I couldn’t tweak the mix, but the foundation still felt strong.
If you’re enjoying the vibe, hit that follow and drop a like — every bit of support helps me reach more listeners! 🙌 Thank you <3
